When the head gets stuck

This isn't new, but sometimes my head gets full and my head doesn't spin. I wondered why this happened and if there was a way to avoid it, and I repeated various thoughts and mistakes, but it seems that the cause and remedy have been understood, so I would like to write it. 1. A case where your head is full Experience shows the following as cases. Case1) In most cases, there are too many things to do, and in most cases it is difficult to know what to start with. If there are few todos, there is not much problem, but if there are many todos, the work list itself in my head becomes unclear, and the act of trying to remember it becomes a burden on my head.  Case2) When an unexpected difficult problem comes up. I can afford to think slowly, especially when there is no load, but this kind of story usually occurs when I'm busy, which puts a lot of strain on my brain and makes me exhausted. Case3) When things don't go as you want. A common example of this is when you entrust a

Just doing things is good

Just doing things is a simple and good method if we are in a thinking mode. Sometimes I'm in a thinking mode at my desk, but it did not solve my tasks. So recently I strongly thinks that just doing jobs like mailing, telephone, action projects, writing documents, is better if I have a time to think. If I do somethings and that makes our jobs going ahead, turning them to a good way, it's also fun for me. And thinking like these things, I found this article saying same things. In addition to it, finding these are very trivial things is important. If I can find these are very easy things for me , I can be reluctant. Anyway, if I felt speed of work declines, just doing things is better solution.

Making good usage of commuting

From last July, I've been commuting about 2 hours from my home to my working place so I have certain amout of time at commuting. Commuting is very precious time for me because I can keep certain amount of time for study. Studying English is one option but I don't want to spend much time for it. English is just a tool so if I have a time for studying english, I want to spend time for another things. Studying English is merely like a machinely training for me. It doesn't need intelligence. I don't want to waste my precious time for such a training. (But english is good tool to get huge amount of information so I'm listening english materials at walking, transition period of station because I can't read books in such a situation ) By the way, first priority is reading books. I often read science articles using RSS feed via smartphone but book is special for me. Good books contain wonderful knowledge and wisdom so we can get such informations about $20-$30

Efficiency, usage of brain, etc

I like books very much so I often go to book shops because. I like good books and I think that good books indicates standard level of this country's cultual level. And recently I sometimes feel sad because there are many books which lectures good usage of brains, how to do things efficiently. When I saw this book the day before yesterday, I felt she was crazy. Of course, freedom of speech is basic right but I felt very sad to see these kind of books. Maybe such person was taught high perfomance of brain is most important value of life. If there are such kinds of books in book shops, Japan might be over.

Recently I like japanese alchol(sake). Good tasted japanese sake tastes excellent with cold. I like my hometown's sake "i so-zhiman " which is mean to be prouding seashore. Before, sake at shizuoka is not famous but about decades ago, shizuoka yeast was invented and sake at shizuoka become to be famous aroud japan. I bought it when I went back to shizuoka this winter. It costs 1300 yen(about $10). The taste of it is like a wine.

Do it !

Recently, I've come to think that if I want to criticize someone, it's better to do it by myself. If I criticize someone, I felt bad and furthermore it didn't go better because they couldn't do it. To spend time with criticizing somethings is waste of time.. To be on the side of people who always criticize someone or something or not is up to us.

About TPP

Now in Nikkei newspaper, there is a column of Carla Hills and I like this articles. This nikkei column is called "watashi no rireki-syo" meaning that someone is chosen and  he or she write down their life story every day during about 1 month. I liked these columns because there are some good wisdoms. In today's article, she recalled about the memory of US-Japan car trade episode and she said that she insisted  fair competition is good for both country and both companies, and if there is some restriction about trade (custom), it brought company's weakness in a longrun. It is very good concept. But why she at that time? because in today's newspaper's top article are TPP, and nikkei newspaper strongly support TPP. But anyway, her concept is very splendid, I think so.

About life

Recently, I sometimes think about the happiness of my life. Maybe that is because I had a family and my house and our child and feel very happy. First time I had thought such a thing was maybe when I triped mainly to Europe 20 years ago, and I felt that the quality of life is better than that of Tokyo, I mean that compared with Japan, the philosopy of life seemed to be based upon the happiness of life. In japan, their life is based on company or society (student go to cram school to enter good university, etc) and I grow up in such circumstance so I was shocked to experience such things. For "good and model" salaried worker, the proportion of work must be bigger in proportion to the period of time of company's man, but I often think what is "happy". My sense of value might be changed compared to what I was student 20 years ago. The sense of value might be different to person to person, and recently such books (about the way of life, for example, the way of

The life without TV

For about one and half year, we didn't watch TV because my wife prohibited swiching on TV since our baby was born on May 2009. (She think that it is not good for children to watch TV.) At first, I didn't acustomed to the life without TV, but soon became acustomed to that. Last week when winter holiday season(from Dec. 28 to Jan. 3) began, I watched TV but all of them were boring to me. The quality of TV program is very low and worthless. Indeed, I always watch internet streaming BBC, France 24, Aljazeera and get news from Google news, etc and that's enough if I waste time seeing worthless TV Programs. And I remembered the same thing I thought when I was university student that many of our college students seemed to be very fool because they read manga all the time and the level of their talk was very low level and I was very disapointed. Our college (Tokyo Institute of Technology) was not low level and indeed they were good at solving problems but there were few people

Recently thinking

Recently I often think about what is most important for me, especially when I was tired of working and lost my motivation (for ironing out the differences of opinions and failed). For me, maybe my starting point is the intention to know something new, to do something intersting, to acomplish something by my effort, to be excited! Maybe this is all. (The amount of wage and position is not so important for me if we can live carefully.) Sometimes I was at a loss what I am doing for, for what I want to do. And in such a case, I cooled down my head and ask for myself what I want to do for, then came back to the starting point and recoverd myself.
