We are not making a capital investment into GM as the first element or condition.

Our objective is to position Nissan in the top rank of the car industry. Until we get there, there will be no rest.

You'll never convince me there is a hopeless situation or there is any finality in any success or any failure.

Incentives are not strategy, they are tactics. Defensive measures.

You don't build your character by doing what everybody else is doing.

I would say a good leader brings results. A great leader writes a new story, it's different. Obviously a new story has to incorporate a lot of results. But a story is a chapter in the life of a company that people want to write and want to remember.

In most companies people make a specific contribution to the company in their function. But it is not expressed in terms of profit, only in terms of performing their function better.
