My natural mother died one month after I was born, apparently due to giving birth at an advanced age.

Most of the work performed by a development engineer results in failure.

However, the occasional visit of success provides just the excitement an engineer needs to face work the following day.

The thought grew strong in me that since I had gone to the trouble of being born, I might as well be useful in helping people live long and healthy lives. And this thought has always resided in the back of my mind.

Find your own dream! Keep this dream and take good care of it and then sometime you will accomplish something [and feel the intense satisfaction that only the achievement of a long held, worthwhile goal can give].

My grandmother valued even the smallest of things.

When it came time to find employment, I set my sights on becoming an engineer at a home electronics manufacturer, a field that was closely related to my major at university.
