"I want to live a full life"
Probably all of us wish to live that way.
From the age of 20, I wanted to found a company, and to lead
a life of ambition.
I decided that when I turned 30 I would work for myself.
Although I started out by joining a large company, I felt that
there was little that one person could do among so many others,


so I switched to working at a smaller company where I could acquire a broader range of experience.
Happily, the experience I gained helped me to found a company when I was 31.
My desire at the time was to live a full life;that ambition has not changed.
I would like people who can talk honestly about the future, people who have ambition and will work
unstintingly to bring it to fruition, people who want to live that kind of life, to join this company.

To the extent possible,
I would like to increase the number of people in this company who are able to act with the same values as I,
and I intend to support them in their attempts to live a full life.
