風邪対策

「風邪ってひかない方が良いよ・・」　「何で風邪ひくの？」などと、風邪の人に言っていた。

無茶苦茶生意気な言い方だけれど、それくらい自分は風邪にはかからないとの自信を持っていた。だって、２０代後半の時に風邪をひいて以来、風邪らしい風邪はひいたことが無く、元気そのもの。故に僕は風邪にはかからないとの絶対的自信を持っていた。

ところがところが、昨年末に風邪をひき、喉、セキ、鼻水とやばかった。熱こそ出なかったので未だしもであったが、治るのに２～３週間かかった。正直そうとうショックであった。

原因は？っと自分なりに考えたが、特にこれというものは無かった。そのまま時は過ぎ、そのショックから立ち直ったやさきの今朝、アレッ・・喉がいがらっぽい。おいおい、これまたっという感じ。特にどうこうは無いが、何となく一寸やばい感じ。

そこで考えた。そういえば天風先生は、「風邪にかかるのは冷えつけていないからだ。普段から出来るだけ薄着をし、冷えつけておればやたら風邪などにはかからない」とおっしゃっていた。それもあって、天風会体操は真冬でも短パンひとつに素足でやってきた。以前は、真冬でも毎朝水を被っていた。

ところが、１０数年前に血圧が高くなったため、朝の水浴びは止めにした。朝の天風会体操は、数年前に専属の道場が無くなり、裸はどうもとという事になり、今は軽装にはなるが普段着のままで行うようになった。

考えてみるに、どうもここに原因があるらしい。風呂上りの水浴びは今も毎日続けているが、そんなでは駄目らしい。やはり、キチッと冷えつけないと・・・。トホホ・・・である。

何でも基本過保護はダメ。

近年、医療は目覚しい発展を遂げ、医療機関は充実。国民皆保険もいきわたり、医療は至れり尽くせりの恵まれた環境になって来た。ところが其れに半比例して、病気と病人は増加の一途。医療費と介護で国は驚くばかりの借金地獄。

考えてみるに、これはどうも　冷えつけないからでは・・・。一事が万事・・・。

今日のくしゃみで、こんな事を考えさせられた。明日は多分大丈夫だと思うが？。

“You shouldn’t catch a cold…” “Why would I catch a cold? and so on,” he said to the person with a cold.

I was confident that I wouldn’t catch a cold, though it sounded rash and cheeky. Since I caught a cold when I was in my late 20s, I haven’t had a cold that looked like a cold, and I’m fine. Therefore, I had absolute confidence that I would never catch a cold.

However, at the end of last year, I caught a cold and had a bad throat, seki, and runny nose. It took two to three weeks to heal, but the fever was still there because it did not appear. To be honest, I was quite shocked.

What caused it? I thought to myself, but there was nothing in particular. Time passed as it was, and Yasaki, who had recovered from the shock, was thirsty this morning. Hey, hey, hey… I feel like I’m doing this again. There’s nothing special about it, but it’s a bit of a bad feeling.

So I thought. Come to think of it, Dr. Tianfeng said, “The reason you catch a cold is because you’re not getting cold. He said, “If you wear light clothes and keep yourself cold, you won’t catch a cold. That’s why I came to Tenpukai’s gymnastics in the middle of winter, wearing only shorts and bare feet. In the past, I used to be covered in water every morning, even in the middle of winter.

However, a dozen or so years ago, my blood pressure got so high that I stopped bathing in the morning. As for the morning gymnastics of the Tenpukai, there was no dedicated dojo a few years ago, and it was decided that the nakedness was not a problem, and now it has come to be performed in normal clothes though it is lightly dressed.

Now that I think about it, apparently there is a cause here. I still take a bath after taking a bath every day, but apparently it’s not enough. After all, you need to be cooled down properly… Toh-oh…

You can’t be basically overprotective of anything.

In recent years, medical care has made remarkable progress, and medical institutions have become well equipped. With the rise of universal health insurance, medical care has become a blessing in disguise. However, the number of diseases and sick people continues to increase in proportion to the number of people. The country is in an appalling debt hell with medical and nursing care costs.

Come to think of it, I think it’s because I can’t get cold… One thing’s for sure…

Today’s sneeze got me thinking about this. Tomorrow will probably be fine, right?

訃報

訃報って突然来るんだよなー。本当に突然・・・。

　昨日まで元気でピンピンしていた人が、今朝方亡くなった・・・などと云う連絡。ビックリというより、唖然として一瞬何がなんだか判らなくなるという感じ。

　それより何より、突然逝った本人が一番ビックリしていると思う。だって気がついたら、この世でなくあの世なんだもの・・・、そりゃービックリするよなー。

　特に冬季にこの様な連絡が多い。昨日、今日の冷え込みだと、特にそんなことが気になる。先週こんなことがあったばかりだから。

　それにしても人は死んだら何処へ行くのだろう。

　この世に生を受け、この世で方便を行うためにこの肉体を授かっているが、死ぬと肉体から離れるのは間違いない。肉体から離れると、無茶苦茶身軽になるから、結構好きなところに行けて、それはそれで、良いのかもしれない。

　などとフッと思ったりもする。

　私の師、中村天風哲人は、「死んでから先のことは死んでから考えろ。今は精一杯、明るく元気に溌剌として生きることを考えろ・・」という。それもその通りだけれど、凡人はついそんな事も考えてしまう。

　ただ師は、霊魂不滅を確りと悟っており、それを信念すると、「人の世の非業も　肉の呵責も　夢まぼろしの如くに消えうせて　無限至上なる歓天喜地の世界あらわれん　」と説いている。

Obituaries come suddenly, don’t they? It’s really sudden…

A person who had been fine and alert until yesterday passed away this morning… Rather than being surprised, I was stunned and felt like I couldn’t figure out what was going on for a moment.

More than anything else, I think the person who passed away suddenly is the most surprised. Because when you notice it, it’s not this world, but the other world… That’s a surprise, isn’t it?

We get a lot of this kind of communication, especially in the winter. I’m especially concerned about such things when it’s cold yesterday and today. I’ve only been through this last week.

Nevertheless, where do people go when they die?

He has been given this body to live in this world and to perform manners in this world, but when he dies, he definitely leaves the body. When I’m away from my body, I’m excessively light, so I can go wherever I want, and that’s probably a good thing.

Some people may think, “I’m not going to do this.

My teacher, Tetsujin Nakamura Tenpou, said, “Think about what happens after you die. For now, you should think about living with full of energy and cheerfulness. That’s true, too, but ordinary people can’t help but think about such things.

However, the master clearly understood the immortality of the spirit and soul, and if he believed in it, he said, “All the wrongs of the world and the scourges of the flesh will disappear as if they were dreams, and the world of infinite supremacy and joy will emerge.

調査録2018/01/12

バックグランドチェック、塀の外の懲りない面々、

　くどい様ですが、またまた履歴書詐称の話。

　過去２回、当ブログに登場した、詐欺師同然の見事な履歴書詐称をする人の話です。実はこの人の調査依頼が、また・また・またあったのです。

　このブログを時々覗いてくれているお方はもしかしたら記憶にあるかと思いますが、「東京の開成高校から東大法学部を卒業し、通産省にキャリア採用されると同時に、ハーバード大学大学院に国費留学し、法科大学院を修了して帰国。以後、一流企業を渡り歩き、現在は外務省の特別通訳をしている」という人のことです。

　この人の調査依頼が最初にあったのが５～６年前だったと思う。

　調査結果は学歴職歴、全て嘘で、実際は高卒で４０歳余の今も独身で親の脛をかじっている甘ちゃんであった。

　実は、この人物の調査依頼が、別の企業から２～３年前に再度あった。その時の履歴書も、やはり学歴は同じ東大からハーバード大学であった。職歴は一部違っていたが、最終の勤務先は実際に部長職で勤めていた。ところが、入社３ケ月頃からボロガ出はじめ、不審を持った上司がバックグランドチェックをしたところ、履歴が全くデタラメである事が発覚。ところが事は既に遅しで、本人は数百万円の横領を働いており、クビにしたと云うこと（調査結果）であった。

　この人物の調査依頼が、最近またまた有った。ところが今回は以前に詐称していた学歴や職歴とは全く違い、今回は、在阪の高校からアメリカのワシントン州立大学に学び、以後一流企業を２．３変わり、現在は経営コンサルタントをしているというものであった。

　同じ人物でありながら、履歴は全く違い、同じなのは氏名、生年月日、現住所だけ。

　全くもってであるが、世の中にはこんな人も居るのである。

　しかも、こうした人が大手を振って王道を歩けるのが今の日本である。実は、今回の調査でも、新たな最後の勤務先では部長職で採用されていた（３ケ月で解雇になったが）。

ここで私が云いたいのは、今の個人情報保護の流れと、厚労省が行う行政指導（採用時の身元調査はしてはならない）です。

　事実は小説より奇なりで、こうした履歴詐称を繰り返し、企業にキャリア採用され、横領などの不正行為を働きながら大手を振って生きていける、援助、保護をしているのが厚労省の指導であり、個人情報保護の流れの弊害があるという事です。

　バックグランドチェックを専門に行う弊社の調査員が苦労に苦労を重ねても、今の個人情報保護の壁を乗り越えて、履歴確認を行うのは中々ではないのが現状です。ましてや、面接やペーパー試験だけで、履歴詐称を見抜くのは至難の業でしょう。にも関わらず、行政も企業も第三者の履歴確認には協力しない（自分のところは何とかして確認してくれと云うが）。このような履歴書詐称を助長させるような社会風潮で良いのでしょうか・・・。個人情報保護法の目的を履き違えないで、運用面も確りと考えて頂きたいものだ。

　微力ではありますが、今年もこんな事をつぶやきながら、一隅を照らして行けたらと思っております。

I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m talking about resume fraud again.

It’s the story of a brilliant resume scammer who has appeared on this blog two times in the past. As a matter of fact, I was asked to investigate this person again, and again, and again.

As those of you who have been following this blog from time to time may remember, he graduated from Kaisei High School in Tokyo with a degree in law from the University of Tokyo and was hired by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) for his career, while at the same time studying at Harvard University on a government-sponsored scholarship and completing law school before returning to Japan. Since then, he has moved through top-tier companies and is now a special interpreter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I think it was five or six years ago when I first got the request to investigate this person.

The results of the survey were all lies about his education and work history, and in fact, he was a high school graduate who is still single at the age of 40 and is still chewing on his parents’ shins.

In fact, another company had asked me to investigate this person again a couple of years ago. My resume at that time also had the same educational background from the University of Tokyo to Harvard University. My work history was partly different, but my last place of employment was actually in a department head position. However, around three months after joining the company, he began to get raggedy, and when his suspicious boss did a background check, he found out that his resume was completely untrue. However, it was already too late, he had embezzled several millions of yen and had been fired (according to the results of the investigation).

I’ve been asked to investigate this person again recently. This time, however, it was completely different from the academic and work history that he had previously misrepresented; this time, he said that he had studied at Washington State University in the U.S. from a high school in Osaka, and had since changed a couple of top-tier companies and was now a management consultant.

It is the same person, but the history is completely different, only the name, date of birth and current address are the same.

It’s a shame, but there are people like this in the world.

What’s more, these people are able to take the royal road in today’s Japan. As a matter of fact, even in this investigation, at the new and last place of employment, he was employed in the position of department manager (although he was laid off after three months).

What I’m talking about here is the current flow of personal information protection and administrative guidance from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (no background checks at the time of hiring).

The facts are stranger than fiction, and it is the guidance of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare that these people who repeatedly falsify their histories, get hired by companies, embezzle and other malfeasance, and make a living at the top of their game, which is the harm of the flow of personal information protection.

Even though our investigators, who specialize in background checks, have gone through a lot of hard work, it’s still not easy to overcome the current barrier of protecting personal information and perform a history check. In fact, it would be very difficult to spot a fraudulent resume based on interviews and paper exams alone. In spite of this, neither the government nor the company is willing to cooperate with a third party to check the history of the company (although I am told that my company has to check it somehow). Is it a social trend that encourages this kind of resume fraud? It is important that the purpose of the Act on the Protection of Personal Information is not misunderstood, and the operation of the Act should be carefully considered.

Although it’s only a little, I would like to light up a corner of the world by tweeting such things this year.

年賀

　新年明けましておめでとうございます。

　拙いブログですが、今年も週一を目標に更新に努めようと思っています。お付き合いの程、伏してお願い申し上げます。

　このブログに目を通して頂いた貴方、そう、あなただけが頼りなんです。だって貴方以外に見てくれる奇特な人など居ないのですから・・・。

　今年の元旦は、大阪では綺麗な初日の出が拝めたみたいですね・・？。というのが、僕は大晦日１２時過ぎまで起きて居たという事もあって、ゆっくりとしたお目覚めでしたので、初日の出を拝むことは出来なかった。ところが、年始の行事として毎年元日の午前中は、菩提寺（地蔵寺、真言宗）にお参りし、ご住職の説教を聴くことにしており、其の席で、ご住職が「今日は綺麗な初日の出が見られましたね・・・」との挨拶で説教が始まったため、アーそうだったんだ・・と知らされた。

　その初日の出のごとく、今年の経済界は元気が良さそう・・。昨日の大発会では１日で７００円強（日経平均）の上げで始まり、今日も値上がりしている。ダウ平均も上げており、昨年とは少し違う。株式市場は実体経済を反映しているとは必ずしも云えないが、株式市場が賑わえば、実体経済に何らかの影響を与えることは間違いない。本当は実体経済を反映して株式市場が・・と云うのがまともだと思うが、今の金融市場は、そうでは無さそう。ただ何れにしても、元気が良いのはいいことだ。

　話は変わるが、昨日、交野カントリークラブの新年杯ゴルフコンペに参加。受付前で支配人が元気よく、「おめでとうございます、本年も宜しく　！」と迎えてくれた。こちらも元気よく挨拶を返し、受付で名前を書くと、綺麗なカウンター嬢が、「松谷さん、今年からゴルフ場利用税が免除になりますので、この書類をお書き下さい・・・」。横で聞いていた支配人が、「嬉しいやら、悲しいやら・・・」とちゃかす。アッそうか、７０歳か？。ほんと、嬉しくもあり、悲しくもあり、トボトボとロッカー室へ・・・。

　昨年の平均スコアーは86.7（４３ラウンド）。歳にしてはマーマーと思うが、まだまだ伸びしろは十分にある、と思っており、ラウンド毎に反省しきり。特にホームコースとしている交野での成績が悪く、昨日も９２をたたき、あの時なんであんな・・と反省しきりのスタートであったが、年初の株価のように、僕も今年は上昇気流に確りと乗ることにします。

　本年も宜しくお願い致します。

我が家の門松。立派でしょう・・・。実はこれは、娘のダンナのお父さんが、わざに岡山から送ってくれたものです。３本の竹が大口を空けて笑っているのが、何より素晴らしい。

今年年賀状に初デビューした我が家の長男、廣太郎（平成２３年１月３日生、ポメ牡７歳）。

ワンダフル、ご指導ご鞭撻の程よろしくお願いします。

Happy New Year to you!

I’m not very good at blogging, but I’m going to try to update this blog once a week. We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation.

If you’ve been reading this blog, then yes, you’re the only one I can count on. Because there is no one else who can see it but you….

It seems that we could see a beautiful first day sunrise in Osaka on New Year’s Day this year…? But since I stayed up until after 12 o’clock on New Year’s Eve, I couldn’t see the first sunrise because I woke up slowly. However, as a New Year’s Day event, I visit a Bodhi temple (Jizoji or Shingon sect) in the morning of New Year’s Day every year and listen to the sermon of the priest. At the temple, the priest started his sermon by saying, “The first sunrise of the first day was beautiful today, wasn’t it?

Just like the first sunrise, the economic world this year seems to be in good spirits… Yesterday’s big open started with the Nikkei 225 gaining just over 700 yen in one day, and today it’s up again. The Dow average is also up, which is a bit different from last year. The stock market does not necessarily reflect the real economy, but when the stock market is bustling, it definitely has some impact on the real economy. It would be decent to say that the stock market reflects the real economy, but the current financial market does not seem to do so. But in any case, it’s good to be in good spirits.

By the way, I participated in the New Year’s Cup Golf Competition at the Katano Country Club yesterday. In front of the reception, the manager said cheerfully, “Congratulations and good luck this year! He was greeted with a As I wrote my name at the reception desk, the beautiful lady behind the counter said, “Mr. Matsutani, please fill out this document as the golf course tax will be exempted from this year… The manager, who was listening at the side, teased, “It’s both happy and sad… Oh, yeah? You’re 70? I was both happy and sad, and I went to the locker room in a huff…

His average score last year was 86.7 (43 rounds). I think he’s a Marmer for his age, but I think he still has plenty of room to grow, and I’ve been reflecting on him every round. In particular, the result in the korino, which is the home course, was bad, and it hit 92 yesterday, and it was the start of only reflection at that time, but I will definitely ride the upward trend this year like the stock price at the beginning of the year.

We look forward to seeing you again this year.

My family’s gatematsu. Isn’t it splendid…? The best part is that the three bamboos are smiling with their mouths wide open, and this is the one my daughter’s husband’s father sent me from Okayama.

Our eldest son, Kotaro (born on January 3, 2011, Pome 7 years old) made his debut in this year’s New Year’s card.

Wonderful, thank you very much for your guidance and encouragement.

探偵のぼやき2017/12/28

個人の「社会信用度」評価

私は、「文藝春秋」の愛読者で、早や読み始めて半世紀を越えてしまった。ただ、若い頃は結構興味深く、発売日が楽しみであったが、何故か近年はそうでもない。歳とともに徐々に好奇心が薄れ、感性も鈍り、興味深く本を読むことが劣ってきた為かもしれない。ただ今月号（２０１８年１月号）は久しぶりに興味深く読ませていただいた。中でも、「新世界地政学」（船橋洋一）欄に、“エッそうなんだ”と、軽いカルチャーショックを覚えた。

（その記事の抜粋）

「中国では、個人の『社会信用度』を評価するビジネスが急成長している。レンタル自転車の返却時間に間に会わなかったり、コンピュータゲームにはまったり、ポルノを見たり、飲酒運転をしたり、借金を踏み倒したりすると、社会信用度が減点と成る。全体として評価が低いと、自転車のレンタル契約が拒否され、海外旅行の許可が降りなくなり、就職や転職、さらには結婚にもマイナスになる。アリババ系（中国のトップ企業）の芝麻信用はじめ数社がこの分野に進出している。学歴、職歴、マイカー・住宅・資産の保有状況、過去の支払い履行実績、消費行動などの領域で信用を点数化、信用度を３５０～９５０点の範囲で格付けし、本人にも公開する。そこでの信用度が上がるとプラスになるため、積極的にこれらの領域の情報を入力する人が既に数億人に達しているという。中国共産党もこれを奨励している。信用の“見える化”をテコに品行方正な人民をつくり、体制安定に役立てたいからである。・・・・」との記事。

皆さんはこの記事を見てどう感じるでしょうか？。私は正直驚いた。余りにもの日本との違いに！。

日本の現状を敢えて記す事も無いと思うが、何でもかんでも個人情報。個人情報は第三者には漏らしてはダメ、プライバシーは勿論のこと、氏名、住所、経歴は勿論、本人が提出した履歴の確認さえままならない。それ故、求職者のこと、結婚相手のこと、取引相手のこと等々、知りたいことの全てがシャットアウトされ、“見える化”などはもっての他。そうした現状を承知してか、経歴詐称は蔓延し、詐欺も横行（詐欺師は、自分の経歴を誤魔化す事から始める）。マスコミで騒がれない以上、大体のことは隠し通せる社会が構築されつつある。それゆえか、自分の行いに責任を持たず、過去は全て隠せるものと思う面々が横行している。

情けないの一語である、が、今の日本は「個人情報保護」一色で、何のための保護かは考えもせず、個人情報は漏らしては成らないの一点張りで、利己主義が横行してしまっている。

江戸時代の五人組制度を是認するわけではないが、ある程度の「見える化」は必要で、世間体なども自己陶冶の一助になると考えるのは私だけでは無かろう・・。ただ、本音を言えば、唇寒しで、人権、プライバシー、個人情報を口にすれば、時代の先端を行く文化人と思われているようである。

時代に逆らう様ではあるが、調査業界に身をおくものが痛切に感じる、社会への提言である。

I’ve been a fan of Bungeishunju for over half a century now. However, when I was younger, it was quite interesting and I was looking forward to the release date, but for some reason, not so much in recent years. As I got older, my curiosity gradually waned, my sensibility became dull, and my ability to read books with interest became inferior. However, I read this month’s issue (January 2018) with great interest for the first time in a long time. In particular, I was mildly shocked by the “New World Geopolitics” column by Funabashi Yoichi, who said, “Really?

(An excerpt from that article.)

In China, the business of assessing an individual’s ‘social credibility’ is growing rapidly. Failing to meet your rental bike return time, getting hooked on computer games, watching pornography, driving drunk, or tripping over debts will result in a reduction in your social credit score. A low overall rating will result in being denied a bike rental contract, not being granted permission to travel abroad, and a negative impact on employment, job change, and even marriage. Several companies, including Alibaba’s (China’s top company) Zhihma Credit, are moving into this field. Credit is scored in such areas as education, work history, ownership of cars, houses and assets, past payment performance and consumption behavior, and the credit score is graded on a scale of 350 to 950, which is open to the public. It says that there are already hundreds of millions of people who actively enter information in these areas because their credit score there is a plus. The Chinese Communist Party is also encouraging this. This is because they want to use the “visualization” of trust as a tool to create a well-behaved people and help stabilize the system. …” and the article.

How do you feel when you see this article? I was honestly surprised. The difference with Japan is too much!

I don’t think I dare to describe the current situation in Japan, but anything and everything is personal information. Personal information should not be divulged to a third party, not to mention privacy, name, address, background, and even the history submitted by the person cannot be checked. Therefore, everything you want to know about the job seeker, the person you’re marrying, the person you’re doing business with, etc., is shut out, and “visualization” is unnecessary. Knowing this, career fraud is rampant and fraud is rampant (fraudsters start by misrepresenting their career). A society is being built in which most things can be concealed as long as they are not fussed about in the media. Perhaps that’s why some people don’t take responsibility for their own actions and think that they can hide everything in the past.

It’s shameful, but now Japan is all about “personal information protection” and selfishness is running rampant with the single-minded attitude that personal information must not be leaked without thinking about the purpose of protection.

I don’t approve of the five-person group system of the Edo period, but I think I’m not the only one who thinks that a certain amount of “visualization” is necessary, and that the public image can help self-indulgence. However, to tell you the truth, it seems that if you are cold-hearted and talk about human rights, privacy, and personal information, you are considered to be a cultured person who is ahead of his time.

Although it seems to go against the times, it is a proposal to society that those who are in the research industry feel keenly.
