As you have already known, Michael Jackson passed away several days ago.
When I watch this video, I cannot help thinking of his life.
I suppose he was raised strictly by his father. He might be fun only when singing,
but he seems to have been under complicated personal reasons.
His will was announced to the public which contains an important information about
his legacy. He never wanted to left it to his father though allowing to left it to
Diana Ross.
He attained fame and made a fortune. However, was his life happy? Nobody knows.
What I can only say is that he made many people very happy.

Hiroshi Mikitani is one of the most successful entreprenuneur in Japan. He is a guru of Japanese
internet business, e-commerce in particular, and the business elite in his generation. His academic
background is superb. He graduated from Hitotsubashi University and Harvard Business School
which are famous for top scool of the management. (By the way, both these school colors are
crimson, therefore corporate color of his company, Rakuten, and his own proffessional baseball
and soccer teams(Rakuten Eagles and Vissel Kobe) are the same one.
Recently, he wrote his first book "Golden Rules of Success
". Today I bought one and am reading.
My impression of this book is "ordinary" or " at an avarage level".
Certainly, what he says in this book is very intresting, exciting and encourage those who want
to be vital. The phrase of this book is strong and full of his confidence.
But, but, some critical factors might be lacking in this book. What is that? I don't know.
I like and respect him. However this time, I evaluate his book severly.
