To overcome the Fear, Fear, terror) "method
"Sumitomo electric industries to set up a research group of radiation light industry applications.Do you want to join?"If it is not the elder told me the information of the university laboratory, I should be as an academic life.To tell the truth, during the PhD program study fusion, has been in graduate student period of alumni of telling me that hard work at the same time, also said a lot of the fun of work, I hit the bottom of my heart to feel envy."Hope in a more direct way to make a contribution to society", in the idea, I hired the sumitomo electric industries.
Assigned to sowing grinding research institute, I heard "sumitomo electric corporate culture is to let young people are accountable, headlined", sure enough, asked me in charge of the BeamLine * creates the leadership of the project design to complete a series of work.Then, after the SPring - 8 * squared early in the process of the project such as promotion, I gradually realized the meaning of "the purpose of the enterprise basic research".In grinding research institute, the new topic of how to realize was still in the stage of research ShiYeHua?How should the social feedback?That is to say, in order to realize the "shift" from zero to one, I every day trying to grope.In order to come up with good ideas, researchers always desperately trying to get information, I read a lot of business books, too.
It was then that I contact the Fact (known), Faith (hypothesis), Fear, Fear, horror) "this insight into the theory in the future.In this case, the "Fear" is "not even notice his ignorance.To start something new, it has to overcome the "Fear", and the only way is "and never contact with a person or organization to communicate".How to realize "from zero to a shift"?I believe this is the answer.But never thought that I later also how difficult experience to do this.
* 1: BeamLine: used for radiation by using light equipment
* 2: SPring - 8: located in hyogo prefecture sowing grinding science park city, to create the world's highest radiation performance of large radiation light facilities
The sadness of silicon valley on Friday
Then, I in yokohama research institute engaged in optical components development, in 2008, was assigned to research planning.In 2009,春，领导问我是否愿意前往美国INNOVATION CORE SEI, INC. （ICS）赴任。指派给我的任务是“在全球性实验基地――硅谷，开拓新业务”。在“着眼于30年后住友电工的举措”这一社长直管项目中，我给出了“推进实证事业的事业”这一提案。而指派给我的任务正好与我的提案相吻合。说实话，我完全没想到会把这个任务指派给我。
To ICS, after I first participated in the dominated by Intel in the digital home appliance equipment such as personal computers and TV using a new generation of communications standards between Light Peak (hereafter Thunderbolt) development work.Initially, director of the Intel can't even remember the name of our company, called "SUMITOMO" became "SUMIMOTO", but I still have no words to find words ", made an appointment in their Friday afternoon visit Intel with business department colleagues.The visit lasted for several months.In addition, the concept of "leisure" Friday has been rooted in the American mind, so sometimes appear to visit sites could not be found.Even so, a prior engagement, I will keep the appointment.This is the only motivation, never so depressed on Friday.
One day and got to know each other to develop products appear problem, I put forward on the spot "hope to explore the solution" by us.After consulting I was part of optical communications research institute, in less than two weeks, I successfully presented the solution to Intel.Take this opportunity to head of Intel's party introduced me to several researchers, we established good relations of cooperation.In addition, "can be very fine coaxial line to solve the problems caused by the winding" the proposal has been well received, sumitomo electric is appointed as the project's first supplier.Sumitomo electric拥有各种技术种子，相关部门可迅速携手应对课题，我认为能被客户起用就是住友电工集团综合实力结出的硕果。这就是我的真实感受。
"And" : the resonance and create a
In addition, every Friday I take part in social activities.Although at that time, in the period of the lehman silicon valley still emit unique vitality.Somewhere in the city held activities, first met the engineers with red wine, exchange unofficial information.Such a scenario for americans are accustomed to.And always feel sad before I participated in the activities of timid around strangers, to go after, wine, will gradually break the ice, so I enjoy it, too.
GAFA later called stands (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon) large IT companies at the time of start-up companies constantly absorbing merger, achieved rapid development, and employs a lot of Indian and Chinese engineers.In SAN jose on the road, I still meet some companies implement automated driving experiment.This is nowadays the PoC (proof of concept), namely the initial stage of the birth of a new career.This is also we want to do, that is, in Fact, Faith and Fear "of the" Fear ".I realized that I have already practice a "transition" from zero to one.Out of the office and meet with people, about their goals, talk heart to heart.All started with "communicate with strangers or new organization".
University teacher has given me ", geographical and human conditions "* after teacher.May yet, but I always adhere to the practice.Friendly "and" not "club".It refers to each person do you want to do, keep faith, at the same time of self study, the posture of the echo and cooperate with others.
Sumitomo electric industries to achieve sustainable development, I think the resonance between the excellent talents and create a "and" extremely important, which is formed by the such activity will engender new career.
* 3: "mencius".Meaning a godsend also less than right, and right is not as good as the harmony
