Curiousity to create

"Curiosity is the key to creativity." Akio Morita

If the future father of the Walkman had done nothing following World War II, he would have done just fine: His family had been brewing sake with considerable success for 14 generations.

Instead, at age 25, he co-founded Sony Corporation. In 15 years, a flexible intelligence and limitless imagination helped Morita make Sony the first Japanese company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Morita's tenacious curiosity persisted into old age: He didn't learn to surf, scuba dive or water-ski until his mid-60s.
