Japanese universities have a chair system that is a fixed hierarchy. This has its merits when trying to work as a laboratory on one theme. But if you want to do original work you must start young, and young people are limited by the chair system. Even if students cannot become assistant professors at an early age they should be encouraged to do original work....Industry is more likely to put its research effort into its daily business. It is very difficult for it to become involved in pure chemistry. There is a need to encourage long-range research, even if we don't know its goal and if its application is unknown.

The typical industry approach is [retailers] to treat vendors like the enemy... If vendors can't make a profit then they don't have money to invest in research and development, which in turn means that the products they bring to the market will be less inspiring to customers, which in turn detriments the retailer's business because customers aren't inspired to buy. People want to cut costs and negotiate aggressively because there's a limited amount of profit to be shared by both sides. As a result of this "death spiral", most retailers fail.

Do extremely difficult work.That seems obvious, right? If you do something that's valued but scarce because it's difficult, you're more likely to be in demand and to be compensated fairly for what you do.The implication is stunning, though: When designing a project or developing a skill, seek out the most difficult parts to master and contribute.

Don__ waste time worrying about work/life balance, or looking for your best self, sham __ecrets_ or any other snake oil being pushed by sloppy hippies who have never built a business, let alone a bankroll, or you will wake up 20 years from now poor, pissed off and primed for a midlife crisis.

Yet in reality, the likelihood of reaching the pinnacle of capitalist society today is only marginally better than were the chances of being accepted into the French nobility four centuries ago, though at least an aristocratic age was franker, and therefore kinder, about the odds. It did not relentlessly play up the possibilities open to all those with a take on the future of the potato crisp, and so, in turn, did not cruelly equate an ordinary life with a failed one.Our era is perverse in passing off an exception as a rule.

Every true leader is in the business of God. The good news is that God__ business does not yield loses. Most leaders fail because they claim to be in a business whose owner they never know!

Don't look for the next opportunity. The one you have in hand is the opportunity.

If women are breadwinners and men bring home the bacon, why do people complain about having no dough? I'm confused. Also hungry.

Many men beg for a job but have no clue what hard work really means.

To some women, a job plays the role of a man. To most women, a man plays the role of a job.

In the men I love heroes, in the work I love heroism

Leaders are hard workers. They never expect more out of the people around them than they are willing to give themselves.

Banning the word bossy doesn__ promote anything, especially leadership. In fact, it would actually show that being bossy works. We don__ need to ban the word bossy, we need to get rid of bossiness. The best way to do that? Be a real leader. How poetic.
