I love strawberry cream, but for some reason fish love worms. So when I go fishing, I don’t think about what I like—I think about what the fish like.Dale Carnegie

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 believe what he wanted to convey with this remark is “put yourself in the other person’s shoes,” which is surprisingly easy to forget.
This perspective is especially important in business, where we often have to develop demand.
There is no such thing as failure in this world.Kazuo Inamori

After these words comes: “As long as you are challenging yourself, there is no failure.
Failure is when you give up.” The philosophy of Kyocera’s founder is worth listening to and, above all, inspiring.
When deciding what to do, we should also consider whether we can keep at it without giving up.
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.
Music is trash to some people and gold to others—and that’s perfectly fine.Van Halen
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.
Motivation is something that cannot be produced through orders or instructions.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 easy for executives and managers to get angry at their subordinates, but that does not lead to motivation.
It is necessary to think from the same point of view.
It’s not enough for a company to be loved. It must carry the fear that comes with being respected.Keita Goto

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?

Because I’m an amateur, I can make a leap forward.Momofuku Ando

The founder of Nissin Foods advanced into new businesses with this spirit.
Instant ramen, and the cup noodles that evolved from it, were the first products of their kind in the world.
If they had been seasoned experts in that field, they might never have conceived the idea of creating such products.
