"The 21st century is an era in which there are no standard answers," says Kenichi Ohmae. In his book Sokusenryoku no Migatikata he notes that under the rules of the game in the new era neither businesses nor workers will be able to rely on successful past models. Only by maintaining an inner desire to continually learn can one gain control over guiding one's own professional life.
「21 世紀是沒有標準答案的時代，」日本管理大師大前研一在《即戰力》一書中說，不論對企業或上班族來說，過去的成功模式不見得能適用新世紀的遊戲規則，勞工朋友應及早覺悟，只有終身保持學習的戰鬥力，才能掌握自己的職涯主導權。
