Jiro’s Secret of Sushi and Success

Jiro is an 85yearold

sushi master in Japan. He is falling in love with his work,

and have no complain about his job. Even in his dreams, he will have visions of sushi.

My grandfather also has good attitudes to job and his life. He enjoys reading and

spends time with his cohort groups. They all share common participation on social

activities to share knowledge to youths, and selffulfillment

to achieve to a higher level,

which is based on United Nation’s principles for older persons. There are five most

import determinants of the WHO Active Aging framework for Jiro, to have more

opportunities in his environment to be a sushi master. There are behavior determinants,

personal determinants, physical environment determinants, culture determinants, and

social environment determinants. All of determinants are keys to Jiro’s success on

sushi.

Jiro believes it is important to focus on his own life and mastering his skill. This is

his key and secret of success on his sushi career. When Jiro making sushi, he always

has a stern look on his face, because he is highly focussed on things he does. Jiro can

inject a certain depth of flavor to a simple sushi, as Jori said: ultimate simplicity leads to

purity. In Jiro’s restaurant, he only serves sushi, and no other dishes. There are no

techniques for making sushi with good flavors according to Jiro’s words. He believes it’s

important to repeat the same thing every day, and then will come with effort. There are

no techniques for making sushi with good flavors according to Jiro’s words. He believes

Although, there are people born with talents, but Jior think if you can work hard and you

will eventually come better over time. But if you want to reach to a higher level, talent

will need to place.

Basically Jiro spend his time on the same routine everyday. Jiro is crazy about

work, and he doesn’t even like holiday, because he feels it’s too long for him and he

wants back to work. As great chief, Jiro follow five attributes. He work very seriously, he

willing to improve his skills, always keeps the cleanliness, patience, and passionate. Jiro

like to do things over and over to improve his ability to make sushi, because he is

perfectionism. And he also believes there are more space for him to improve it.

Therefore, he trying hard to climb, and wants to reach the top, although there is nobody

knows where is the top. He never hates his once and always fell in love with his work.

Compare to the old elders like Jiro, my grandfather Zonghao Li also passionate

about his job as a high school’s principal in China. After he retired, he also found joys in

his life. He will listen to radios, and read newspapers in the morning to expand the lens

of his mind. And then he will go out and publish blackboard newspaper in his

community. He collected recent news for daily, wrote down on the blackboard, then

share to all the neighbors in the community. In this way, people learned knowledge from

blackboard newspaper. My grandfather is also feeling fully engaged and fulfilled. After

breakfast he will go to a senior center near where he lives, to participate at a senior

chorus. He spent time with his cohort; they shared similar experiences of life, pleasant

time of singing, and they even went to performance outoftown.

After he gets home in

the afternoon, he will watch the news in the TV or read books. My grandfather has a

good habit for over 40 years, which is he will write a journal about his life and things

happened around him. He will feel more complete when we write a journal at night

before he goes to sleep.

My grandfather is satisfaction with his retirement in general. His attention is fully

on what happen in the world, what progress today’s society made, and also joy times

like in the senior chorus, or writing a journal about life. All of his attention made him

becomes more positive about study and life, and more willing to learn and make more

joy to the people around him.

Compare and contrast the older adults in their later life, they both made

contributions in the society, and willing to go to a higher level in their life. Base on the

United Nation’s principles of older persons, Participation is one of the main principle,

“Older persons should remain integrated in society, participate actively in the

formulation and implementation of policies that directly affect their wellbeing

and share

their knowledge and skills with younger generations ” is a subprinciple.
