“Business is a creative and therefore spiritual endeavor. Great entrepreneurs enter the field of business in the same way great artists enter the field of art. With their business creation, entrepreneurs express their spiritual desire for self-realization, evolutionary passion for self- fulfillment, and creative vision of a new world. The entrepreneur's business is their artwork. The creation of business is as creative as any creation in art. In fact, building a business may be the most creative human activity.” WorldWayHumansMayArtSelfFactsSpiritualDesireArtistPassionVisionCreativeCreationFieldsBuildingActivityEntrepreneurSelf RealizationRealizationFulfillmentEndeavorNew WorldGreat ArtGreat ArtistArtworkHuman ActivitySelf FulfillmentCreative VisionBuilding A Business Author:Yasuhiko Kimura

“Where are these rational practices to be taught and acquired? Not within the four walls of a bare building, in which formality predominates...

“Let the painter composing narrative pictures take pleasure in wealth and variety, and avoid repeating any part that occurs in it, so that the uniqueness and abundance attract people to it and delight the eye of the observer.
