The man who will be first class...

I used to say, "Why Men Who Become First-Class Do Not Buy Light Cars - Lee SatonakaI read a book called. There seems to be a lot of controversy about this book.(more against the author than the content, it seems).I myself thought "I see what you mean" in some parts and felt uncomfortable in others. In the contents section of the Amazon page, there is this description.

Cheap, cheap association thinking is a dangerous thing.
Don't be swayed by popular thinking.

Is there value in a light car that is relatively easy to obtain?
There is no value in what anyone can buy.
There is an equivalent value, but it is an appended consciousness that "everyone can have it and feel safe".

Top-notch people do not have such thoughts.
The best also have a sense of shame and common sense toward the world.
We don't jump into something that will take or is likely to take our lives just because it's "cheap".

You are to be first class
We need to graduate from "ignorance."
Especially for things that are booming in the world.
We should be very suspicious.

I will not be swayed by popular preferences."We should be very suspicious of things, especially things that are booming in the world."I can understand that. I am not one to wait in line either, and I think that one should not just jump into anything just because it is booming, but rather, one should think for oneself and make a sound judgment.

For me, for example.The value of an hour in line is more important than the value of the food.Especially after the birth of my child, I feel, without exaggeration, that time is of the essence. Therefore, I don't buy a product because it's booming, but rather, whether the service or product is valuable to me or not, or the cost-effectiveness of the product is more important.(Maybe it's because I'm a rational thinker from the get-go...)

However, there are some aspects of the book that I felt uncomfortable about regarding its content and the description in the introduction section.

Areas of discomfort

There are three main things that I found disconcerting. The first.

(1) There is no value in what anyone can buy.

Indeed, minor things may be more expensive and more valuable. What only a few people can experience may be more in demand as information than what everyone can experience.
But on the other hand.It's something that became popular because it's convenient and anyone can afford it."There are also So does your phone.(The total cost is high, but the monthly cost is low.)Everyone has a smartphone, but with that one device, you can make phone calls, go online, work, email, and connect with the whole world.

It's more valuable because everyone can afford it and everyone has it.And there are many things that have become popular in the world because they are convenient. It cannot be said that there is no value in general.

(2) Anyway, buy an expensive car, even if it makes you look good.

Hmmm... I think there are positive aspects such as "buying a luxury car even if it makes you look good, and growing by working hard to make yourself worthy of it".But on the other hand, if it's a car you really wantI think it's okay to buy a light car.The S660 is just plain cool, and it is cool for a man to be able to say with conviction, "This mini-car is a great car! It is cool for a man to be able to say with conviction, "This mini-car is a very good car!

It's not about showing off and driving a luxury car.

It is not good to give up when you really want to drive the luxury car of your dreams. If you are a man, you have to dream big and work hard to get it! Even if people around you say, "You can't afford such an expensive car," don't give up and make it happen!

I can sympathize with such a message, but "buy an expensive car even if it makes you look good" is something... I am sure the author does not like or know that much about cars.

(iii) If you don't have a luxury car, you can't pick up women.

I mean, when did this happen? Certainly, there are many women who look at a man in a luxury car and think, "Wow! Many women think, "Wow! And although the lineup of Mercedes-Benz and BMW has increased, and new cars can be purchased for as little as 2 million yen, making them more affordable, the image of a "luxury car" still exists.

But please don't make fun of women.

We are not so stupid as to go along with a man just because he drives a luxury car.(Some people might be like that.)Nowadays, the number of dual-earner households is increasing, and more and more women are earning money.I am financially able to buy what I want on my own.Many women are independent.

These women know that "a man's worth cannot be judged solely by his possessions.

I believe that owning luxury items means that you have the ability to work and earn money. In other words.It's human nature.People love us, we love our people, we love our people, and we love our people.Strive to increase your value, andAlways flexible and changing.It means they are honest and eager to learn.That's why I'm getting more and more work, and as a result, I'm making more and more money.

A luxury car is only the result of that, rather it is the person's personality and values that should be looked at.

I drive a luxury car, that's awesome." I'm a luxury car guy, that's great!Wow that's amazing!Although they may say "I'm sorry," they may actually be looking at you calmly and dispassionately.

It was a catchy title, but...

."Why don't men who become top-notch buy light cars?The title "The car of my dreams" is interesting and catchy. In any case, I wish someone who has more love for cars, can judge cars objectively based on his/her knowledge of various cars, and can write about how his/her world is broadened by driving a car that he/she admires would write about it.

But that would not be the publisher's intention, so I wonder if authors sometimes cannot write what they want to write in order to publish books that sell. Whatever the case may be, I think it is important these days to have a firm basis for one's own judgment, while referring to what is available in the world.
