Pippa Alien

Pippa people are a race of people who can instantly put into action any ideas they come up with.

I became a natural farmer and have been working on things following my intuition at Pippa. I started as a farmer, started tea ceremony, became a business owner, promoted agricultural welfare cooperation, and went on a business trip to America. I have been told that I am out of the ordinary as a normal natural farmer. I think that is because at some point I started to be aware that I am a Pippa alien.

If you can instantly tap into your intuition, you're a Pippa alien.

A Pippa alien named Oda Nobunaga

Since I was in elementary school, I have loved history and have read a lot of historical novels.
I don't have much time to read novels these days, so I enjoy watching history-related YouTube videos with my son. I'm very interested in Oda Nobunaga, the biggest Pippa star in Japan.

His characteristic of fighting according to intuition at the Battle of Okehazama, which was said to be an absolutely disadvantageous battle, is truly amazing. From there, in just 22 years, he not only determined the course of Japan's future with the Honnoji Incident, but also established the foundation for the rise of the tea ceremony and created new economic rules, and I believe that the reason he was able to achieve great things in many areas was because he was a true Pippa alien, not bound by common sense, and had the initial speed to put his intuition into practice.

Steve Jobs, a Pippa alien

There is a famous story about connecting the dots in the Stanford University commencement speech. It is an impressive story of how the young Steve Jobs connected the dots between his study of calligraphy at university and his subsequent involvement in the creation of the Mac, which led to the Mac being equipped with beautiful fonts.

I think that great Pippas have the ability to connect what they have learned in the early stages into a line. First, you start with the dots, and then how you connect those dots is what makes them original.

Intuition → Art → Automatism

Excellent Pippa people excel at elevating what they start intuitively into art and automating it. After Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu were able to unify Japan. After Jobs, Tim Cook managed Apple well. This is probably because they were conscious of automating what they did.

Paradoxically, if we didn't have a strong intuition, if we weren't accustomed to turning it into art, we might become slaves to automation. I simply believe that life is a work of art.
