Terrible earthquake

It was the biggest earthquake I've ever experienced in my life.
I'm glad that friends and my family are safe even though I'm really
sorry for people who have lived in the serious area and people who have
family or friends there. I don't know what to do so what I can do now
is to pray for them and Japan.

This is a big challenge for Japan but I strongly believe that Japan will definitely
be able to make our lives better than before!! We have had 2 atomic bombs, often
have typhoons, earthquakes and so on. However, we got all them over and are living
well. Therefore, what I need to do is not to keep feeling down but to keep hoping that
we can get this over!!

Also, many prays from all over the world really moved me.
I can't thank all of the people enough.

Living in differences

I finished writing a report for my part-time job.
I could learn uncountable things from the job during only
a year and a half. I will never forget those great experiences.

What I have learned from daily works is mainly as follows:
- how to give good presentations with slides
- how to write emails appropriately
- how to facilitate meetings with people who have different backgrounds

Those above will definitely be useful tools when I start working.

One of the most important things I have learned is to realize that
questioning every aspect of everything, having my own opinions
about them and discuss other people with them are super exciting!!
Since I used to play tennis and drink almost all the time in my university life,
I had not been used to use my brain like now. Therefore, what I realized above
was so new and brought me a lot of excitement and freshness.

Another one of the most important things I have learned is to realize that
we need to live in differences. As we have definitions of various things such as
country, ethnicity, gender, age, race and so on, we usually are biased by those things.
Therefore, first, I thought we need to communicate with them without considering
the definitions, but it seems to me that we can't avoid thinking the definitions
because they already exist.

Now, I got an idea, which is led by a professor's lecture (I forgot his name, though).
As we can't escape from the definitions, we need to decide and accept to live in differences.
The important thing for us to live in differences, in my opinion, is to respect others as each
one of us has own culture created by a lot of backgrounds.

A warm day

I took a nap for 3 hours today!!
It's warm today and it seems that Spring is coming soon:)
Since I got back to a real life, I have had nothing to do recently.
I can do whatever I want now but will think I want to do what I want to do
next month, because I'm going to start working next month.

I don't want to feel and say that I want to go back to my school life.
I should try to put all my effort on my job first to make me satisfied with
the situation I will be in.

Anyways, I'm enjoying the last spring break:)
