Vol. 2 of NewsPicks Brand Magazine produced by NewsPicks Brand Design
The theme is “How to work and live in the future
This Japanese magazine contains tips on “time” and “relationships (with people and places)” to survive the complex modern world in Japan.
This magazine was released three years ago, in April 2020, and the suggestions made by the magazine were implied rather than hinted at by the subsequent popularity of Corona, and it seems as if the way of working in Japan has inevitably become the trend as suggested by the magazine.
As a common denominator around the world, I believe that each person’s relationship to time and the relationship that surrounds him or herself is truly unique.
I believe that if a person lives his/her life thinking about everything, big or small, then others have no right to tell him or her what to do with his/her life.
However, people tend to want to impose their “right” on others.
That is why, in spite of all the talk about diversity, I think the reason why diversification is not progressing in Japan and around the world is because many people do not question their own ideas.
Many people do not look back and think about themselves unless something difficult happens to them in their daily lives.
This is because they can live a normal life without thinking about it.
However, many people don’t realize that this is a very happy thing.
And it is only when something difficult happens to them that they realize that they were in a happy state.
I am sure that many people have thought about their own lives in the wake of the corona epidemic that has challenged the way people around the world live their lives.
Although corona itself is a disease that we do not want to see spread, I believe that the fact that a situation was created that made people rethink their lives was a good thing in terms of living one’s own life.
This is because it is difficult for people to stop by themselves when their busy lives are taken for granted.
And in the midst of a busy life, facing oneself becomes a secondary or even a tertiary concern.
However, I think that the fact that the whole world was forced to think about their future in Corona and had to face their own hearts and minds was a very important time for them to think about how they want to live their lives.
Some may have faced their own hearts and realized that they were more lonely than they thought.
Many may have felt lonely in an environment where they could not meet with others, while many others may have found it easy.
Some may have found it easier to be alone than they thought.
I believe that Corona played an important role in bringing awareness to my mind.
Now that the coronas have converged and the world is gradually beginning to become active, I believe that more and more people will surely be able to find new ways of thinking and living their lives again.
