Work is not something you learn by being taught, it is something you learn by watching and stealing from your boss and seniors.
Watch their backs and grow up!
Work is something you learn by stealing.
This is the way of thinking.
As time goes by, the trend has changed, but this time We would like to tell you what is in the back.
In order to convey what is in the back, you need to know the difference between skills and techniques.
What are skills?
Although the words “skill” and “technique” are similar, they also have distinctly different meanings.
The ability to use “technology” is called “skill.
- Skill: the ability to do something skillfully, such as the work of making things.
- Technology: the way or means of handling or processing things.
The word “skill” refers to “something that is acquired through experience”.
It is also something that is built up through experience and is “something that resides in a person”.
Therefore, it is sometimes said that “no one can take away what the body has learned”.
Basically, when the person dies, the skills disappear.
If there is a successor and the skill can be passed on, it can be passed on, but it is built up through the experience of the successor and will never be exactly the same.
For example, let’s consider “sushi chef”.
- How much rice (rice pudding) do you take in your hand?
- How hard do you grip it?
- How much wasabi to put on top?
- How big a piece of fish do you put on top?
We also observe the eater in front of us, and make sushi based on our senses of today’s weather, temperature, humidity, and the eater’s physical condition and preferences.
It is built on experience, so sushi chefs devote all their energy and ingenuity to it.
Even if you record with a video camera, you will not be able to understand even the most minute sensations.
What we can see in the recorded data is only what he is doing and the result of doing it.
Probably, even if you imitate the recorded data, you will not be able to get the same results.
What is technology?
The following information given in the “Skills” section can be standardized as a “recipe”.
The result of standardizing a recipe is a skill.
- How much rice (rice pudding) do you take in your hand?
- How hard do you grip it?
- How much wasabi to put on top?
- How big a piece of fish do you put on top?
Technology can also be called knowledge.
Skills can be recorded and preserved, so they can be passed on to many people as a “recipe book” or “recipe video” regardless of the person.
What’s important
It is not a question of which is better, skill or technology? It is not a question of which is better.
In the case of “skill,” it is something that is built up over a long period of time, and it is something that is passed down from generation to generation, not just acquired.
Since it is impossible to acquire skills without learning through experience, it is also necessary to “practice and grasp” them.
Also, in order to do our best, we need to be “particular”.
In order to do your best, you need to be particular about your materials, tools, and procedures.
Unfortunately, there are many “Art of making things” that have been handed down from generation to generation.
What kind of thoughts are they trying to pass on?
What thoughts are they trying to preserve?
We think it is important to try to feel them.
