見る前に跳べと言ったのは大江健三郎かと思ったが、大江健三郎の作品「見る前に跳べ」の題名は
「石橋を叩いて渡る」の意味の"Look before you leap"を逆手にしたアメリカの詩人W.H.オーデンの詩"Leap Before You Look"が元らしい。
Leap Before You Look
W. H. Auden
The sense of danger must not disappear:
The way is certainly both short and steep,
However gradual it looks from here;
Look if you like, but you will have to leap.
Tough-minded men get mushy in their sleep
And break the by-laws any fool can keep;
It is not the convention but the fear
That has a tendency to disappear.

大きな揺れがきた。
ベンチャービジネスとは見る前に跳ぶ世界ではない。見て跳ぶことが普通であるが、ベンチャーが違うのは、跳ぶことを通じてより大きな世界を見る喜びが癖になるということなんだ。
