Options are a weapon - and a trap

Novemver 29,2025

Toxic workplaces and the U.S. - China power struggle share the same core truth: the side with more options controls the side with none.Not understanding this structure is like stepping onto a battlefield unarmed.

Those without options have no freedom
When you lack options, you get cornered. People take advantage of you because you have no alternatives - they can spin you around in the palm of their hand. In that position, you risk being controlled. That’s why you must project that you’re not dependent on anyone - that you’d be perfectly fine even if you cut ties tomorrow.

Dictatorship - The Leader Who Lost His Mirror

October 31,2025

A while ago, I came across the term “Seven Ministers of Dissent” in the morning edition of the Nikkei. It refers to seven subordinates who are unafraid to speak their minds, even to their ruler.

Additive vs. Subtractive Scoring ー Two Axes of Evaluation
In organizations, evaluation methods can be seen along two axes: additive scoring (proactive) and subtractive scoring (passive).

The Courage to Pause Shapes the Future

July 30,2025
Running nonstop isn’t the only form of progress. Sometimes, it’s the pauses, the reflections, and the things we choose to let go of that become the true driving force toward the future.

Sustainable Progress Requires Deliberate Pauses
When trying to move forward, we may need to accept that short-term pauses are necessary for long-term momentum. If we ignore this, things might seem fine for now — but eventually, we risk a harsh backlash. It’s like how athletes stretch after training: to promote recovery, prevent injury, and maintain optimal condition for what comes next.
