The TV Drama That Became My Ignition Switch

As a junior high schooler, I encountered a TV drama called "Okane ga nai!" (No Money!). Watching it, I realized: even someone poor can succeed, and build a life without hardship. "I will absolutely work hard" — that was my life's first resolution, made in front of a television.

Life's ignition switch can be anywhere — not necessarily in great books or lectures. What matters is not what you encounter, but whether you treat the moment your heart moves as a signal from the future. Thousands watched the same drama; few decided their lives that night.

What do you work for?
