What does it mean, to be subject to physical limitations? In the light of invincible thinking, it simply means that there are limits to the sphere of your activities, so it is important to use wisdom. When you come up against limitations at work, for example, first consider whether there is some part of your job that you do not have to do yourself. Can someone else do part of it for you? This is one approach. Another is to train others to do particular tasks for you. It is quite usual to have other people take over the parts of a job that you cannot do yourself, and in doing this facilitating the overall development of the whole.
This was the way Konosuke Matsushita (1894-1989), the prominent Japanese entrepreneur who founded Panasonic, worked. He did not enjoy good health and because he was not capable of doing everything himself, he had no alternative but to entrust some of the work to others. As a result, back in the early 1930s he implemented a divisional system, an autonomous management system, for the first time in the world. This system, where the company is divided up into a number of divisions and each corporate division has its own administration, is quite often studied in business administration today. In this way, by delegating responsibility to the manager of each division, even large corporations run smoothly.
