"One Day, One Life" Live each day as a lifetime | SHUHEI NAMEKAWA | TEDxKatano
Carrying the phrase “One day, one life” deep in his heart, the speaker lives by five principles taught by his mentor in Eastern philosophy. In the past, he had been obsessed with “survival of the fittest,” working nonstop until his health and family relationships crumbled. However, guided by his mentor and the presence of daughters coping with a severe illness, he came to appreciate the miracle of life and the importance of devoting himself wholeheartedly to each moment.He stresses that the trust gained by consistently practicing these five principles—protecting the person in front of you, keeping personal promises, speaking courteously yet honestly, and continuing to learn—is what is most valuable in life. By adhering to them unwaveringly, he was able to rebuild his family life, improve his company’s performance, and spread the “One day, one life” mindset to many people both in Japan and beyond. He concludes that if one resolves to live every day as if it were the last, any challenge can be overcome, bringing peace and stronger bonds to those around us.
