When Your Grandfather Chose Hard Labor Over War
What drives someone to leave everything behind and work on a plantation for a dollar a day? Guy Kawasaki's paternal grandparents faced this choice in early 1900s Japan: serve in the military or immigrate to Hawaii as contract laborers. They chose the plantations. His father Duke started working at fourteen and eventually became a state senator for twenty years without a college degree, creating Hawaii's Office of the Ombudsman to help ordinary people. His mother Lucy, under five feet tall but fierce, taught him to always leave places better than he found them. Growing up in working-class Kalihi Valley, Kawasaki wasn't wealthy, but his parents made sacrifices that changed his trajectory. When sixth-grade teacher Trudy Akau convinced them to send him to 'Iolani School-a private institution costing $1,250 yearly on a $20,000 income-they said yes. Without that intervention, there would be no Stanford, no Apple, no career in Silicon Valley. Sometimes one person's belief in you rewrites your entire story.
