The VFX Artist's Guide 5 Lessons from a Japanese Bus Driver's Pension Predicament

As visual effects professionals, we understand the importance of collaboration, attention to detail, and accountability in our daily work. A recent news story about a Japanese bus driver who lost his $84,000 pension after being fired for stealing $7 from passengers' fares serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of poor decision-making.

Lesson 1 Accountability is Key

In today's fast-paced VFX environment, it's easy to get caught up in meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality results.

Key Takeaway Consider the potential consequences of your actions before making a decision, and always prioritize accountability and integrity.

Lesson 5 Learning from Mistakes

Finally, it's essential to learn from our mistakes and use them as opportunities for growth. The Japanese bus driver's story is a prime example of this principle in action.

Key Takeaway Don't be afraid to admit your mistakes and take steps to correct them. Use these experiences as chances to improve and move forward.
