There is no short cut.

Recently, I always try to discover effective way to be a good professional.
What skill is required to compete others?
What subject should I learn to survive?
What qualificaions should I get to earn big money?
How should I make my career to get better skills?

I have gradually come to conclusion that there is no short cut.
Needless to say, having a good strategy is good for effective business life.
But in my case, the first thing to do is to tackle work to complete.

Actually, I am afraid of being beaten by work.
If I challenge with my best power and I am unsuccessful, I realize reality that I don't want to know.
I am afraid of realizing true thing.
So I try to discover "good" methods to success automatically instead of challenging real world.
This is a kind of escapism.
I have no idea to escape from real world and work on a superficial level.
But subconsciously, I am afraid of challenging things that I really should do.
That's why I try to discover "good" method.

Sometimes knowing reality is tough process.
But I belive that realizing reality is necessary to improve.

my basic motivation

Last week, I participated in seminer of graduate school of professional accountancy with co-worker.
May be, I will not enter this kind of school, but it is very good for me because I again recognized importance of studying something.

Recently, I lost motivation to studying something new because I have beaten by difficult task and proffesional staff that I feel not to catch up with.
I know staff who was fired by firm bacause of inability.
I am a type of man who easily feel pressure under difficult circumstances.

However, I regained energy to work and improve my skill by attending the seminer.
I forgot initial and basic motivation for me to change my job and enter completely new world.
I changed my job in order to re-start my carrer.
I hoped to difficult circumstances and improve my ability to survive this challenging world.

I like to study something new.
It is lucky for me to get new knowledge and experiences by working for firm and clients.
And I choose this kind of job.

Banking industry

My first project is in securities company.
That was really hard for me because of my less knowledg of industry.
May be, next job I am assigned is IFRS conversion project in financial institiution.
So, I have to get knowledge of financial institution.
Actually, I like to enjoy understanding in new world.

I belive that one of the points to enjoy work is to get knowledge in current job.
By reading books, I enjoy understanding of new world as well as improve my required knowledge in next project.

I recommend 3 books related to banking and securities industry.
１．『イラスト図解　銀行のしくみ』
２．『手にとるように金融用語がわかる本』
３．『てにとるように株・証券がわかる本』

I belive that No.1 is really excellnet book for person who is willing to get whole and basic understanding of banking industry.
The title is somewhat too simple, but it contents is deep and interesting.
This book is written by cousulting firm that is specially focusing on strategic planning in banking industry, not by journalist.

No.2 book is also good book who would like to get basic understanding of today's complecated financial products.
No.3 is book easy to understand but it is too basic.
This book is good for person who can't understand difference between equity and bond.

The project was finished.

Last week friday, the FAS157 project I was assigned was finished.
This is the first project for me.
I was really overwhelmed with the task of my responsibility.
I feeled impossible many times because of my low skills.
But as a consultant, I must not say I can't complete this.
Even if it seems really impossible, we should create alternative solutions.
In this first first assignement, I could notice the responsibikity of professional.

I am going to go back office in Kojimachi next monday.
I have some free time called available, so I will improve my knowledge by reaking books and practice acounting.
