Today, I was fortunate enough to participate in Professor Yasuhiro (Yasu) Yamakawa, Ph.D.'s webinar - Failure is Good! It was a two hour program that shortened the Babson College's first-year class. Throughout the webinar, as you can tell by the title, it was about "Failure is Guuuuuud, as long as you learn, build, and act again," which is straightforward but truly challenging to practice. I have to admit that I encountered Babson for the first time when I watched the famous "donut video" by Akio Toyoda a couple of years ago. https://lnkd.in/gAcYEMd8 Since then, I have been seeking a chance to learn from Professor, and today, it came true. So, thank you to those who worked hard to organize the webinar. However, the message I empathized with most from the session was not about the failure part (it does not mean that I disagree or something, besides, I felt I'm not taking risks enough to fail). It was the very beginning; "If you could solve ONE world problem, what would it be?" Interestingly, it's associated with the donut.
