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.

  1. First step up is very scary and challenging, but you may realize how easy it is at the end. You keep on challenging and it's OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. I appreciate your positive attitude during the class. I will see you in next class, raising your hands to share your opinions with your classmates.
