Why do the Japanese people have such big egos? Why don't they just learn how to show their wesknesses? That they cannot achieve whatever they were meant to do because they don't know how to do it? Why don't they admit some performance weaknesses at least? Not everyone is capable of everything, workwise, but why not seek help when you don't manage? Why drop the bombshall a few minutes before the deadline to say you haven't done anything because you didn't know how to do it, but had too big an ego to ask for help? One really wonders how this country made it.
