The brave way to return from a mistake
The world has seen great lands and nations, each of which has its own interpretation of greatness, progress, dignity and grandeur. An interpretation that has had a completely opposite result, but resisting this misinterpretation has made the work more difficult and complicated.
According to Barbara Tuckman in the book “The History of Wisdom”, human wisdom is not only in finding the right way; but also in the power of returning from the wrong way. A wisdom that human history has rarely witnessed.
Japan was isolated for two hundred years. Cutting a samurai’s hair short was a sign of humiliation, but Iwasaki, who was a well-known samurai and famous for his strong steel sword, went to the barbershop to disrupt the old order and its rules by cutting his hair!
After a bloody fight that led to the death of several people, he entered the barbershop as a traditional samurai, but the tyrant and short-haired man who came out of the barbershop became one of the founders of modern Japan and its biggest entrepreneur.
He followed his steel sword but by establishing steel and shipbuilding industries. Yataro Iwasaki is the founder of the great Mitsubishi company!
