Prepare pessimistically, act optimistically.Kazuo Inamori

Let me introduce a famous quote left by Kazuo Inamori: “Prepare pessimistically, act optimistically.” Kazuo Inamori was a Japanese entrepreneur and engineer.

He founded Kyocera and Daini Denden, which is now KDDI, and served as chairman of the Inamori Foundation, a public-interest incorporated foundation.

He was also honorary chairman of Japan Airlines.

In the planning stage, with a strong will that says, “No matter what, we must accomplish this,” one should reexamine the plan with a pessimistic eye; then, in the execution stage, with the confidence that “We can definitely do it,” one should carry it out optimistically—brightly and with dignity.

Doesn’t this conviction also apply to disaster preparedness?

In this world, there is a unique path that no one but you can walk.Friedrich Nietzsche

There is only one path in the world—your own | The teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche #Nietzsche #LifePath #SelfRealization

Friedrich Nietzsche, a classical philologist known as a leading thinker of existentialism, once said: “In the world there is only one path that no one but you can walk.” This famous quote is followed by: “Do not ask where that path will lead; just press forward.” Many people rejoice and despair by comparing themselves to masters, but if it is a path that only you can walk, perhaps there is no better or worse.

It is a message that teaches the importance of living true to yourself and helps you strive properly, day by day.
