インドネシア研修⑭

以下、残りの生徒たちの総括感想です②

■

It was a really fulfilling week. In the pre-learning phase, we learned a lot about Bendega and business, and we thought we had prepared well. However, once we were on site, things didn't work out as we had expected. There were many situations where we couldn't present well, and moments when discussions didn't move forward. Still, we all worked together, didn't give up on the interviews, and made it to the final presentation.

Throughout this program, I really felt the difficulty of moving the program forward. I learned the importance of working backward from the goal and sorting out solutions to problems one by one. I also noticed the importance of having a purpose from the beginning and analyzing things based on hypotheses and results.

During this program, I advanced my skills in looking at things from different perspectives, as well as actively presenting my thoughts and pointing out things that felt strange to me. I also talked to many strangers to hear their thoughts and communicate with them, which gave me a lot of confidence in myself.

The most memorable thing throughout this program was communication. Communicating between languages was really difficult because there were cases where I couldn't make others understand what I wanted to say. Logically explaining and organizing my thoughts so that others could understand was also hard. However, I wanted to cherish the happy feeling of being able to say what I wanted and understand each other by making creative efforts in how I asked questions and expressed myself to keep the conversation going. It was a big experience for me to communicate with people who have different values and ways of thinking.

On the other hand, reality wasn't as ideal as it may sound. I felt that I couldn't utilize what I had learned up until then at the sales event and the final presentation. I think we were able to give Bendega a new perspective, but honestly, I regret that I could have done more.

Under such circumstances, I received severe feedback from the mentors, such as: "Why are you in Bali?" "What is your purpose?" and "Aren't you thinking of this as someone else's problem?" These points struck me deeply. I thought that I had considered things from various points of view and expressed my opinions, but maybe I didn't do enough. I felt the importance of taking action with a clear purpose and having a sense of ownership.

They also pointed out a strange sense of pride coming from distorted self-perception. I strongly realized that even when I can't actually do something, I sometimes misunderstand that I can. This prevents me from taking action and from admitting that I can't, which leads to missing chances to grow. I felt that I needed to break this strange sense of pride and make efforts and take action with humility.

In addition, I was told about the importance of making decisions while considering the future. I was encouraged not to be satisfied with my current situation because I could aim for a higher level. Since life is something I decide for myself, this experience made me strongly feel that I needed to change.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone involved in this program, especially Mr. Ryoh, Mr. Takato, Ms. Ami, and Bendega. Thank you very much for all your wonderful support. I will not be satisfied with myself now, and based on this experience, I would like to live a better life.
