Yota Tamura explores why wanting to succeed but not praying for others' failures makes work go better.

In this solo episode, social insurance labor consultant Yota Tamura discusses the theme of desiring success without praying for others' failures. He opens by framing this as a counterintuitive approach that makes work go better in competitive environments. Tamura references skateboarder Sakura Yosozumi's interview comment about not wanting to wish for competitors' failures, which inspired his reflection. He then shares a personal story from his university days, where he placed fifth in a national Malay speech contest in Malaysia and struggled to genuinely applaud the winner. From this experience, he learned the importance of being honestly happy for others' success. Tamura presents three structured reasons why this mindset benefits work. First, it allows individuals to focus on their own growth and effort rather than being distracted by others' failures, which can lead to unconscious sabotage and hinder long-term development. Second, it builds trust within organizations, as people who don't wish failure on colleagues are more likely to be trusted and promoted. Tamura draws from his experience as both an employee and an independent consultant to emphasize that companies value those who foster trust. Third, this attitude creates a healthier, brighter workplace atmosphere where people support each other, contributing to organizational growth. He relates this to his own business, Suncareer Inc., which specializes in overseas office services for foreign employees, positioning it in a 'Blue Ocean' niche with little competition in Tokyo. Tamura concludes by encouraging listeners to adopt this mindset in daily life and work, noting that trust is built gradually but can be lost instantly. The episode ends with promotional messages for the podcast, including calls for reviews and engagement on social media.
