The spirit of the entrepreneur 2003.6.X First appearance

Fail ten times in the twenties!

"What is it! What? "
I was surprised.
"Rather than do success ten times in the twenties,Do failure ten times in the twenties."
What the hell….
If I experience unemployment four times in the twenties,and experience bankruptcy three times,and take a suicide attempt twice,and further experience self-insolvent once….
Is he saying that you should experience failure 10 times in total as described above….
Besides,failing ten times in the twenties means to fail once a year!
What hell….
I thought that an entrepreneur's speaking is different from school teachers indeed.

I came a certain drinking shop(its name Shin-Tera) at Shin-tera in Sendai station east exit.
I became acquainted with Mr. S, a entrepreneur,in that shop.
Then,He gave a sermon me suddenly.
"Fail ten times in the twenties."
Because I'm a chicken,I was not able to dispute.
And,I was just nodding Mr. S's sermon.

In modern times,what is failure….
In Japan before 1998,Speaking of unemployment,
It was a humiliating concept for salaried workers.
It was something like people are not able to tell to someone else a bit.
There was also a word called fired(so-called KUBI in Japanese).
It is a word that like deny all his personality,in spite of the just only lost his job.
Job-hopper was dangerous person,and There was also expression that If you don't work for a long term in one place,your resume become dirty.
However,In recently,It began to be said that company's life span is thirty years etc.
As a result,It became obvious that the person who works there would lives longer more than the company.
Furthermore,When began to be whispered that the world where contract workers occupy 40% of society will be reality soon etc,Unemployment become a passing ritual that would occurs twice or three times in a lifetime.
Then,I feel like that unemployment was no longer thing that like people are not able to tell others at least.

Also,Once,Speaking of bankruptcy,It was equivalent to the death penalty for business owners.It was miserable thing that like lose wealth, trust, honor and become can not dealings even the bank.
When I was a child,If a business owner failed in his business,He had to get away from home with the whole family during night.

Until Just a little while ago,Japan was a society where risk avoidance type or a society where failure is unforgivable.
There was also a word that rail was laid by society.
"If you are boarding on the rail that was laid by society while listen carefully to what parents and teachers say,you will are stable for lifetime."
Children who grew up while receive such a education will have not venture spirit.
Although,The government cries out "Start venture company! young people! "by now.

Fail ten times in the twenties!
Mr. S, a entrepreneur who got acquainted at Shin-Tera certainly said so.
He also said that shed urine of blood.
Urine of blood…
Urine of blood…
I wonder if shed urine of blood!?
If I failed ten times in the the twenties while shedding hematuria,Would I am possible to be a entrepreneur like Mr. S.
I feel like that I don't want to become a entrepreneur by do act like a such extent.
I guess that starting up a venture company is kind of risky like that.
And,I also thought that must become a society which such people are respected.
And,to the society which the resurrection of losers is permitted.

Anyway,Safety is first,He will not fail,but he will not also succeed.
He is doing both work and play in moderation.And,He is going to Universal Studios Japan in Golden Week.
Perhaps,Should will end the era when such a person looks down people who are struggling while taking risks.

Fail ten times in the twenties while shedding hematuria......The spirit of the entrepreneur.
