    Mikhail Gorbachev has written this in his autobiography

    In his younger days, while studying in Europe... He used to study along with two Japanese students.
    2nd World War had come to an end & Japan had not only been completely destroyed, but was facing crippling economic sanctions as well.During the classes, these 2 Japanese students used to take turns to write the notes, while the other student would mend the pencil & keep it ready for use, bcoz in those days, the Japanese pencils used to be of inferior quality & the lead tip of the pencil used to be very brittle, & thus used to break frequently.*
    *Fellow students advised, why not they start using the far superior pencils made in England, which were not expensive either anyways.
    There were tears in the eyes of both the Japanese students. " If we ourselves do no purchase & use our own product, then who else will do it. We don't deny we cannot withstand the quality test today, but there will soon definitely be a day, when the whole world will use our Japanese pencils. "

    Time to think for ourselves now.
