Expressing a dream in terms of horsepower and speed.
In 1958, the development team analyzed past race records that approximately 17 horsepower was required to run at an average speed of 120 km/h. They then proceeded with the development of the RC140 racing machine, with a goal of 20 horsepower. The word "best in the world" turns into a condition that can be faced in design.[3]
The subject here is not Soichiro alone, but the development team. Engineers translate the flag raised by the founder into parts, testing, and improvement work. The challenge is not to turn one person's passion into a product. When it becomes a question that someone else can take action on, it becomes an organization's job.
In 1959, Honda first entered the 125cc class at the Isle of Man TT. The results were 6th, 7th, 8th, and 11th. Although it wasn't their first win, they did win the team award.[3] We need to look at both the fact that we didn't reach the top and the achievements we made on the world stage for the first time without erasing both.
If you say it's pointless because you didn't win, you'll lose what you achieved by running so hard. If you think ``just because you won the award is enough,'' you won't see the difference between you and the leader. Those who move on to the next step need the ability to simultaneously have accomplishments they can be proud of and challenges that remain unfulfilled.

伝Interpreting YAMATO DENSHI
Replace vague admiration with observations you can verify.
If we want to make it easy to use, how many minutes does it take for a first-time user to use it? If it's an article that gets read, where do you stop reading? By turning your goals into measurable questions, you can talk about improvements before and after, rather than whether your opinion is winning or losing. However, it is also important not to rely on one number alone to represent quality and safety.
