Q.46-50)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

We might argue that human beings are naturally inclined to follow rituals that we engage in. In modern Japan, religious rituals are unusually ingrained in daily life and business practices. Japan’s main religions – Confucianism, Buddhism and Shintoism – are all religions in which ritual is more important than absolute rules. In doing business in Japan, procedure, etiquette and style of doing something are more important than the end results. However, it is an undeniable fact that it is much easier to get into a “ritual workplace” than to be in a workplace with constant stress trying to achieve the goals set by your boss.

Rituals give us clear rules and goals that help us enter a state of flow. When we have only one big goal, we can feel immersed or overwhelmed; rituals help us get a process, sub-steps on our way to achieving the goal. When it comes to achieving a big goal, try breaking the goal down into parts and then working on achieving each part. Use your daily rituals as a tool to enter a state of flow by focusing on enjoying your daily rituals.

Q.46) How do religious rituals influence business practices in modern Japan?

Correct Answer: 1

Q.49) How do religious rituals help us when it comes to achieving a big goal?
