I did no work today

To tell you the truth I really did no work at my office today. I'm sorry about that. I, however, did research the newest methodologies of software development and develop my new trial product for my company. Today was a good day for me.

There was something today that my friend challenge me to competing a dictation of the speech by Steve Jobs at the YouTube. That was welcome. I had felt the time is coming that I should start doing dictations these days. I think I would win. My concentration to English is high level in my life.


Thank you.

Once I was a child

Once I was a child. I harmed someone. I did wrong things.

Once I was a bad person. I made bad decisions. I walked on a wrong way.

Today, I am new. I am a new me. I am eager to be a good person. I am eager to be a valuable person.


I do it.

iCon is completed

I had completed reading my first assignment, 'iCon'. That experience was really exciting. I devoured the ENGLISH book like a Japanese book at the middle of night. I can do that. No matter though I am, I can do that.

I would keep doing that. I can do it.


Thank you.

I'm weak

I'm weak. Weak. Weak enough.

I swore I never drink again. And never smoke again. However, I am here. I drunk again. I smoked again. I think I am weak. My resolution is fragile.

But! I swear again that someday I quit drinking and smoking. I am a real person. I am a person who determine to be a nice person. The dream would come true someday. I hope that.


Thank you.

I bought sandals yesterday

I went to Suidoubashi to buy new sandals. My old sandals was broken. Then I've needed new ones. At the Sakaiya, a famous outdoor goods shop, I was looking for reasonable, powerful sandales. And then I bought ones for about 9,000 yen.

I'd like to say here is a good one is good. Until now, I've only wore cheap ones. Like 2,000 yen sandals. My new sandals is, however, very brilliant. It's light and comfortable to fit. I love that. I could walk with this like forever. I realized that a good one is really good.


I never forget that.

Thank you.

I have to get driver's license

I have to get driver's license because I expired my license over the due date. I was shocked. Very, very shocked. It's becausetThat would cost me huge time and huge money. I was careless and my mom was too. The notice form the center of driver's license was ignored by my home. But I was wrong. I was wrong that I didn't notice the due date.


Then I would be eager to get driver's license again. I'm intelligent and earnest. It would be done.

Thank you.

blog - Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

This is a Steve Jobs word. The word was spoken to the graduates of the Stanford University in 2005. Steve Jobs for one is one of the most brilliant person in the Information Technology industry. And in so far Steve Jobs is my favorite character in business.


Thanks God for meeting him.

Thank you.

I bought shoes too

At Shinjuku, I bought black leather shoes for business. I had had similar ones, but that was so dirty and broken. I am an thirty-one office worker, so I should wear the good shoes. It's manner. It's a point that makes one great.


Thank you.

I bought a shirt too

At shinjuku, I bought a brilliant shirt too. That shirt is a so-called Cool-Biz one. White and red stripe as well as a beautiful collar. That cost about ten thousand yen, but I am very satisfied with this one.


Cool-biz, thank you.

Writing like a junior high

I intend to write this blog like a junior high school student for a minute. That makes my foundation of English steadier. That makes my English ability wider.

So, everyone and future myself, Don't be disappoint by my sentences in this blog.


Thank you.

New apparatus

I finished the job by six o'clock, then I went to Shinjuku to buy new apparatus. A table lamp is that. The other day I wrote on this blog that I need an electric dictionary with back light in order to ease my eyes. I was too eager to look over my electric dictionary to look up new words.

I went to Shinjuku and brought a table lamp for about 5 thousand yen. This lamp would decrease the heavy burden on my eyes instead of an electric dictionary with back light. Why didn't I buy that one? Well, it's because the electric dictionary which I intend to buy was so expensive, forty-five thousand yen!


In summary, my new table lamp is lightening around my table at home. And I am thinking that this environment make my eyes better. Thanks God.

Thank you.

I'll win

First, I will complete reading 'iCon' within the next week. To do this I concentrate myself thoroughly. Quick reading is necessary.

Second, I quit smoking and drinking completely. And I will sleep early and awake early and walk fast. I don't have a plenty of time. I have something to do. Time is money.

Finally, I would eat a lot of vegetable and fruits. Eating raw vegetable and fruit make me more effective. This is completely clear. I run that direction. I am a fruitarian. I am a vegetarian.


I'm sorry.

Next step

What am I going to do? Nichole will return to her home, so every week English lessons is over. I feel empty. I feel something wrong.

BY THE WAY, I have to do my best. Keep reading a lot of books and keep listening the news. That's it. That's all I can do now.


Thank you.

Think different

'Think different' is important.


I am reading the book that written about Steve Jobs, who is a founder of Apple Computer and produced the iPod. He is truly an entrepreneur. He is a revolutionist. At 1970, he was a youngest billionaire in the world.

'Think different', which was a copy of Apple, produce enormous profits. 'Think different' means not drop ordinary whose profit is zero. As he, I wanna be a valuable person.

Thank you.

- Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences (A. H. Maslow)


These books give me wide experiences of English. Thank you.

Nakata was certainly there

Nakata was not certainly good at the World Cup in Germany. However, I don't say only but he was a great player for soccer of Japan. His style was kind of brilliant.

I have more things what he is, but my English ability is poor then I say "That's it".


Thank you.

Mr.Nakata

Nakata, Japanese soccer player, proclaimed to retire from soccer at his homepage several days ago. He was a greatest soccer player in Japan. His statement disappointed almost all Japanese, but his contribution to Japan soccer is kind of praised, I think.


Good job, Nakata.

Thank you.

Werther

As I was a college student, I read "Werther" over and over again. I felt Werther as me, and I was strongly fascinated by the grace of the sentence.

Werther said, "If people would only warn themselves daily, that one cannot do anything for one's friends but leave them their pleasure and add to their happiness by sharing it with them. Are you able to give them one drop of comfort when their souls are tormented by a violent passion or crushed by grief?"


He is good at using 'but'. I should learn that.

Thank you.

England was defeated

England was defeated by Portugal the day before yesterday at the World Cup. It was shocked for me as well as Brazil's loss. My World Cup is almost over.

By the way, I bow something today. I completely quit drinking for some time. And I am completely eager to concentrate myself to realize my dream. It's because I drunk on the last Friday and I lost myself again. Then, I had a terribly hangover on the Saturday and! Sunday.

I lost two days! I lost my important time to do something important! And, in the English class with Nichole, nevertheless it's three times to end, I am completely unuseful. What a fool I am!


Sorry.
