Masayoshi Son: Dreams and Passion - Part One
"I am a man who is obsessed with the internet." In the early part of 2000, during a late-night interview with a Tokyo television station, Son introduced himself this way.
Outside the window, the city lights sparkled, and Tokyo was immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of spring. That year, Japan became one of the world's largest investing countries, with direct investments reaching $300 billion, and overseas net assets exceeding $1 trillion. At 43 years old, Masayoshi Son was the shining star of this economic wave. The market value of the SoftBank company he led exceeded $100 billion, and due to his successful investments in over 600 internet enterprises, his international reputation reached its peak, earning him the title of "Emperor of the Digital Age." It was also in this year that the rapid rise of SoftBank stock propelled Son, holding 44% of SoftBank shares, to become Japan's richest man.

Focus is a necessary condition for every successful person. Even individuals with great talent, if they cannot fully dedicate themselves to one field, one industry, or even one position, it is difficult for them to achieve long-term success. Just like Bill Gates focuses on the personal computer domain, Alibaba focuses on providing trading platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises, and Masayoshi Son focuses on all businesses related to the internet.
Masayoshi Son has a deep affection for "the internet." Every morning when he wakes up, the first thing he does is turn on his computer to browse the news, send and receive emails, and communicate with colleagues about work. These are the most important things in Masayoshi Son's day.
Masayoshi Son: Dreams and Passion - Part Three
Throughout history, there have been more failures than successes, so the success stories of successful people are often easily mythologized, leading to the prevalence of superficialism and laziness. The fact is, even someone as successful as Masayoshi Son experienced countless lows before reaching the peak; before reaping the bountiful harvest of a boom period, he also encountered numerous setbacks. This is the true depiction of every successful person's path to success.
Tracing back through Masayoshi Son's journey of struggle, "pain" is the most fitting word.
