Into the book
Human behavior begins with the thought of wanting to do something.
People may think it's nothing, but nothing is as important as the thoughts we hold in our minds.
Don't think about anything else.
Focus your thoughts on one point: 'I want to do this,' and think about that consistently.
With a noble and strong mind, with a pure and beautiful heart, continue to think without wavering.
If you do that, success will follow naturally.
--- p.29
What I want to emphasize to you is that cultivating your humanity is just as important as acquiring knowledge.
A great person is one who has integrity, truthfulness, and humility.
I think you should strive to develop these wonderful human qualities.
If you work hard with desire as your driving force, you will certainly succeed.
However, if people are blinded by their own desires and only rush forward to achieve success, not only their lives but also the planet itself, where such people live, will be in danger.
What is important for modern people is never to be greedy.
In other words, it is an attitude of showing mercy to all living creatures living together on Earth, cherishing everything, and being grateful for what we have now.
To achieve this, knowing what is enough is an important mindset.
--- p.73
The philosophy that made Kyocera and Daini Denden successful was not difficult.
It is a very simple and modest philosophy that judges based on what is right or wrong as a human being.
In other words, you need to reflect on whether you have abandoned justice, sincerity, and courage, whether you have lost humility, and whether you approach everything with a heart of philanthropy, and then put this into practice.
I think it's enough if I can live without being ashamed as a human being.
If you place these virtues on the axis of your heart and maintain them no matter what obstacles or difficulties you face, you will surely succeed.
--- p.138
There are only 24 hours in a day.
I'm not conscious of what I'm going to do from what time to what time.
However, I intend to finish what I have to do today today.
I live by the principle of not putting off until tomorrow what must be done today.
--- p.156
When I say, “Please try harder,” I often see people respond with, “I’m trying.”
Everyone is expressing their subjective opinions, but effort is not something that can be judged subjectively.
Objectively speaking, what matters is whether you are working hard enough to not lose to anyone.
Objectively speaking, you should be putting in a real effort, so much so that anyone who sees you would think, "No one can beat that person in effort."

Kazuo Inamori's Life Management Guide: Essential for Survival
In an age where easy success is considered a virtue and the value of hard work is increasingly diminished, we encounter Kazuo Inamori's life philosophy that will remind us of the true value of life.
"Hearts Gather to Become Destiny" is a book that sheds new light on the meaning of life and the power of effort, based on the author's experience and insight accumulated over 60 years in the business field.
Kazuo Inamori urges young people and young leaders who dream of a bright future while living in a fiercely competitive present to cultivate a pure and upright mindset and a selfless spirit that cares for others.
This is the timeless secret to success from a master of management who built a golden tower of management with only the will and ideas in his heart, even if his pockets were empty.
Most things that are precious are not achieved overnight.
It may take some time, but if anyone holds a pure and beautiful thought in their heart and puts in the effort, it will definitely come true.
Please don't give up and keep trying.
I hope you all have a wonderful life.
_'What I want to tell you now'
“Hearts Gather to Become Destiny” is a book that began at a symposium held at the Inamori Academy of Kagoshima University in 2016.
College, graduate, and international students gathered at the author's alma mater to have a deep conversation with Kazuo Inamori about life, work, and career.
Just as young people stand before a giant who experienced life 60 years earlier and wrote a management legend, readers of this book can experience Kazuo Inamori's profound insights with a vivid sense of presence.
In this book, Kazuo Inamori earnestly conveys to readers the great power of the 'thoughts' held in one's heart and the strong conviction to achieve one's goals.
The author has now passed away, but his vivid voice still resonates deeply with all 'professionals'.
“From the simple thought of ‘I want to achieve something’
“It’s just the beginning”
"A Gathering of Hearts Becomes Destiny" revisits the purpose and meaning of life, explains how to pioneer and manage one's own path, and how to establish a work philosophy by changing one's way of thinking.
The message that runs through this book is that the key factor that determines one's life is 'the meaning one holds in one's heart.'
The author shares his life's story of how he was able to found Kyocera and JAL based on pure thoughts and altruism.
Furthermore, based on the author's insights and analysis of human history as a whole, he discusses how to control desires and the mind, and set life goals with a considerate heart in the fields of industry and management.
Next, we will look at the efforts, humility, reflection, gratitude, and healthy mindset that are essential to living a fruitful life.
Furthermore, it discusses how to establish your own work philosophy by emphasizing the harmony of mindset, passion, and ability.
In these perilous times, fraught with low growth and uncertainty, Kazuo Inamori's philosophy, proven through his life over many years, will transcend time and generation and remain a timeless truth for all.
