Advice from Mr. Miyamoto

In a recent interview to MTV, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto spoke a bit about the Wii, the Nintendo DS and ended the interview with an important advice for newer generations about life:

“I’d always been told growing up as a young child that America is a country that always is taking on new challenges, and that is something Nintendo has been doing.

My feeling is that the more you take on a new challenge and the more you sacrifice in trying to accomplish that new challenge and the more hardship you experience trying to overcome that challenge, the more that you grow as a person. Really, I like the idea of trying to do things differently from other people.

My advice to the MTV audience would be, don’t just continue to pursue the same fads that everyone else is doing. See what you personally can create and what you personally can bring to the world instead of following down the path that everyone else seems to be following. The more you can step off that path and be your own person, the more you’re going to grow and the more that you can experience in the world.”
