        There are only two kinds of people in the world:
        
        Best Effort people are satisfied with the status quo; when they fail, they console themselves by saying "I did my best."
        
        Get Things Done people are absolutely committed to reaching their goals.
        
        With enough determination and effort-by being a Get Things Done person-you can achieve anything.

        Rakuten is an organization composed of true professionals.
        
        Real professionals in any field-whether in sports, the arts, science, business or anything else-only reach the top because they have the self-discipline to develop and improve themselves continuously.
        
        Only by consistently working many times harder than our competitors can we consistently win.
