My Wife's Birthday and Yoshida Hideo's Words

What a time to encounter inspiring words! On the eve of his wife's birthday, and after recently giving a lecture at the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art, the author visited Tokyo's Advertising Museum, discovering a powerful message from Dentsu's legendary Hideo Yoshida.This post unpacks Yoshida's philosophy: "Business cannot exist without imagination and philosophy... Where the impossible becomes possible, new life emerges... There is no progress without adventure. Unconventional thinking beyond common sense is the path to victory."Dive into how these words ignite reflections on innovating in an eyeglass shop (from daily vision to AI-designed lenses), pursuing a personal "space business," dreaming of Mars by 2049, and the universal truth that technological progress often brings the unexpected. It’s a candid look at the necessity of "adventure," a personal call for more "attempts" and "unconventional thinking" in life and business, and a testament to finding profound inspiration on a special occasion.
