This is the most “plastics” moment I know of.
When Masa Son was 16 years old, he was obsessed with meeting his idol: Den Fujita, the head of McDonald’s Japan.
Masa called the man’s office relentlessly but with no success.

Masa called the man’s office relentlessly but with no success.
So, he decided to hop on a plane to Tokyo and plead with the secretaries in person.
Tell him: “You don’t have to look at me. You don’t have to talk to me. You can keep on working, whatever you’re doing. I just want to see his face. For three minutes."

How can you say no to that? Fujita made time for him.
And Masa asked him: “what business should I go into?”
"Computers! Don’t look at the past, look at the future industries. Computer industry, that’s the one you should focus on.”

Which he did, immediately moving to the US for high school and then Berkeley
Can you imagine if Fujita, head of McDonald’s Japan, had said “fast food”? 😅
This is the ~2 min video where Masa talks about this butterfly moment.
