Seize an opportunity

معنی

To make good use of a favorable situation.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The concept of 'Ikasu' is linked to 'Mottainai'. Wasting an opportunity is seen as a lack of respect for the effort others made to provide it. In 'Kaizen' (continuous improvement), employees are encouraged to '{経験|けいけん}を{生|い}かす' by turning every small mistake into a process improvement. Japanese cuisine (Washoku) is defined by '{素材|そざい}の{味|あじ}を{生|い}かす'—bringing out the natural flavor of ingredients rather than masking them with heavy sauces. While Western culture often emphasizes 'making' your own luck, Japanese culture often emphasizes 'utilizing' the luck or opportunities that come your way.
