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.
Let us look at the so-called successful.
I believe many of those who are considered successful share a common trait.
Most of them, during high school, were absorbed in club activities or doing things typical of students. It seems that only in the latter half of university did they finally discover something they could be passionate about.
At first glance, this may appear to be a detour on the path to success — but perhaps, it is the most reliable one.
They build their basic academic skills, engage in pure and spirited discussions, and remain humble. And maybe, just maybe, it is only in those student years — before being intoxicated by a distorted sense of superiority — that one can truly learn these things.
When you follow the crowd, your potential becomes bound to their level.
An overly strong community may lead to its own weakness.
Where there is a group, a sense of belonging arises, and a quiet envy.
Choose your company wisely.
Through self-awareness and understanding others, the right way to belong emerges.
Is it better to run a small business and earn cash with relatively high certainty, or to pursue a large business, where the probability is lower, yet the potential gain is far greater?
The latter, in which one speaks of dreams while achieving growth, may function well—especially when combined with strategies that draw others in.
Yet the former, steadily pursued, may prove more valuable as experience.
In either case, one must not construct illusions, nor deceive oneself.
One must live with sincerity.
The world is unjust. Because most people live under control, the idea of becoming the one who leads is hard to grasp.
This is what I’ve come to feel after observing many people, especially students.
As I’ve written before, I aim to secure my own time. We must build teams better than ourselves, and create organizations that grow independently.
Is pain necessary for growth?
Lately, the moment I move, suffering follows.
Escape
Am I running away from the uncertainty of the unknown?
I must face it head-on, without fleeing, and rise above it.
The Sorrow of Family
To possess madness often means surpassing the common sense held by one’s family.
Recently, my family has told me that I have "changed."
She still believes in the child I once was and seems unable to accept the madness I have begun to embrace.
Is it the right decision to push her away?
This may be the most difficult decision of my life.
I believe pain never truly disappears.
By overcoming the pain of the present, I will be able to confront the pain of the future.
