Recently, I have interpreted into English for the staff of Japan Steel Works on a major industrial investment. Harawaki San is a 34 years old, raven-haired chubby engineer with a smiling face, blessed with a good sense of humor. He was never intimidated by technical problems and the Japanese pursuit of perfection characterized him. Kawashima San, his colleague, is a commissioning engineer, with a face exuding a Buddha-like serenity and composure.<\/p>\n
One day after lunch, as a joke, I called Harawaki San a Great Japanese Samurai. He politely deflected and said that he is not the samurai, but Kawashima San is, he is a ninja. \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference between a ninja and a samurai?\u201d-, I asked. \u201cNinja - night shift, samurai - day shift...\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n
The project is over, but I always think back to my Japanese colleagues fondly. Since then, I have gained a lot of experience working with the people at Japan Steel Works. Working with them has given me the opportunity to learn about the values of Japanese culture and work ethic, and to experience their striving for perfection.\nHarawaki San, always cheerful and good-humored, never lost his cool even in the face of the most complex technical problems. And Kawashima San radiated a calm and serenity that was a constant inspiration to me. Both were great colleagues who did their job with diligence and humility.<\/p>\n

Although the time spent with my Japanese colleagues is now a thing of the past, their memories will always stay with me. The friendships and experiences that I developed while working with them have become an integral part of my life. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this project and to have met the great team at Japan Steel Works.<\/p>\n

A k\u00f6zelm\u00faltban a Japan Steel Works munkat\u00e1rsainak tolm\u00e1csoltam angolul egy ipari nagyberuh\u00e1z\u00e1son. Harawaki San 34 \u00e9ves, holl\u00f3fekete haj\u00fa k\u00f6pc\u00f6s, mosolyg\u00f3s tekintet\u0171, j\u00f3 humor\u00e9rz\u00e9kkel meg\u00e1ldott m\u00e9rn\u00f6k volt, aki sohasem j\u00f6tt zavarba a m\u0171szaki probl\u00e9m\u00e1k l\u00e1tt\u00e1n \u00e9s jellemz\u0151 volt r\u00e1 a jap\u00e1nok t\u00f6k\u00e9letess\u00e9gre t\u00f6rekv\u00e9se. Kawashima San, a koll\u00e9g\u00e1ja be\u00fczemel\u0151 m\u00e9rn\u00f6k volt, arc\u00e1r\u00f3l Buddh\u00e1\u00e9hoz hasonl\u00f3 der\u0171 \u00e9s nyugalom sug\u00e1rzott. Az egyik nap eb\u00e9d ut\u00e1n viccb\u0151l Nagy Jap\u00e1n Szamur\u00e1jnak titul\u00e1ltam Harawaki San-t. \u0150 udvariasan h\u00e1r\u00edtott \u00e9s elmondta, hogy nem \u0151 a szamur\u00e1j, hanem Kawashima San, \u0151 egy nindzsa. „Mi a k\u00fcl\u00f6nbs\u00e9g a nindzsa \u00e9s a szamur\u00e1j k\u00f6z\u00f6tt?” – k\u00e9rdeztem. „Nindzsa – \u00e9jszak\u00e1s m\u0171szak, szamur\u00e1j – nappali m\u0171szak..” – v\u00e1laszolta. A projektnek m\u00e1r v\u00e9ge, de mindig sz\u00edvesen gondolok vissza jap\u00e1n koll\u00e9g\u00e1imra. Az az\u00f3ta eltelt id\u0151ben sz\u00e1mos tapasztalattal gazdagodtam, melyeket a Japan Steel Works munkat\u00e1rsaival val\u00f3 egy\u00fcttm\u0171k\u00f6d\u00e9s sor\u00e1n szereztem.

Harawaki San, aki mindig der\u0171s \u00e9s j\u00f3 humor\u00fa volt, soha nem vesz\u00edtette el a hidegv\u00e9r\u00e9t m\u00e9g a legbonyolultabb m\u0171szaki probl\u00e9m\u00e1k el\u0151tt sem.
