There is a "success equation" in Inamori's management philosophy, that is, "the result of life and work = way of thinking× enthusiasm× ability". Human "ability" is only one element of this, and it needs to be multiplied (rather than added) by the "way of thinking" and "enthusiasm" to arrive at the final result. In other words, acquired efforts can greatly open up and change lives. ——(From the prologue)

Catalogue of Kazuo Inamori's Philosophy of Life
● "As a human being, what is right?" ”
●The result of life and work = way of thinking× enthusiasm× ability.
● "Is it crying, or flying?" Instead of crying, spread your wings and fly. ”
● No matter how cheap things are, as long as they are not needed in front of you, you should not buy them.
Pay attention to misfortune, and misfortune will come to you; forget unhappiness, and misfortune will leave you. ”
If people want to be successful and happy, they must use the right thoughts to guide their behavior, and this is the case in Inamori's life.
Like ruthlessness and warmth, carefulness and boldness, a new cause cannot be achieved without two opposing qualities at the same time.
●I graduated from a local university and was lucky to find a job. I'm proud that I've been working very hard during my college years. I am somewhat proud to be convinced that I was hired with excellent results.
●Relying solely on Saigo Takamori's 'ambition' and 'sincerity' cannot be done well. Similarly, Okubo Ritsu's 'reasonableness' or 'logic' alone cannot grasp people's hearts and unite the team. From the two historical figures who achieved the Meiji Restoration, I realized that, like ruthlessness and warmth, carefulness and boldness, it is impossible to achieve a new cause without having two opposing qualities at the same time.
●In his management and life, Mr. Inamori has always adhered to the judgment benchmark of "what is right as a person" to judge everything, which stems from the simple words and deeds of parents, teachers and others. And this criterion of judgment became the origin and foundation of the entire altruistic philosophical system he later constructed. In his later business life(including family management), Mr. Inamori has always adhered to this philosophical belief and even faith, and regarded it as a source of his success and happiness.
