My strategy is to assemble a diverse group of open-minded students, who respect each other's talent and work together to achieve a common mission. It is important for you to understand people have different types of intelligence. You must recognize other people's talents, especially when they are very different from you, and understand that different tasks call on different talents.

I encourage my students to gain skills needed to navigate through today's dynamic society. You are encouraged to express your disagreement with Dr Norimatsu. The discussion will be helpful if you understand how Dr Norimatsu operates. Fortunately, Dr Norimatsu has a personality practically identical to that of Ray Dalio. If you understand Ray, you understand Dr Norimatsu.
