> Nakamura apparently used to say "We've got to do everything together." It means that you can't win someone's trust by just sitting on a chair telling others what to do, just because you're a doctor or are knowledgeable. It's when and only when you pick up a shovel and operate heavy machinery that you will be taken in as a companion, otherwise nothing will get started.
