Zen Word For Better Communication #26 水声無古今 Suisei-Kokon-Nashi

Flowing water is never the same, but its sound remains unchanged throughout time.

Even as events and circumstances in the world change, there are certain truths and essences that remain constant.

Rather than being fixated on the events unfolding before our eyes, let us take a step back and calmly observe the situation at hand.

Even in times of rapid change, let us not lose sight of our unchanging values and principles.

The world is currently facing major changes, including in the business world. That is why our ability to discern the essence of things and our values are being put to the test.

No matter how much society changes, human relationships, especially bonds with family and friends, remain fundamentally unchanged. Despite the rise of social media, the importance of in-person interaction and mutual trust remains universal and transcends generations.  – K.Kato
