I’m aiming for extraordinary success—and pure, unbridled spontaneity alone won’t get me there.
Those who rise to true greatness keep their eyes on the future and live each day with deliberate excellence.

Life is profoundly difficult.
What, after all, should be our purpose?
Around me, there are roughly two kinds of people.
First are those who want a “good-enough” life.
They run modest businesses at home, neither huge nor tiny, maybe cash out or do a small IPO, and thrive inside a comfortable, close-knit circle on this planet.
Second are those who want a life of great success.
They find ordinary victory dull, and strive—through words backed by real responsibility—to move the world forward. Such people live as if the entire Earth were their stage.
Which way should I go?
If I am to live only once, I want the grand triumph: a life so large that every human being comes to know my name.
That feeling must be dazzling—enough to make one faint with joy.
Successful entrepreneurs are not made by chance.
They are always deep thinkers, capable of applying their insights across domains to envision the right path to success.
And when intuition arises, they act — and in doing so, they change the world.
I live this moment to become that truth.
Lately I’ve been orbiting a tribe of bold founders. By day we chase audacious ventures; by night we drink, play, and together push the whole community higher.
I believe their bonds are deliberately unstable—yet it is inside that very volatility that extraordinary collaboration and growth ignite. The chaos is the catalyst.
Now, as I step in, fear walks beside me, but so does the hope that smashing through those shifting walls will temper and transform me.
Do what you truly believe is right.
Whether you make cash in your first chapter and change the world in your second,
or aim to change the world from the start—
what others think doesn’t matter.
Just follow what feels true to you.
When a surge builds both inside and out, we remake ourselves.
In the rush of explosive growth—relishing a speed of change we’ve never known—life shifts.
Today, those who act impulsively and selfishly under the guise of social good, without the consciousness necessary for society to exist, often call themselves social entrepreneurs.
Yet it is deep thought, calm action, and quiet beauty that truly change society.
I want to believe I have simply not yet met a true social entrepreneur.
I was once incomplete.
For a long time, I remained halfway.
I dabbled in psychological research, launched a US–Japan relations organization, developed mental health care apps, explored neuroscience, and worked on elderly mental health solutions.
Through various internships, I gathered fragmented experiences.
But I was scattered.
Unfocused.
Now, I have changed.
I have come to choose a path — strategic, coherent, and unwavering.
Founding early can be powerful. I’ve met 16-year-olds building consumer apps, 17-year-olds doing AI dev work. Starting young brings attention and growth. People will say it’s impressive.
But does it come with long-term vision?
I want to build something that lasts 50 years. For that, delaying a big launch—strategically—can be wise. First ventures, thoughtful jobs, journeys that spark deep growth: all of these can sharpen you more than diving in unprepared.
Big challenges require timing—and commitment.
Small ventures can start anytime.
But for the bold, the vast, the game-changing…
You need bold, vast, unwavering resolve.
Today, everyone wears a distinct persona.
Empty yet aggressive. Strategic yet impulsive. Thoughtful and composed. Cool but hollow.
In this age, investors and public figures dissect character with surgical precision.
To stand out, one must become unmistakably singular.
