However, there were a lot of problem  until they developed it. Before they achieved it, they worried whether we can develop "Insight". Then they decided "Kick out the ladder". This mean keep challenging and don't make escape way. They decided a commitment. That is why they could make "Insight".

So I think cooperation is most important for keeping motivation and growth. I have been experienced about it. Cooperation able to keep the motivate for myself therefore I respect to the person of having ambition because I'm influenced by them.

2: How do you motivate other people? 

 This is difficult question for me, but I have some experience about motivating

other people. For example, I'm working

at tennis school since 3 years ago that is job of instructor for customers. When I started instructor then I had some problem about  teaching tennis that I couldn't tell tennis skill to customers. So I couldn't motivate. After some lessons, I had been thought about how I motivate to customers. At that time, I hited some idea that is comunication then I didn't understand the thought of custmer. After the comunication, I have been motivate to customers therefore I could understand the thought of customers and opinions. Right now, my lesson is including customers opinion and my opinion.  

 In my conclusion, I think comunication is most important for motivating other people.

Hi! I'm Sawako. 

Story

Honda developed "Insight" which is hybrid car. It is a new and high technology, so development is very difficult. But they continued to challenge and did test over and over.

"Kick out the ladder" means a step of success.

Lesson

I learned "Never give up" from this video. I thought when I watched it, we can dreams come true how we make efforts and challenge.

Experience

When I was junior high school student, I didn't go to school because I was afraid meeting people why there were trouble. I couldn't get on a train alone and hated going out. I was unwilling to go high school and university. I was spiritless to live, I didn't know why I live. But my mother said me "It's good just to be alive with health." I was saved this word and I was thankful for her.

Then I commuted high school ,and entered university. I did not give up to live. There are such a pain experience anyone, but keeping live without giving up is important I think.

Assignment 2 : Koudai Okazaki

Story 

This is the story which Honda made hybrid car insight. It was difficult to develop this car. I recommend to watch you a scene which how did Honde maker s develop the car?

Lesson

To take away escape route. I can wide my possibility.

Experience 

When I was junior high student I belonged to soccer club. I have few staying power. Therefore, I have to gain it because, soccer always have to run a ground. So I tried to go running around my home for gain it.  But, I sometime      

give up. This is my weak point. I thought solution. I tried to go running far place and decided to destination where I goal.

Assignment 2: Chihiro Tanaka

     I watched the video about history of developing INSIGHT whis is advanced hybrid car sales by HONDA. At that time, hybrid car was not so popular and famous and many engineers have no confidence that this project will success. How ever they have to keep going, because there is a mission statement from the president"kick out the ladder."

     From this video, I learned "the importance of challenge" because virtually the engineers of HONDA faced up to the difficult situation and succeeded their project admirably. In this video, Takeo Fukui the president of HONDA strongly said "You have to push people to the difficult situation. Otherwise we can't creat new technologies." and also hesaid"We should not think about safety net."
     When I watched this movie, I was so impressed, because I have a simmiler experience in my life. I have choosen so many escape way so far, because it is easier than challenge. For example, I'm taking some English classes  in my university now, and in the most of classes, I'm quite negative student. Why I can't raise my hand up? Why I can't say my opinion clearly? Sometime, I ask to myself and I found the answer. It because I'm escaping from challenging. I was afraid of making mistakes, but I realized that escaping makes nothing. This video is really meaningful for me, because it changed my mind dramatically.

Assignment2:Kiho Takayama

Story

This story is produced new hybrid car developed by Honda. The new hybrid car is "INSIGHT." They created new something and comes with a lot of problems. "Kick out the ladder" means it's corner to the limit and people can do it.

They didn't use and didn't want to that. They really want to different something. Our project was failure. We thinking new activity and failure every time. But don't be afraid, we don't know if we don't try. I think to do that we can try. We'll try to anything.

"BUT" can not be at the begining of the sentence.  Please use "However" in stead.

Morlal lesson

Assignment 2 Natsuka Hagiwara

 

 

Story

 

This is the video about what was important when people produced INSIGHT.

INSIGHT is car of Honda and INSIGHT is hybrid car. There was not general because hybrid car was bought by people who have interested in hybrid car.  Development project (production for INSIGHT) member thinks Kick out the ladder. They know that,   if they want to produce good object, they should do that. They felt pressure at that time.

Some person appeared in this video. For example, Chuck Thomos who manager Honda charge of safety, Yasunari Seki who leader of project, Takeo Fukui who president of Honda and so on. Takeo Fukui said we should not think about safety net. We have to make new car that should fit with surrounding. That means kick out the ladder. Honda  company knew how we can make satisfaction for costumer. Costumer fells influence from result that after considered.

 

 

Moral lesson

 

I learned “Corner by my self is important” from this video because INSIGHT project was succeed to use this way. It is easy for us to escape when we felt hardship however they did not choice that. I think that is really important point. In fact almost people choices escape. They don’t want to get hard so they did. I think it is big problem for our future　because if they would not try, we can’t make new technology more. Our growth may stop in the future.

 

 

Experience

 

I have same experience about studying English. When I was high school student, I don’t want to try for studying because I felt boring to all class. I had to take a note and I could not share my opinion with class mate. I did not like Japanese education system therefor I escaped.

 

I promoted for 3^rd grade of high school student. I saw advertisement about studying abroad in my high school. I was interested in abroad and studying English so I decided to go to studying abroad to corner for me. I wanted to be a change for me. I know how lazy I am. It was good experience for me. I could understand what should I do in university and I could gain a little confidence of English. I understood how important to challenging at that time. That’s why I learning English now.

Assignment 2: Yuriko Kibayashi

Story
Insight was developed by project  team of Honda. This is hybrid cars. But at that time, it didn't sell as expected. 

Then the project team thought that kick out the ladder. Meaning of always challenge and don't make escape way. Also Takeo Fukui who is president and CEO of Honda said that set fire to it. So they tested many times for create new development. 

Lesson

This video teach me about don't make escape way and always challenge. Almost people afraid when they start something new, because of mistakes. However, if we afraid of something new, we can't create new ideas more than better. Also then, if we make escape way, we can escape. This is very easy for us. However, if we really want to improve ourselves, we have to try anything and prepare. I learned it from kick out the ladder. 

My experience 

Takeo Fukui said "kick out the ladder and set fire to it. I have known this word since I was high school student, because my teacher said, but at that time I didn't know this video. When I heard this word, I couldn't decide whether study or club activity, I couldn't be compatible,because club activity is very hard. However, I value both study and club activity. Then, I heard this word from my club coach. And I realized that I'm making way to escape. After that I study and practice hard. This experience became my power. 

Assignment2: Daiki Suetake

Hello! my name is Daiki

Story…

HONDA’s new hybrid car has many feelings. Safety, appearance and new technology.

People want to these car’ so engineer must to reply these offer. But HONDA’s member thinks too.  

In my opinion…

I saw this movie. I was very surprised that HONDA’s technology. HONDA’s engineer believe in the safety first of those who ride. A lot of HONDA’s member hope to safety in the car. The Car is very important item’ so it must be safety, strong and convenient. There are many countries member in engineer. 

I think there is no border.

Assignment 2: Ryuji Seko

Story

This is the video about story of Honda company's development team. In 2005 they had a big project to make new manufacture. They called "Insight" this car is kind of hybrid car. But at that time, a degree of recognition was still lower than present. Takeo Fukui who is the president of Global Honda said "You have to push people to a difficulty situation, otherwise we can't create new technologies" It means kick out the ladder. In fact when he just gave the targets to development team also he said "our challenge is continue to deliver products of the highest quality products with the highest efficiency" to public. That thing was absolutely made engineer's feeling for more struggle. In addition the company Honda also have that kind of experience. In 1982 the Honda began to build product in US that was first car company began to business in foreign country.

Moral lesson

I learned "The value of challenge"from this video because actually Honda's engineer were in hardest situation. I think they could choose escape from that kind of situation. But they did't. On the contrary they god reward with "Insight" So I realized, if I get difficulty problem, I have to try to solve it  even It's an extreme problem. Then I'll can find to way of solving problem. Just try it.  

Experience

I have a similar experience about studying. I have a lot of experience of challenging. Two month ago I joined Eurasia Student's Forum in Yamanaka Village. It was really great experience. But also really difficult for me, because that forum were discuss with Russian student's. We were prepared own topic in English. Especially for me it's a really difficult,because at that time I was in Philippine for studying abroad,so I didn't have enough time to preparing for forum.On that day, first I thought I could't do anything, but also think about how could I adapted this situation. So I did my best. As a result I succeed discuss really deeply about our topic with Russian student's.

Assignment1: Yuriko Kobayashi

Story 
Ramsey Musallam is a chemistry teacher. He realized that student's question is true start for study when he had a matter of life and death. Then he has left pseudo education. He understood that real teacher role is bring up curiosity. And he decided 3rule. First is "Curiosity comes first". Second is "Embrace the mess".  Third is "Practice reflection". Cultivators of curiosity and inquiry make student's school day brightness. 

Lesson
He said that student's question is very important. I think so, too. 
But Japanese students can't emphasize their questions. As a reason Japanese education doesn't have enough opportunities for emphasize their opinions. Japanese education hasn't  been able to grow the curiosity. This situation is serious problem for Japanese. So, we should make opportunity by ourselves to grow curious for the future in Japan. 

My experience 
When I was junior school student, I was member of wind orchestra club. My club was very weak, so teammates gave up. But when we became third grade, teacher said that let's take a gold prize in this year.  But nobody said can't, because we can get only bronze prize. Then our reader encourage us. She said challenge and curious is important, and we had motivation. So we practiced very hard. And we weren't seized with the conventional basic method what before we did. We took the various exercises method what we created. Everyone had curiosity and spirit of challenge. Then we could get gold prize. Our club has never gotten gold prize. So it was first time for our club. I could learn what we should challenge everything with curiosity through this experience. 

Assignmnet 1: Natsuka Hagiwara

Story 

Romsey Musallman is chemistry teacher in high school. He could understand what need for education through him teaching experience more than 10 years. He had a cancer at artery. He afraid that but when he talked with his doctor, he could get peace of mind. Because his doctor has confidence to do operation.  He though. It is important to prepare for everything. He said that all teacher must make sure to foster for student’s curiosity.

Lesson

From his story because I think that fix rule and fix frame is no good for us, I learned following important points: Curiosity comes first, Embrace the mess, and Practice reflection. There would be disturb good opinions and good ideas. Therefore, we have to think without frame. We should have a flexible mind like children. 

I learned being flexible is important for us.

We need to think outside of the box. If we do that we will be discovery new ideas. 

My personal experience 

 When I was high school student, I was member of student council’s accounts. We had to work for school at that time. It was really hard for us because quantity was a lot. One day, our leader said let’s do brain storming. I want your crazy and curios opinions.

We talked about what I wanted to do at student council. We shared with each enthusiasm of student council. For example, we stick Post-it on a wall, window, white board, refrigerator, PC, and so on. Since then, we held meeting every day. We discussed in unreasonably. Probably, students except student council member thoughts that we looked like fools. However, we could succeed almost to use this way. I thought that we needed curiosity as well as considering through having fun to prepare for the theme. This experience was really important for me

Assignment 1: Ryuji Seko

Ramsey Musallam is a teacher who teach chemistry. He talked about "what is important for teaching" with his real experience.When he were thirty-five years old he got a big desease in his thoracic aorta.At that time he felt scared,but he found surprising moment of confort, his surgeon had big confident to surgey.So he asked to surgeon,and he said three things.Curiosity,Embraced and didn't fear and Through intense reflection.When he discharge hospital he god a lot of things from that words.Now he has three rules in his class.The first one is curiosity,Second is Embrace the mess and Third one is Practice reflection.He think the each students has different point.So the most difficult point of teaching is "How will they grow this curiosity" Educator has many possibility to grow student's curiosity.

Lesson

I learned from this story is the value of curiosity.Now in japanese education prefer to teach for students quiet,that thing is supress to curiosity.Mostly Japanese people like cooperation with other people.I think that point is our weak point and also strong point.But in my opinion is japanese students should have curiousity for anything because we still have possibility to anything.

My personal experience

When I entered university all of students had nervous to took classies,because nobody can expect how difficult is that classies.So they chose easier class,but I had defferent opinion,I had curiosity to took harder classies because i really wanted to improving my english skill.Now I think my choise was correct,actually that class was little bit hard for me but it also gave me a lot of inspiration. I realized to try to anything is really important for inprove own any skills.
