"But in reality, when I'm working on something, the reaction of the people close to me is the most important thing. It becomes the engine that gives me the strength to go forward. The marks my steps will leave are all my responsibility and no one else's. Well, actually it's not just about me. In fact, they influence the marks left by my team too. However, if someone will look for my step marks in the future, I don't want to be considered as a person who lived an unfulfilled life.
For me, finding an obstacle on my way is a chance to show my strong will to go on. We don't know if we can or can't do something if we don't try. So, I'd like to get my spirit and body ready to face new challenges. I get strength from the people close to me. I'd love to take care of them, but maybe I end up being protected. This is the reason why I wanna give them strength too. But this must not be a duty just because they are important for me. It's not a matter of age or social position. It's something natural, just because I wanna do it. Normally, I don't express such a feeling in a special form. I express myself just through some words or a glance that gets a special and deep meaning between me and the person I care about." - KAI-HO-KU, Volume 18, February 2003
