Don’t imitate others.Soichiro Honda

These are words from Honda’s founder.
I believed that imitating others is easy, but the moment you do it, both the employees and the company start to degenerate.
There’s no doubt it was a personal admonition as an engineer.
It’s hard to never imitate, but even if it’s strict and difficult, I want to choose an original path.
Executing an idea is harder than coming up with one.Elon Musk

Words from Elon Musk, co-founder and CEO of SpaceX.
He taught himself programming at the age of 10 and, at 12, created a commercial software game called “Blaster”—a person who could truly be called a genius.
Not only this statement of his, but virtually all successful people emphasize the importance of taking action.
To be honest, I was scared… Let’s do what hasn’t been done. That’s our only option.Masahiro Hidaka

These are the words of the person who rooted the culture of outdoor festivals in Japan—the mastermind behind Fuji Rock.
They express the honest feelings one has when doing something that has never existed in Japan before.
What do you think? Doesn’t it make you feel relieved to know that even people who do big things are actually afraid? We’re all the same, aren’t we? Let’s take on challenges that have never been tried before!
The biggest key to achieving results is a sense of responsibility—not authority or power.Peter Drucker

These are the words of a management scholar, the so-called god of management who even inspired the term “Moshidora.” He argues that regardless of one’s position within a company, a personal sense of responsibility toward one’s work is the source of corporate strength.
Underlying this, we should not forget the fact that many corporate employees tend to rely on authority and power.
If at least once no one laughs at an idea you’ve put forward, you can’t really say you’re being original.Bill Gates

These are words left by Bill Gates during his time at Harvard University.
Back then, he was proposing programs with groundbreaking ideas—though still unfinished—to manufacturers, but they laughed and said, “There’s no such program,” because they were so original.
It’s encouraging to know that even someone called a genius like him was once laughed at.
A healthy disregard for the impossibleLarry Page

These are the words of Larry Page, a Google co-founder who also served as the company’s CEO.
The phrase means “Let’s ignore the very idea that something is impossible,” and it served as a slogan for Google as it took on the impossible.
If all you want is to make money, that’s one thing, but that’s not why I do music.Tatsuro Yamashita

I was invited to a dinner show, and this is why I declined.
Work may be for making money, but the reason we work might not be money.
Even if it’s not like music is for an artist, I think it’s fine to say we won’t do what we don’t want to do.
