My Idols
We often emulate our heroes. Indeed, having a role model motivates us to achieve tough goals in our life. The same applies to our performance in the workplace. I have three idols who continue to help me overcome challenges. Namely, they are Ichiro Suzuki, Steve Jobs, and Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
For starters, I was impressed with Ichiro Suzuki when he started to play in Major League Baseball as the first Japanese outfield player. As we all know, a number of Japanese players have crossed the Pacific ocean in the past decade. While some of them performed extremely well, none seems greater than Ichiro in that “Area 51” changed our perception (that Japanese baseball players were not competent enough to play in MLB). Thus, I greatly admire him as a courageous forerunner.
Furthermore, I was intrigued by Steve Jobs’ entrepreneurship in the business domain. He was not always successful in his career. For instance, he was once ousted from Apple, which he had founded; Likewise, he suffered from cancer, which was “miraculously” cured. Despite these and other adversities, he has achieved at least two feats in the past two decades: the successful establishment of Pixar (Animation Studios) and the remarkable revival of Apple. Therefore, I deeply respect him as an unparalleled entrepreneur.
Lastly, I was moved by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche who introduced super-human thought to people . It is often said that Nietzsche's thought is The philosophy of life. In fact, his super-human thought has influenced many famous activists including Soseki Natume, Martin Heidegger. Nietzsche’s work lead us to a importance that abandon old fashioned value and make a brandnew value judgement for yourself from zero-base. Consequently, I strongly venerate him as an exceptional philosopher.
In conclusion, I am attracted to pioneers. Whether an athlete, businessperson, or philosopher, they paved the way that other people eagerly followed. I wish to explore a new field and reach an unconquered pinnacle someday in the future.
