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.
