Accomplishment

Hi everyone,

Thank you always for visiting my blog!
I am teaching today but my two students did not show up probably due to their busy schedule. Though I am wondered, I am quite excited about the Leafcup 4th Anniversary party. It is so amazing to know that the our wonderful cafe & school is already 4 years old. I just remembered a quote by Francis Wayland "It is by what ourselves have done, and not by others have done for us, that we shall be remembered in after ages". It reminded of the Leafcup and its staff who are the achievers recognize challenge and do something about it. I would like to congratulate and wish all the best for all staff, teachers, chat hosts, students, customers and finally prospective students!

Given the idea of accomplishment derived from the quote above and about the fact that Leafcup is having its 4th Anniversary, I am completing it by saying 'imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth' by Napoleon Hill. So if you want to accomplish something, all you need is to imagine and turn it into accomplishment with your effort. That is what I need to do now for my study!

Good luck for everything!

Chatting

Hi Everyone,

Thank you again for visiting my blog.
It is good to feel the warmth outside. In the other hand, the hot weather is, however, tiring. It feels like the hotness takes away my energy and mood to accomplish more. But I have met good people today inside a building that I had fun chatting without suffering from the heat . I found in these days that chatting is quite a fun activity. Many of my friends think that chatting is like chatting on Skype, MSN or Yahoo messenger etc which is also a fun thing to do. But I often stress them that in fact, chatting can be talking face to face which is more enjoyable.

We enjoy from the talking and understand each other from chatting face to face about who we are, what we do and how we see the world. It is also one way for me of understanding Japanese people, culture and value they have. It is very interesting to hear many different opinions and various kinds of topics. Nevertheless, everyone I meet has something in common which I found it very interesting. Everyone avoids persuading me about their true opinions. That is one of the aspects of the uniqueness in Japanese attitude, according to my experience.

Anyhow, I am able to find it quite comfortable to chat with any Japanese person. I am okay to feel discomfort as well during the chat with anyone or else. After all, chatting is one way of learning and allowing yourself to be liberal. This is, I think, the foundation of our life.

Tokyo tower, sakura blossoming and feeling love

I felt a bit excited during these two days because my mother and grandmother came to Tokyo visiting me. I was just busy having a little time for sightseeing or fun etc. But today I went to Tokyo tower followed by Yojoji temple with them. It felt so good and exciting to let myself to enjoy life a little bit. My mom and grandma were also very happy as they were able to have an observatory view of all Tokyo as well as praying at the shrine. My grandmother said she could feel peace when she is next to the sakura trees in the shrine atmosphere.
I am writing this blog with the energy that I felt spending time with our loved ones is power-enhancing opportunity for you.
We all say 'we are busy' or 'no time to meet our mother or family', in fact no one of us realizes how important and helpful for us to be close to our family. Now I think being close to someone and loving someone will let us to be happier and prevent from depression or stress.

If you have not meet or talk to your family for a quite long, then I hope this blog reminds you to do so. It feels good!
