It was spoken by the founder of Facebook.

In this era of low growth, the struggle to raise funds is so severe that even ideas seem to be dwindling.

Yet isn’t it precisely the refusal to grow dull in poverty that embodies the spirit of pioneering new frontiers? This could be called the very essence of idea-first thinking that characterizes the age of soft power.

Acting that looks like it’s not actingTeruyuki Kagawa

I would answer this in a conversation with the comedian Naomi Fujiyama: how about rephrasing it as “work that looks like you’re not working”? It’s a given to face your work with full commitment, but if you reach the point where people around you don’t sense it, that means giving your all has become natural.

That’s the state I aspire to.

These are the words of Dale Carnegie, a business lecturer who published the global bestseller “How to Win Friends and Influence People” in 1937.

I don’t like people who look like they’re having fun at work.Lily Franky

In a conversation with actress Rie Miyazawa, I spoke a bit more forcefully.

I went on, “You should struggle and writhe more.” Creative work is a solitary job, often unseen by others, and I suppose there is a lot of suffering that goes unnoticed.

Still, I feel that even if it isn’t creative work, it’s okay to show the suffering that comes with one’s job.

If you try to win a good impression from everyone, won’t you end up making something that leaves little impression at all? I think it’s fine for there to be work that becomes a wonderful gift only for certain people.

Work like music or art might be the kind that gives profound emotion to a small number of people.

[Words That Pierce the Heart_056] [Carlos Ghosn]

These are the words of Carlos Ghosn, chairman and CEO of the French automaker Renault and also well known as the chairman of Nissan.

It is necessary to think from the same point of view.

12 Notable Quotes by Keita Gotō, the De Facto Founder of Tokyu Corporation

This is the founder of the Tokyu Group’s philosophy on business.

What stands out, after all, is the “fear of being respected,” isn’t it? Once a company reaches the point where it is respected by society, it can no longer afford to make careless mistakes.

Is the message to keep moving forward while always anticipating both the effort required to reach that level and the pressure that comes once you get there?
