Curiosity is the key to creativity.

My solution to the problem of unleashing creativity is always to set up a target.

If you go through life convinced that your way is always best, all the new ideas in the world will pass you by.

There is no secret ingredient or hidden formula responsible for the success of the best Japanese companies.

But make sure you don't make the same mistake twice.

The important thing in my view is not to pin the blame for a mistake on somebody, but rather to find out what caused the mistake.

Once you have a staff of prepared, intelligent, and energetic people, the next step is to motivate them to be creative.
