In this calligraphy, Tasuku Honjo has written a motto that has been important to him throughout his life: “Without ambition, success cannot be achieved.” The motto is written in Chinese characters and comes from Chinese Emperor Guangwu of Han, who lived from 6 BCE to 57 CE. When Honjo did his groundbreaking work on how the immune system can be used to fight cancer, what he encountered was not direct resistance but indifference and scepticism. But he kept going and ultimately reached his goal.
Tasuku Honjo donated the calligraphy to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2018. - Pristagare
