Mentors
Tokugawa Ieyasu, a warlord in the period of Warring States (the beginning 1600s) of Japan, who terminated the long-lasting war time and begot the peaceful era that lasted for more than 200 years.
I learned a lot from his ability to take actions, perseverance, and creativity for the future.
Another mentor is myself. I experienced a lot of failures. I learned many things from my failures, by reviewing them objectively.
Quotes
“Positive Thinking and Challenging Action,” which is not a quote, but my personal motto. It means “think positively” and “accept the challenge of taking action.”
Even when facing difficulties, we must think positively and search diligently for solutions to our problems, believing that nothing is unsolvable, if we make our best efforts using our wisdom.
Also, our guideline for action, as we take some risks, must be to confront challenges and move onward toward our objectives at all times.
Internally, I have shortened this to PTCA. Having the PTCA guidelines in our minds, I want to transform the employees of the global Toyobo Group into a group of people who are boldly accepting the challenges to grow.
