Take Akio Morita, Sony's co-founder. 
Born in 1921 in Dagagoya. He was the 
eldest son and 15th generation heir to 
one of Japan's oldest sake brewing families. But Morita became obsessed 
with electronics, building his own ham 
radio and nearly flunking out of school 
because he ignored everything except 
tinkering with gadgets. After the war, 
he was offered a prestigious teaching 
position at Tokyo Institute of 
Technology, but he and his business 
partner decided to abandon their safe 
traditional path to building something 
completely new together. The company's 
first consumer product was an electric 
rice cooker in 1945, a complete failure 
that either burned rice or left it 
undercooked. In 1950, they launched 
Japan's first tape recorder. Fast 
forward to 1979, Morita bet on a product 
that nobody believed in, the Walkman. By 
1983, Sony had sold over 50 million 
Walkmans worldwide.
