• THE UNTRAPPED MIND
The “untrapped mind” is open enough
to see many possibilities
humble enough to learn
from anyone and anything,
forbearing enough to forgive all
perceptive enough to see things
as they really are,
and reasonable enough
to judge their true value. Konosuke Matsushita
(1894‐1989)
The Founder of Panasonic
