blog - New Year's Assertions (4) - Investment




I swore to get 100 million yen by investing last year. This goal continues to be this year too. To get this goal, I have to research various topics thoroughly.


Chinese stocks are really good. They already gain almost 10 million yen. However, my target is 100 million, so I must try new challenge. For instance, I have to buy Brazilian stocks.




This assertion will be realized in the near future without a lot of efforts, I think.


Thank you, yen.

blog - New Year's Assertions (3) - ROCK-CLIMBING



I decided to climb the route of the level 5.12a or 2nd grade. It's actually hard to get. One who can climb that route is said as an advanced climber.

I'm now goint to a rock gym three times a week. To accomplish this goal, however, this is not enough. In addition to keeping this custom, I have to do more special things. They would be like below.

- Cutting down my weight by at least 2kg, taking proper diet
- Swimming at least 300 meter a week
- Developing my muscles by doing exercises
- Doing stretching almost every day
- Concentrating and never giving up


Besides, making a party is also important.

blog - New Year's Assertions (3) - ENGLISH



The third assertion is to get the perfect score on the TOEIC test. I think that this will be relatively easy to accomplish. Of course, getting the score is very difficult for non-native of English, but I already swore that I spare no pains to do that.

For that, I have to improve my English ability thoroughly. I have to do whatever I consider. For instance, I have to be good at speaking and writing English, not only listening and reading. I can naturally speak English fluently like a native speaker. And I can write tons of sentences on this blog.

Hopefully, I'll get the grade in March. However, I will not do that in March, I would continue aiming the perfect. This is my way.


Thank you, English.

blog - New Year's Assertions (2)



I have to get the perfect score on the TOEIC test by March this year. I started to study English almost two years ago. It's about time I get the result. Well, let me plan to get this goal from now.

- Grand Strategy

First, I make my listening skills perfect. To do that, I have to do the dictation thoroughly. Now I'm dictating TOEIC materials at least three hours a day. Until March 25th, the day of the 129th TOEIC test, I need to continue this task. The more I dictate, higher the possibility of getting the pefect is.


- Output Strategy

Needless to say, getting the perfect requires the perfect output skills, that is speaking skills and writing skills. Of course, I know. So, I'm writing this blog almost every day and I'm taking Christie's lesson almost every week. However, to make these skills better, these actions that I take now are not enough. I need to do something more. I think it.


- Vocabulary and Grammar Strategy

To getting the perfect, I need to enrich my vocabulary and grammar more. It goes without saying. I'm meaning to read a vocabulary book again and review the grammatical book again. I have to make me know the words perfectly which are on TOEIC test. I have to make me solve the questions perfectly which are on TOEIC test.


I just do it.

blog - New Year's Assertions (1)



I made New Year's plans last week. From now, I'm inclined to describe those.

1. Writing a book
2. Getting the perfect on TOEIC
3. Rock-climbing on 5.12a or grade 2
4. Making a million dollar by investing
5. Enriching working experience (Changing a job)
6. Getting married or getting a girlfriend


First, I'm meaning to mension the first assertion. I had been wondering to write my own book since a college student. I once was a poet. I once was an enthusiast of love. I wrote tons of letters to my lover. I read tons of books on various topics.

After working, I continued to keep my diary too. My thought went from here to there. My uniqueness was demonstrated. Plus, I liked to write emails on business. I wrote tons of emails. Those were mainly strategic assumptions. I was a strategist.

My dream of being a writer some day is realizing now. I am realizing my dream now. I accomplished to get English skills by getting a high score on the TOEIC test. I accomplished to make a money by investing too. It means that I can write something.

Writing something makes you having clear thought towards the subject. For example, writing how to work well makes you a better worker. That is, in the process of writing you get various knowledge and systematic thought. That makes you valuable.

I'm going to write my book in Japanese, but someday I write the ones in English too. At that time, my English skills is extraordinary high, I suppose. And, the first subject would be kind of an autobiography. I would write about my life, my thought, my methods, my dream, and so forth.


My dreams are surly realizing.

blog - Christie's two-hour-lesson



I took Christie's two-hour-lesson of English today. It was mainly comprised of free conversation. And she pointed my grammatical errors in conversation. That was very valuable for enhancing my speaking ability.

I can take this two-hour-lesson this time as a consequence of a student, who take her lessons after me, have been on vacation, but I'm meaning to take this type of lesson from now on if there is a chance.

I'm serious about increasing my English ability, especially speaking skills. To do that, I can get rid of the others, even the time of love. It's my life. It's the way that I live on. I would be concentrating on boosting my English skills.


Thank you all.

blog - Thesaurus



New Oxford Thesaurus of English is very valuable to me. This dictionary is contained in my electric dictionary. I found this fact only a month ago. Before that, I had not known that. It was too bad. That is, this dictionary can enhance my writing skills effectively.

Depending on this dictionary too much is, of course, bad, but using this dictionary with good mannars gives me numerous treasures. To write sophisticated passage, one of the most important things is to avoid using same words on end, you know. And to do that, using a thesaurus is the best solution.

At the same time, I can enhance my vocabulary efficiently. For instance, looking up the synonym of "sophisticated" brings me the knowledge of how to using "advanced", "highly developed", and "elaborate". This makes me better at English.


Thank you, again.

blog - Death Note 2 (Having a confidance)



I've noticed the fact: the most important thing of what I gained as a result of reading Death Note is having confidence. That means that Light, a main character in this story, has a totally strong confidence in himself and this fact gives me a perspective. That perspective is that one who have a confidence in himself can do everything he can imagine.

This is very important. By the way, I'm now reading a book concerning coaching. This book says the same thing. That is, being confident of himself means expanding his comfort zone and lifting his limit that he made before. Light and L are good example of this. Especially, Light is extraordinary. He get lost his own memory to overcome his rival, and he has a perfect confidence in doing that. So, the history was changed.

Being too confidant is of course dangerous, but having a confidance is very valuable for everyone. For instance, for me, if I have enough confidant in myself, I can do the following: getting the perfect score in TOEIC test easily, making one million dollar straight away, and rock-climbing on the hard way straitforwardly.


Thank you.

blog - Compound sentence



This morning I found my weakness in listening to English. That is, I can't catch a compound sentence once. "Compound sentence" is, of course, the sentence consisting of more than two single sentence. Listening complex compound sentence requires two things: memorizing the first sentence, and listening to the second sentence.

Memorizing the first sentence is more difficult than I expected. I'm now using a TOEIC material that is for advanced learners of English. And that book made me found that fact. I couldn't hear the question that contains a compound sentence. I was stuck in understanding the first sentence, and I couldn't listen to the second sentence well.

However, I found this fact this morning, so I can do that. Most important thing is not being stuck in the first sentence and concentrating the tape playing now. This is very important. And this requires the quickness of thinking more and more. I'm now aware of this fact, so I'm confidant of getting a job. I'm confidant of getting over 930 points on the next TOEIC test.


Thank you.

blog - Death Note



Do you know "Death Note"? It's a Japanese comic title. It depicts a note, which is a central topic of this work, the Death Note, and a psychological warfare between main characters. When I read this cartoon at my parent's house in the New Year's vacation (I bought all works in 12 volumns), I was really excited at this fascinating story.

Well, I'm already 31 years old. However, the good work is the good work forever, and whatever. Even manga is often a masterpiece. It's not matters that its form is. So, I'm going to mension what I obtained from this work from now.

The first thing that I have to say about this work is that this work is brilliant suspense, like a hollywood movie, say, "The Silence of the Lambs" or "Matrix". There are some unrealistic Death, who live in Hell, but the reality is enough.

Besides, I was entirely impressed with the intelligence of the heros, that is, Light and L. They are totally insightful and sharp. They think deeply and futuristically. The most important thing that I was affected is that I can do that too. I thought I venture with my intelligence. My possibility is not limited.


Thank you, death note.

blog - The Office

I have to write about "The Office" seriously.

The fascinating points, the negative impact to me, and so on.

blog - "Second Thought"

I'll claim that the importance of "Second Thought" soon. "Second Thought" is brashing up the first thought and is required to be systematize.


This is a memo.
