Tomorrow is All Souls day. As we honor the dead tomorrow, we are reminded how we should live.
Several years ago, I interviewed a scholar whom we sent to a state U on what he would be doing afterwards. He said, he would raise a family, go to church on Sunday and pay his taxes (no need his company accountant would have done this for him) I was utterly disappointed and devastated after spending 6 figures on his free education. All the while I thought that he had leadership, and that he would pay his good fortune forward, ie help other people reap the same benefits as he did.
Steve Jobs said he must view life differently. Avoid being smug Make a dent in the Universe.
I would facilitate a corporate planning for a family owned food company two weeks from now. My biggest apprehension is that for the sake of family unity, the top management would not rock the boat nor go against the wishes of the President (the parents) Or the level of risk taking would be limited. I learned that the VP before shot down two new products. The result of this corporate planning can be worthless too. Steve Jobs was known to have high level of risk taking That is why he failed several times too!

Another one from NHK.
NHK today featured one of the best prosthetic maker in Japan, Fumio Usui
His goal has been three fold with those whom he makes prosthesis for: 1. to walk 2. for comfort
and 3 to make them look good. Number 1 is easy but 2 and 3 had been formidable tasks
So for making the patient feel comfortable, it has been agonizing; sometimes he feels like giving up but that is not possible for him to give up on his word. So he has to be patient and try and try again until he gets it right again For a certain client Watanabe, he could get the prosthesis right and says he is only there 65%. She also wants to walk with high heels.
He is 61 and has made 400 prosthesis for Japanese who have lost their legs. For him it is a passion. when he goes home he looks at how people walk, and wonders how he can make other people walk,
Athletes who want to compete in paralympics seek his help. He is considered the best in Japan and the world because of his his passion and work ethic
