What's 'to take one's proper station' in japanese?


It was quoted in _The Chrysanthemum and the Sword_ and appears to be a
japanese idiom.




応分の場を占める （おうぶんのばをしめる） This is the title of the third chapter I found through a
google search. It translates more literally to "Occupy the appropriate area"
more or less.

But, it's slightly different in the link the person posted above, so I'm not
sure which is the original.
