①【Philosophy of Action】Bulldoze forward with full force

Advance with everything—failures and successes included
Charge ahead toward the mountain peak in the shortest line, even if you slam into trees along the way. Every obstacle, every detour is part of the learning.
In your youth, face walls head-on
By taking on challenges directly instead of avoiding them, you build a strong foundation for your 30s and 40s. Efficiency hacks and shortcuts won’t give you real strength.

②【Organizational Management】On-the-Ground Leadership and Flat Hierarchy Where Uprising Is Welcome

Management is the execution of a well-designed worldview
Each department brings its input to the table, and the leader finalizes decisions with feedback. Data and unmet goals are regularly reviewed with the corporate planning team.
Reassign or replace underperformers—uprisings allowed
If someone’s not delivering, they’re promptly reassigned or let go. If they can’t explain why, resignation is also an option. If you don’t want to be overtaken, put in the effort—clear and simple.
The reality of leadership commitment
The CEO is the only one thinking 100% about the company. Executives, maybe 50%. Employees? Naturally prioritize their own interests. Accept this as reality.

③【Talent Development】Create a Culture Where Serious Discipline Still Exists in a "Too-Soft" Era "

Even high school interns get strict feedback
Even contractors are taught to follow business rules like meeting deadlines. Time discipline is drilled down precisely—“by midnight” won’t cut it; it’s “by 5:59 PM.”
Be prepared to raise young people who've never been scolded
No vague expectations—be direct about behaviors and responsibilities. True development comes from applying pressure for growth.
Strict with the basics: greetings, timecards, and accountability
Implement a system where failing to meet basic standards results in point deductions. It’s about nurturing people who keep their promises.

④【Business Perspective】Identify Markets by Solving Real Social Problems

List out social problems → clarify your company’s domain
Map out societal issues and clarify which ones your company addresses. This clarity drives focus and alignment.
The power to communicate is where value is created
Even the most valuable product or idea means nothing if it’s not understood. Learn from cases like Dubai real estate—the key is being the bridge for information.
A sense of purpose fuels employee motivation
Strong companies clearly define how they serve the world. It’s not just about profit—it’s about knowing what role you truly play.

⑤【Core Message】Take Risks. Step Up to the Plate. Swing.

Act first—only failure teaches you
Don’t wait to think before acting—think as you move. Whether it’s a side hustle or passion project, just start. That’s the first step.
The most painful risk—money—is what ignites commitment
When the risk stings a little, you get serious. Real commitment comes from experience, not workshops.
You can’t hit a home run if you don’t swing
Step up again and again. The more swings you take, the closer you get to success. Nothing happens if you don’t swing the bat.

Yesterday I was in Takamatsu!

Isamu Noguchi near the airport.

Obviously, it had to be udon—right away!
Merikenya.
It’s actually really good!
It doesn’t usually show up in the rankings,
but it definitely brings joy to the people of Sanuki.
