Jn_Matsumoto Ryu Murakami said it best. β€œIn the world of tastes there are no life-shaking encounters or discoveries in exchange for nothing that threatens you. True sense of accomplishment and fulfillment are found in work that involves a great deal of cost, risk, and sense of danger, and always exists side by side with disappointment and despair. In other words, they are only in β€œwork.”

I read this in a book I read a long time ago, and I always try to remember it when things get a little tough at work.

Hobbies are certainly enjoyable, but the joy that makes my body tremble has always been found in β€œwork,” as I look back on my own experience.

When we create something in the world that has never existed before, or when we are able to provide great value to others, those are the moments when we are truly happy with our work. And that is something that can only be achieved by taking risks.

The joy of being able to work. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you, and I am determined to do my best again.
