Sleep and Memory

A pianist made sleeping-time shorter and made practicing-time longer.
But he was not able to become better pianist.
Then he made sleeping-time longer, and he was able to become better pianist.

Also two babies were taught how to use a toy, and one baby took a nap, and other baby did not take a nap.
And after a few hours, a baby who took a nap has memorized toy's use way, but a baby who did not take a nap has not memorized it.

In short, when sleeping-time is longer, memory ability becomes better.

[鮎釣り]

[鮎釣り] (英文をgoogle翻訳しました。)

Exploitation

This photo is one of Bill Gates's houses.

The year 2012 total assets of Bill Gates is about 5 trillion yen, and I feel anger by hearing it.

If Bill Gates gets its total assets by only oneself, I cannot criticize him.
But nobody can get its total assets by only oneself.

Why could Bill Gates get its total assets of about 5 trillion yen?
Its reason is his "Exploitation" from his employees and his consumers.

I think that the assets obtained by the "Exploitation" should be returned to employees and consumers.

And I think that the "Exploitation" is crime.
So I hope strongly to make the law that reduce the "Exploitation".

Balance Sheet

I think that the life is Balance Sheet.
When we get something, we lose something.

I think so.
