高橋歩

this man is my hero.

he is a 39 year old japanese writer.
when he was 20, he dropped out of uni to open a bar with his friend. within 2 years, he owned 4 bars but then gave the full ownership to his friend.
when he was 23, he started up a publishing company and started writing.
he wrote 3 books, and they didn't sell at all. he was $3million in debt.
his later books then became a success and he gave away his ownership for the publishing company when he was 26.

he got married and 3 days after their wedding, they went on a round the world trip for a year and 8 months.

after returning to japan, he opened up a bar/cafe in okinawa where him and his wife live.
when he turned 30, he had a little baby boy.

he has opened up a school in india where kids can be educated for free.

now he has started another publishing company and has 2 kids and traveling the world again with his family.


his life is such an adventure!
i'm 23 now, and all i've done is gone to uni and worked at a bar.
by the time he was 23, he had been $3million in debt, he had owned 4 bars and was starting a publishing company! WOAH.

i have 3 of his books and i love them. i want to read all his books and be inspired to make my life an exciting adventure.

what an amazing man.
