“If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.”

I have always believed that there is no point in having regrets as you learn far more from mistakes than successes. Embrace a mistake and learn from it; don’t regret them.

If you’re looking to become an entrepreneur then don’t waste your time going to university or business school – just get on and do it.

Don’t think what’s the cheapest way to do it or what’s the fastest way to do it. Think what’s the most amazing way to do it.

Your employees are your company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen-so long as their needs are being met.

If you don’t have time for the small things, you won’t have time for the big things.

Just start. You will learn so many lessons just by doing.

If you look after your staff, they’ll look after your customers. It’s that simple.

One key to entrepreneurial success is to get a great group of people around you who believe in your idea.

Every great movement in the world starts with a tiny group of people who simply refuse to accept a situation.

The key is to set realistic customer expectations, and then not to just meet them, but to exceed them – preferably in unexpected and helpful ways.

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!

We stand in solidarity against racism and for racial justice.

Launching a business is essentially an adventure in problem-solving.

There is no point in going into a business unless you can make a radical difference in other people’s lives.

You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.

If family or friends are unwell or ill – it’s perhaps the only thing that really can make one feel vulnerable.

Low aim, not failure, is the crime.

My aim is to spread more smiles than tears.

We aim to achieve general progress in relations between North Korea and Japan.

The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.

Don’t focus on what you think you deserve. Take aim at what you are willing to earn.

Japan should aim at is a society in which the efforts of people are rewarded.

To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful.

My motto is: Always get even. When somebody screws you, screw them back in spades.
