What is it about?
My career story which started from IBM Japan. This story tells what I experienced, what I thought, and what I decided. A career is not about “success” but about “succeeding” on your own terms. The standard of success is far less uniform and externally defined than we often assume. That is, I believe, the key to building a career that truly satisfies.

Why is it important?
I hope young and female readers feel various career style, especially "what is successful career for YOU". Do not hesitate to dive into new field or change your current working style and position. There is no "Standard success", you can create your career on your way.
Perspectives
Through trial and error, experiencing setbacks and receiving evaluations, all these experiences have led to my career today. My experience ultimately led me to pursue a new career path and accept my current position as a professor at Kansai University.
