"You won't do it"

World War II ended with the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945.

Japan was devastated.

The country rose from ashes like a pheonix.

Whereas "Made in Japan" was considered synonymous with poor and shoddy quality before WWII, it transformed into the guarantee of astonishing quality. All within a few decades.

Legends like Dr.Edward Deming and Joseph Juran helped Japan become a quality Mecca!

Entire world was awed by the transformation.

Every country in the world started feeling the heat of Japanese quality in the world markets.

Everyone wanted to know the Japanese secrets behind their quality revolution.

The Americans sent a team to Japan to dig out "the secret".

They went to one of the best companies of Japan and tried to fish "the secret".

To their shock, the Japanese manager started openly discussing their best practices, their new ideas, their "secret".

He discussed everything in detail and with passion.

He told and showed them all!

When the American delegation was about to leave, they couldn't resist the temptation of asking the manager

"why did u tell us all ur secrets?"

The manager smiled.

He asked the delegation to follow him.

He took them to his cabin and pointed towards a packard with something written on it in Japanese.

"This is the reason why!", he said with a wider smile.

The delegation was clueless!

They didn't know Japanese.

Do you know what was written on that signboard?

"You won't do it!"

==============================================================

Stock market or any other field.

We all learn a lot of things.

But we don't do it!
