Investing is considered a bedrock in making generational wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.

[@tedlington]

He went back to Japan after graduating because he made a promise to his mom; that to me, is as meaningful as his business achievements

[@0mnm]

totally agreed

[@kylepasta]

No way , his business achievements are 1 million times more noble , hes the got damn ceo of softbank, that's like being the president of the world

[@ab-zo4kw]

this comment didnt age well ...

[@AdamSmith-dd6pd]

Yes, he is great, but not the full reason. He had to go back to Japan to attempt to sell his translator until finally meeting Sharp's Tadashi Sasaki. They then became lifelong friends and Sasaki remained involved in Masa's Softbank founding, especially with the example of providing a loan to Masa including Sasaki's retirement money and house as collateral.

[@laturista1000]

why can't more CEOs be this genuine? He talks in a simple way people can relate.

[@WhiteSharkconcac]

It's the culture thing I guess. Asians are more down to earth, Americans tend to be more extravagant.

[@wildreams]

Actually many things he said was just bullshiting for simplicity (invent a translator for 5 mins a day? Please.). Don't get me wrong, I respect him and think he is a hardworking business and technical genius, but please don't take what he said too seriously. (Also I'm Asian, so this is not me being biased or anything 😂)

[@ore3053]

you know, he also speaks simply in Japanese.

[@singhmaster4]

It is the culture difference for sure. Even Indians are more grounded businessmen. Americans are brought up into self centered show off culture and materialism. Just look around you and travel the world you will see. Americans spend more money on a car than buying a house to park it in.

[@vladimator1842]

Serge Labelle Read your entire comment, and wanted to respond with this: -Cannot agree with you more!! I simply adore Japan as a country, as a culture and the values for which it stands and of course its virtuous citizens! Japans inhabitants are among if not the most mannered people in the world. Not only that, but they’re aware of this and pride themselves cuz of it, and I absolutely applaud them all for backing it up as well! I’ve visited Tokyo in 2017 for a month, and I’ve gotten some experience in witnessing how people treat each other there in public, and in private!! They are very polite, respectful and they do not accept bribes or tips in restaurants or lounges lol!! Tipping over there is considered an act of pity or dishonor so I’ve heard. I’ve also encountered a Japanese family back home in the states where I’m from, this being NYC baby, and they behave the same exact way here. It’s unbelievable!! It’s totally admirable to witness such devotion to ones character and development. You can clearly see it out in the open when in the presence of a Japanese family or an individual. Just pay attention and know what you’re looking for, and you will definitely see it! Cheers!!!

[@Onlinesully]

Serge Labelle Well summarized Serge. Any of us could learn from it.

[@manakalaala]

It's Vlad, not Vladimir There is no tip culture in Asia. That's why Asians get confused when they go to the West.

[@anon8428]

@@vladimator1842 Denying war crimes is honourable? Stop fetishising Japanese. They are polite but they do not say what they think. Also he's Korean. Koreans make up 0.05 percent of Japanese population and yet he somehow became the richest man of Japan at one point.

[@beautyholic5592]

@Jay Talents Every country has a blood-washed history. It appears that is only held against a nation when they aren't reliant on successful nations to sustain the bare minimum required for human advancement.

[@SimonLiftsLife]

His 50year life plan is one of the main thing that got him here. I cant believe that he even thought about making such a long plan at 19years old. This is insane. Something to learn from for sure.

[@Ovhik]

I am so surprised that I am compelled to think if it is even true. I am not sure if he really meant what we are thinking he meant.

[@chriswalter92]

I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal.

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
