If you want to create new achievements and achieve new achievements, you must believe that human abilities are infinite, and pursue human infinite possibilities through practice. Only by accumulating it and constantly tempering their own abilities can we improve and improve their capabilities.

——Daosheng Kamu

In 2009, "The Big Wisdom of Leaping in the Depression" by Kazakhstan Inamori was planned and published by Zhanlu; in 2010, his other book "Gan Law" was also planned and published by Zhanlu.

On August 24th, Kazuka died at the age of 90 at Kyoto's house. The Sri Lanka has passed, and the "elder of wisdom" has left the unlimited business philosophy of modern people.

Inabe, who has founded two Fortune 500 companies, has always been upholding the word "infinite".

Infinite, what does it mean for entrepreneurs? Inamori wrote in the book "Porcelain Philosophy":

This principle can also be expressed as: "Believe in human ability is infinite." Therefore, you can also tell the entry "the pursuit of infinite possibilities of human beings" as "everyone has infinite ability."

Many people feel that they are not very good. For example, since the elementary school, I have often forgotten to bring things, and even have zero points because of the failure of the exam. Many people have such a way of thinking. Even so, I still have to emphasize to everyone: "Please believe that you have unlimited ability."

I knew that I had no power, but I suddenly believed in "I have infinite ability" because of my incentives. Such people seem to be neither real nor reliable. But I still have to say that for the question of "whether you have infinite ability", don't think too much, rather "unreliable".

The concept of "ability" is not limited to the good or bad of the mind, but also includes all aspects of physical fitness. It can define the ability as "the sum of various abilities that should be available in society".

If you are still doubtful to the "unlimited ability" I say, then the way of "ability to improve" may be easier to understand. We must start from now and strive to temper our ability.

"I have unlimited capabilities. The reason why it has not been improved is because I did not have the sense of effort to improve their ability before, so I must start from now on."

Such a way of thinking is very important.

In the view of Kazuka, infinite thinking is not limited to the company's business. Entrepreneurs will have similar ideas when talking about the company's development policy. What he often asked himself is: "If the company has always rely on existing business, can it continue to develop?"

Regarding the infinite discussion, the earliest Professor James Cass, a professor at New York University, proposed in "Limited Games and Infinite Games". In simple terms, limited is the purpose of winning, and infinite is for the purpose of continuity.

有限的特征：已知的玩家、固定的规则、有时限、有输赢（如吵架、足球、象棋）；无限的特征：玩家有已知也有未知、没有一致认同的规则、没有时限、没有终点， No win (such as the country, education, enterprise, life).

Some people regard life, work, and entrepreneurship as one "limited game" one after another. From each exam from each school to every project of work, they always work hard for the external "title";

And some people take life and entrepreneurship as a "unlimited game", such as Inamori -Kato -they work hard and open, accept various possibilities, and are more willing to live "legendary life".

Do you want to choose limited or unlimited? In fact, there is no standard answer, but following this concept, we will find that those companies that have always been successful and old -fashioned companies are playing unlimited games of life and business with unlimited thinking.

Relatively speaking, business is a relatively easy to be ignored. Many times, KPIs that measure an ordinary employee's performance, whether the success of a company is the market share and revenue, but I do n’t know if you only use limited thinking to compete, even if you solve the opponent in front of you, and then you will still be back. There are infinite opponents that your opponents who are not expected.

How to play an unlimited game of business like Inamori and Fu? How can we look at enterprises and teams with infinite thinking? Simon Siek gave a clear answer in the book "Infinite Game":

Five elements of unlimited games: pursuing noble causes; establishing a team that trusts each other; respecting opponents worthy of contest; having a variant of existence; the courage to show leadership.

These five elements of unlimited game thinking can benefit only if you do only part of it, but if you want yourself and the company to have the ability to develop in infinite games and develop healthy, you must have nothing to do Essence

At present, we are not only in the rapidly changing business competition, but also facing the global epidemic crisis. People with limited game thinking often focus on short -term goals, and it is easier for ourselves and organizations In order to stimulate the deepest power of the organization members, leading the company to lead the difficulties.

What should we do when we encounter every fork?

Like Inamori, seeking unlimited possibilities.

Selected into Bloomberg's annual book list.Whether you are the leader, manager of a company, HR, or just ordinary workplace, you should read this book.As leaders and managers, the first goal is to keep the company in unlimited games without being eliminated. "Infinite Games" can tell you how to play this infinite game.

As a person in the workplace, we must learn how to distinguish whether the companies they want to join are playing unlimited games. "Infinite Games" can tell you how we should adjust our way of participation in this infinite game.
