自分で考える
To think of things by yourself

経営に行き詰まると、安易に人に問う経営者がたくさんおられます。それも中小企業者が、大企業に聞くのならまだわかりますが、大企業が、成功したという中小企業の風聞を聞いて、その方法を聞きに行くとすれば、そういう心構えこそが、経営がうまくいかなくなる理由なのです。
There are many people who easily ask for others when their businesses are at standstill. If a business operator of small or mid-sized company goes ask for a big-business operator, it would be reasonable and understandable at least. But in some cases, a business operator of big firm goes to an operator of small or mid-sized company that has become famous for its success. But in my opinion, it is this kind of attitude of business operators that is the cause of problem their businesses are not going well.
