blog - think BIG

"Think different" is a catch copy of Apple. Now I say this: "think Big". Drinking a grande soy latte at a Starbucks Coffee today, I was thinking what I am, what I should do from now, and what I can do in my life. People say "anything is possible", or "if you desire, the dream will come for sure". Okay.

I thought I had a dream, or I was a man who could set the dream and could proceed toward that with a strong determination. Okay. Partly right, but partly wrong. There's possibility that I misunderstood what the dream was. Yes, I had a dream, but was that true? Was that real one that the person can achieve in his life? There should be concrete paths and realistic milestones.

"Think big" is a wonderful slogan, of course, to make the dream big and make the life big. But there should be supplement to make it sure. There should be key points to make it really happened. That's an absense of my dream. That's a shortcoming of my planning.

So, I need to make a concrete plan to proceed on my way step by step. Leveraging my strengthes and experiences, I must put clear goals and milestones into the schedule. I'm a stragegist. I'm a practitioner. I'm a man who thinks big. (You know I understand this sentence is wrong in grammar.)


Let's roll!

blog - I've noticed

I've noticed that I needed to concentrate on what I should do more and more. That's not enough currently. Look at Obama. Look at men who have achieved something they want. For instance, what I've done for this three years is just studying English, changing a job, and getting old. I became 33 years old yesterday! What an age! What in the hell am I!

But since I noticed, I cannot help but try to do, do my best, and focus on what I should do. My youth has gone, but so what? I have a healthy body and mind, and more importantly a dream I cannot help but yearn for. I will be a man who I want to be. I will prove to myself that I can do that. My left leg hurts due to an unknown cause, but I don't care. I cannot help but proceed ahead.


My new era has been started.

blog - Let me introduce myself #2

Rather than building well-defined sentenses to introduce myself, sometimes it's better to list up key points with bullets. So, let me do that as below:

• Having 10-year experience in the industry
• Mainly Windows-based technologies
• Through a programmer to a project manager
• Very good people skills

As major parts, above mentioned are enough. So, from now, let me introduce projects I've engaged in ever. Or, let me do this on another blog, because a lot of jargon will appear there.


Let me...

blog - YES, WE CAN!

Obama won in Washington, Nebraska, and Lousiana with a huge margin. This is what I expected for in February 5th. Finally, the time has come. America is choosing a right person who brings a true politics to the world. America will change. In turn, the world will need to change.

In Japan, I cannot find a right person these days who will bring a right politics to the nation. But if people desire to change, a change agent will definitely come. This is a law or principle of the nature. So, I will continue to see the American politics, while I'm looking for a right person here in Japan.


Yes. We can.

blog - Let me introduce myself #1

Sometimes people need to introduce themselves to public, friends, and interviewers. The most effective way to make a good speech is to prepare it in much advance as much as possible. "Be prepared" is a golden word for everyone. So, let me do the same for my future use!

I'm from the company working as a project manager. I have more than 10 year experience in this industry as a programmer, systems engineer, and project manager. At the previous company, my technical area hinges on Windows technologies, like the OS, C#, or SQL Server. But after joining the current company, I uses UNIX and Java technologies in the field of enterprise application.

In addition to technical aspects, I have a broad range skill set, like project management and business analisys ability. As evidented by my qualifications, I never stopped learning a new thing, and challenging a new thing. For instance, recently I've had a lot of opportunities to talk with Indian people, and I found some day that I needed to learn their culture and history in order to make the communication better. So I started reading books written about their culture and history. In fact, that made sense.

Regarding English, I've also never stopped learning it. Starting to study it three years ago at a time I noticed the significant importance and finished another learning, I got a desired score on a English test and still now I'm learning it at a daily basis. In a sense, I like studying.

My charcteristics are proactive, hardworking, and intelligent. I go to the customer, rather than the customer comes to me. I'm hardworking at the same time I know when hardworking is necessary. I'm intelligent in the sense of predicting the future with deductive and inductive thought, or with logical and intuitive senses.


Next, I'd like to talk about projects I engaged in ever.

blog - Hey! Americans!

I'm disappointed. I'm really dispappointed at the result of the election, especially in California and New York. What a nation American is. If they choose Clinton, the world continues the current posture, ending the world destruction.


I'm really disappointed at you, American people!!!

blog - Reading various books

I found some day that it was useful to read books in the different fields, like information technology, psychology, rock-climbing, and so on. Doing so, I can get different type of words and expressions. That makes sense in enriching my vocabulary and my speaking skill. And so I've started reading various books intentionally.

From a book written about information technology, I can get words in the industry and I can use them at the office with Indian colleagues. From a book written about psychology, I can get words that I can use when describing my life and the world. From a book written about rock-climbing, I can get words that I can use when describing dairy lives and motions of my body.

That's a key to enriching my English ability. That's a key to accomplishing a higher goal. That's a key to knowing the world better, and making the life better and more wonderful. And so I've got this place and determined to walk on this road.


That's a key.

blog - What I Ask For To American People

(Obama got Kennedy's endorsement)

What I ask American people is to understand the fierce urgency of the moment, that they face severe difficulties to gain respects from other nations, that they fall into moral turbulence brought by their past arrogance.

There's the only way to rise up from the harsh situation: Show what they are changing, show what they are demanding change, and show what they are choosing the icon of change. They should realize that the way is the only way. I beg them to start changing their course.


God bless Americans!

blog - What I will do in Feburary

It's already decided what I will do in the next month in the Business Area. That's what I couldn't do here in Fukuoka due to a constraint of place, and what I've been thinking to want to do in the very near future. That's needed to make my goal a reality. That's needed for me to proceed to the next step with strong confidence.

I will build my system at home. Concretely speaking, I will procure servers that will be infrastructure of my new systems, and I will develop my systems that will make the world better. That's an ambitious task and goal. But I have to do. But I must go on. After that, I will first judge my vision and my possibility to make my dream realize. The challenge has come closely.

For that, I've prepared. To do that, I've studied and experienced technical and practical things. If I cannot do the thing actually, I will have to admit my defeat. I will be a loser. However, I've already known that dream will be realized if the man have strong determination and strong enthusiasm. I've already known that if the man put his efforts on the right place, the goal can't help but come!


Come, come!

blog - Strategy for mastering English

Again, I want to make a plan for getting a level of a Master of English. After getting 950 points on TOEIC, in a sense, I've been losing my direction. I've had no clear goals, no clear objectives, and no clear light to lead me to the next level. Although I'm putting my efforts on this area more than 3 hours a day, I'm supposed to be greater than current "me".

So, now, I need to list up what I should do in this three months. And they should be concrete and challenging. Also, I need to build up my vision on this area again along with firing passion and clear objectives. I shout now that the time has come!

VISION >>>>>>
As a professional IT engineer and a global investor, I will obtain a certain level of English abilities. I need to communicate with various people in English, I need to make a thoughtful speech in front of various people in English, and I need to teach various people what I've got in my life in English. So, in this year, I will be able to read a English newspaper without a dictionary, I will be able to speak with native speakers fluently like them, and I will be able to write various pepars with clear and sophsticate sentenses.

BASIC STRATEGIES >>>>>>
1. Reading newspaper more than 1 hour a day, checking unknown words with a dictionary.
2. Reading a book with high concentration more than 2 hours a day, using a pen and a notebook.
3. Speaking English in front of people or a video camera more than a half hour a day.
4. Thinking in English more than a half hour a day on bus, in bath, and on the roads.
5. Studying grammar again, reading the grammatical textbook that I've read three times.
6. Writing English in my blog more than once a day, concentrating on using high-level expressions.
7. Completing reciting "I Have A Dream" before leaving Fukuoka.


The time has come!

Fukuoka - Everything ends, so I do.

(Umegae-mochi, again)

The day of leaving Fukuoka is coming. I've learned tons of things here in Fukuoka, and I've improved myself in various fields. I was happy. I was happy to come here and live here and struggle with people together here.

In some days, the final tales will be talked in this blog. The secrets will be revealed finally. The resolutions for the future will be swore again. I love Fukuoka. I love everything I've seen here. I was a very fortunate person in the world.


The day is coming.

blog - Business Area

As I wrote before, this year is a critical one for me to establish my foundation of a new business. First, I have to make my previous knowledge and experiences more strong for closing the goal. Next, I have to start planning an actual step-by-step plan to make it realize. Now is the time.

At the same time, I feel the need to enrich my English vocabulary and expression thoroughly, since writing these sentences, it looks like sentences that a child write. That's disappointing enough. So, pursuing my targets in Business Area, I need to keep my ground to secure my dreams.

Well, let's plan for the next two months: (These two months are critical for the area.)

<<<>>>
- Master ITIL
- Write a paper about the project
- Prepare for the next month

<<<>>>
- Master Java
- Start making a framework
- Strengthen project management area


Let's go!

blog - New Four Books in Investment Area

According to my new year's resolution, I bought 4 books in economic and investment area. The titles are as below:

1. The Truth of Structural Reform - The Dairy of Minister Takenaka Heizo.
2. The Coming Collapse of the Dollar and How To Profit From It.
3. Hubbert's Peak - The Impending World Oil Shortage.
4. India 2020 - A Vision for the New Millennium.

(Note: All are written or translated in Japanese, since I needed to grasp the content so quickly.)


I've already finished reading "The Truth of Structural Reform" written by a former Minister Takenaka Heizo of Koizumi Cabinet. I found out that if he had not been there, the revolution couldn't have happened. Prime Minister Koizumi and he played two major roles for the stage of the extraordinary revamp in Japan. He was not only a person responsible to Japan's economic side but also a person who could change the whole political processes that had made Japan stuck at all. This is am amazing book.

The next book, "The Coming Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from it", was a little disappointing. The destiny of dollar is well mentioned, but it seems like the writer has his own unfair opinion to gold. So, I quickly read the book today.

The oil one; I thought I needed to read this kind of book as a person who lives in the 21st century. The 21st century would be a century of fossil fuel and global warming. We human beings need to address these huge, catastrophic destiny in the century. So, I needed to read this book. At the same time, as a philosophic investor, I would make a difference in this area.

India one; I needed to know well about India and its economical future. Being an employee at an Indian company, I will take close eyes onto this subject. Also, as a worldwide investor, this country will be one of the most appropriate countries where I will put my money.


After these four books, I will add next four books into my book shelf.

blog - Great Masterpiece "The Art of Loving"

I've just finished reading the tremendously great book, "The Art of Loving", written by Enrich Fromm in 1956. I feel the necessity to write down the key points about love, and loving. There are surprisingly clear theories and convincingly concrete practices of love.

Now, let me write down the index first. After that, I'll mention the core essences and how to apply them on me.

1. Is love an art?
2. The theory of love
1. Love, the answer to the problem of human existence
2. Love between parent and child
3. The objects of love
Brotherly love
Motherly love
Erotic love
Self-love
Love of God
3. Love and its disintegration in contemporary western society
4. The practice of love


First, he mentions the availability of whether people can theorize the love. After that, like other arts, he writes the theory. Finally, he suggests the practice of love. I noticed that I cannot write what I want to say in English on this blog. Let's go the Japanese site.


Love is...

blog - America needs to settle the course

Now is the time that America has to settle the direction. If the people choose Hillary Clinton or other normal politicians, America will continue to be normal or getting destructive. On the other hand, if they choose Barack Obama, a real change agent, America will rise up from the darkness.

Seeing various news on this issue, I'm getting to dislike Hillary Clinton and her supporters more and more. They have a lot of negative campaigns to Barack Obama, while Barack Obama insists his own value. But, I believe American people and their conscience. I believe that they will elect a proper person for their president. That has a huge impact on the whole world.


The judgement day has come!

blog - Bood bye, Great Youngster!

One Indian guy left Japan for India this week. The guy is a brilliant and amazing man. He is definitely one of the smartest Indian guys I've ever seen. As well as he has good knowledge, he also has a good communication skill. He can effectively communicate even with Japanese who cannot speak English well. I asked him the knack. His answer: improving and adjusting the way of communicating. That's absolutely right.

He is planning to enroll a graduate school in Germany and be major in robotics. He graduated an Indian university of Information Technology, but he is eager to learn another scientific area. He would be a great scientist or launch his own business in future. And, we will meet again in the near future.

Generally, Indian people are friendly and modest, although in some situation they can be talkative and selfish, and arrogant. They will conquer this industry in not far future. And I feel necessity to communicate with them and fight with them. By the way, an intelligent Indian guy is really intelligent as he is.


Thank you, a great youngster!

blog - Motsu-Nabe

I went to a famous restaurant of Motsu-Nabe (Fukuoka's hot pot) I've been yearning for ever. Uploading the picture, the hot pot was amazingly delicious! I nearly lost my consciousness with the wonderful cow's innards.

All scheduled tasks are over. I had five dates, three casual parties and two something drinks. Beauties in Fukuoka certainly fascinated me. The women were certainly beautiful and cute. But, it seems like there were not a destined woman. I'm continually pursuing the indispensable piece of my life.

Anyway, dishes in Fukuoka were generally good, not bad. Especially hot pots and noodles are much more brilliant than other areas, like Tokyo. I will never forget this fact. I will never forget the memory of this spot. I will never forget the encounters with beautiful girls and the sequence.


Every planned task has been done.

blog - What remaining

(I ate an Indian food tonight.)

There are remaining things that I couldn't do in the period. So, I need to focus on the following things:

1. Write a paper about this project.
2. Have a meeting with the management of the customer.
3. Leave intimate after my leaving.


First, as I swore, I would need to write a paper about this kind of project, which is a maintenance and also huge project. I will gather a lot of opinions from various stakeholders in order to make it more valuable. Summarizing my this three months, I need to harness it to the future success of me and Japan. Because I'm a professional project manager. Because I'm a person who is eager to grasp anything to be a transforming person.

Second, I decided to set a meeting with the customer. As I mentioned earlier that there are two great leaders in the client's company, I will need to have a conversation with them about lessons learnt we can take back into. I want to be a partner some day again with this client, since the size of the system of the client is huge and the kind of the project which is suppose to need our kind of service provider. So, I will make a chance that we will make a deal with the client one day.

Third, although I suffered from unexpected incidents in Fukuoka here, as a whole I can say that the period in Fukuoka was very good for me. I've learned a new concept of love, I've gained a new kind of knowledge I've never gained ever, and I've achieved a new level of knowing English. And so I thank the project and the opportunity I got to be involved with this project. I was too happy.


My time has been accomplished.

blog - Surprising.. My back pain has gone!

As I described before, my right back hurts seriously. The cause, I guess, is mainly by rock-climbing, and due to my non-flexible back. Since I cannot quit this fascinating sport, I decided to do back stretching rigorously. Especially, from the beginning of the year I've spent more than one hour a day to stretch my back at night and in the bed.

Surprising! I found out that my back didn't hurt any more one day. The cause making this happen is clear; The pain has been caused by non-flexibility as well as the distortion. I found out one day before this surprising thing happened that my left back and leg was firmer than right ones. Since my right side back had pain, I had mostly stretched my right side back and leg. That's was partly right, but the pain emerged from the distortion too.

The solution was right. I had been going in the right way. One of my worries for my body has been solved almost completely. Then, I will just rigorously stretch my back and legs and just rigorously exercise to maximize my physical power.


The secret of body has been revealed. What an amazing...

blog - Ten-Year-Plan in Business

I have a dream that one day I will have my own company and conduct the operation with my friends with a great joyous happiness. I have a dream that one day I will be able to tell many youngsters about the faith and dignity of the life citing my experience and my challenges. I have a dream that one day I will stand on in front of the people who listen to me expecting a humorous and meaningful talk.

I will launch my own business in the near future. Also, even if it's not ready for that, I will do that at least in my thirties. I'm willing to fail, with pleasure. This doesn't mean I'm just masochistic or something. I just want to challenge my life and my destiny. I just want to take the experience into myself as a precious life event. I just want not to regret in the future not by doing this. And I also say this; Even if there's a failure, the experience will bring me more valuable assets.

So, now is the time to prepare seriously for the challenge. Now is the time to make real my dream I've been walking with. The business would be IT related business, like a software vendor or a consultant firm. For that, I'm now eager to gain various skills and experiences by working on various projects. As well as software, infrastructure skills and insights are preferable to go with in the future. I'll never give up. I'll never turn back.


The challenge has already begun.

blog - It seems like...

It seems like the life in Fukuoka will end. The contract with customer will end at the end of January. And there's no possibility that our successive company will fail and ask us again to remain here more. So, feeling sadness, I have to go.

The life of Fukuoka was brilliant. The encounters with various people were invaluable. The work here made me more valuable in the sense that I got new skills and new perspective. It's so sad to leave this place, but I have to go. And there will be new challenge in the place I'll head for. That's waiting for me.

One concern is that I will meet a girl this Friday and have Motsu-nabe at a famous restaurant. That's a promise since last year. She is a nice person and a beautiful woman. I'd like to see her again and have a fruitful conversation with her. One clear thing; I will give her an iPod I won at a party last year.


What I won here should be given again here. That's a philosophy.

blog - Everyday-Life: I MUST MOVE ON

The new month has started. The new life has started. One who has determined that he would do what he said in New Year holidays has to do the same in his daily life. Action is more desirable than thought. I was born in Eastern world, so I'm with paradoxical philosophy.

Anyway, I'll list up what I'm doing and I'll do in this month:

1. Chin-up 50 times a day
2. Stretching more than 1 hour a day, in the morning and evening
3. Writing blog in English
4. Speaking out in front of video
5. Reading newspaper aloud in the morning more than 1 page checking uncertain words with a dictionary
6. Reading a book in the bath
7. Climbing up and down the stairs of the office till 18 floors more than 2 times a day
8. Read a book using a dictionary and a notebook in the lunch time
9. Reciting "I have a dream" on the bus and at the time stretching
10. Start reading IT related books in order to prepare for the goal in the Business area


Hey, me. Please make sure that you surely do the things above EVERYDAY. Only by strictly following faith and determination, people can achieve their goals. Make sure that the dream will happen. Make sure that change will come to you. Make sure that one day you will be relax with your family and you will enjoy your own life.


It's started.

blog - The Audacity of Hope

I'm now reading a book, "The Audacity of Hope". Of course, Barack Obama wrote this book. And I'm reading parallel this book and "The Art of Loving". The former I read mainly in the bath. The latter I read at a Starbucks checking the dictionary.

This book has tons of difficult words and highly complicated background of US political world, so it's hard to read throughout without a dictionary. But, this book has more than 300 pages, and I want to finish this book as early as possible because the election has already started, so I don't use a dictionary at the time I read this book.

It's preferable to have several different kinds of type to read books. Some time I read it much carefully, getting the expression, learning new words. Another time I read it much faster, grasping the content, being familiar with the level of difficulty. Since I've just started, I cannot say a clear message. Nevertheless, I can say this: This is a great book.


I'm getting familiar with him and his stage.

blog - Great Victory For America, the World

I'm an enthusiast for Barack Obama, a candidate for American President. Today, he won the first caucus in Iowa at this election. And he did a great speech after his victory was clear. I think I'm happy to hear a great speech like this at real time. I think I'm happy to have a great politician like him at real time in spite of the fact that he is in a different country.

I hope America will continue to choose him at the successive elections. I hope America will choose him as the President of the United States of America. I hope he will be a president of the country and will make a difference in a revolutionary way. I hope America will rise up and live out the true meaning of politics under his regime.

The world is waiting for him. The world is waiting for truth, waiting for dignity, waiting for change making the world better. Although I'm Japanese and I a little envy American people in the sense of having the real leader, I hope this will surely happen. He is the first man to make real ideal democracy since JFK. I know this. I knew this.


The time is starting.

blog - What I did in 2007

You did so much for me this year. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year.

Thank you for your cooperation on this blog.

blog - Bonenkai tomorrow

My final Bonenkai is tomorrow. It will be held at an Indian restaurant, the reason of the restaurant is that there are many Indian guys in my department. Well, let me plan for this drinking as a professional business person, right?

First, I'll try to make a speech in English. It's OK to be failed. The ascent makes sense at almost all situations. Second, I'll try not to loose my consciousness. I'm A professional business person you know, so I have enough need to do so.

Above all, let me enjoy the situation as a peace loving person. Saying at previous threads, I've been reading "The Art of Loving", so I have necessity and reasons to give humor to people, to show my pure character to people, and to give something warm to the people.


I was dreaming, I would be one.

blog - The Definition of Stages of Writing

I'm finding a knack of how to think in English. It takes long time, but I'm convinced that it's not impossible. Imagine the conversation which you are having with your colleagues in a few minutes. Imagine the sentences which you are writing your own blog at night. Imagining the actual situation in which you are using English is a key point to elevate your English ability to the next level.

Think English as much as possible. Think in English as much as possible. More importantly, make your environment to be a place where you can speak and write English actually. That's a final sword to beat out your final enemy. That's a reason why people who learn abroad for more than four years can utilize English freely. That's a reason why people who have just gotten more than 900 points in TOEIC cannot speak English.

Use your imagination fully. Use your concentration thoroughly. The door is close to you than expected. So, now is the time. Well, I'll write down the definition of stages of writing as below. This is useful for like me to climb up the stage like stairs.

1. Primitive Level
2. Well-Corrupt Level
3. Literature Level


This time, I dared to summarize that with three stages. At the first level, almost all Japanese and non-native people fit in this level, people can speak, write, read, and listen to English at a primitive manner. It means the people know only basic grammar as written in textbooks, and use only basic expression as described in dictionary.

At the second level, almost all native speaker fit in this level, people freely use their language at the various situation with expressions as not written in textbooks and dictionary. Slung, intentionally destructive forms are these. To rise to this stage, non-native speaker need to be eager to incorporate various aspects of living at the English environment, and study very hard than normal people expect.

At the final level, the people are like writers. The sentences are almost poem, literature, and great speeches. He must be a famous politician, a great teacher, or a exquisite philosopher.


Needless to say, I'm in front of the first level.

blog - The Art of Loving

This tremendous book was written by Erich Fromm, an American psychoanalyst. First, he reveals that the history of man is tightly bound to "separateness". People have struggled to avoid this separateness in the history by religious rituals, social unions, or contemporary conformity. All these, I've known, but not recognized so clearly.

Second, the final, ultimate key to open the door of avoiding separateness is love. Orgiastic states and conformity have been superficially working, but these are not substantive. Only does true love make sense. And the love consists of the following forms: care, responsibility, respect and knowledge.

I'm now just starting the book, but I'm convinced that reading this book will be my favorite time in the next two months. Slowly reading will be much better than reading it fast in this case definitely. I will earn exquisite values from this experience, and enrich my awareness of love and the life.


The new journey seems to be started.

blog - Books

I've finished a book, "Culture Shock! India", written about India and its culture, last week. Then I'm now reading a book, "The Art of Loving", written by Erich Fromm, a famous writer. First I'd have liked to learn sophisticated expression and rhetoric. It seems to me that this book is the best.

Second, I'd have liked to know something. As I mentioned, I think I've already found out something related to love. I've experienced several spiritual events in this area. I've thought this subject thoroughly, reading books, writing letters. However, I think a little that there's something I've never seen, never found, never felt.


So, I decided to read this book. As of now, the choice seems pretty good!

blog - Writing a paper

As you know, I'm planning to write a paper whose subject is related to the IT industry. The title would be likely to be "Adequate offshore development model between India and Japan" and "Best practice and the solid framework for managing IT maintenance projects".

To make it happened, I would need to do the following things:

1. Making me to be able to write advanced and sophisticate English sentences
2. Making me sharp in order to figure out the truth and structure of the subject areas


And to gain the abilities above, I would need to do the following:

1. Reading newspaper every day, more than one page, reading aloud, checking unknown words
2. Intending to write sentences on emails, on blogs and on documents with advanced expression
3. Making the schedule clear to make sure that the goal will be surely accomplished
4. Playing Go or Shogi in order to sharpen my brain and make it possible
5. Just doing it, NOW!


The sun is rising. I'm still rising.

blog - Should be professional

I love the customer now I engage. It's a subsidiary company of one of the biggest companies in the world. It means the company produces and maintains the largest system in the world in the sense that the company is a IT company only for the parent organization.

Sadly, however, I'm not involved with the client directly, which means my company contracts another IT company which contracts the client directly. This makes the situation more complicated. I'm a great IT consultant and a great customer centric person, but the chances I can show to the customer is getting less and less.

But I have to learn. I have to learn something from the customer as well as the hateful company. The job my company has had is being taken by the rival company. At first, I just hated and wondered. Why this incompetent company could take the position? The fact is getting clear. I should learn from that.

We can improve ourselves as long as we have attitude to learn our failures, our weakness. We can win next time as long as we make ourselves look forward to the future. This is universal principle we cannot ignore. And so I put this thought in my mind, and decide that I will improve myself more and even improve my company more. That's possible.


Here, I've come.

blog - What I should do

Let me wrap up what I should do in a month from now below. The areas I need to focus on are likely to be the following:

1. Optimization of speaking ability of English
2. Preparation of launching my business
3. Contribution to the customer with devoted attitude
4. Concentration on enhancing my possibility
5. Stretch on a daily basis


1. Optimization of speaking ability of English

As you know, the area where I think I need to focus is to speak English like a native speaker. I've committed that I would be English master in the future. The meaning is to discuss, to make a speech, to exchange meaningful conversation in English. I have spent my time to and I will spend my time to this area continuously. That's clear.


2. Preparation of launching my business

As you know, one of my goals in my thirties is launching my own business. To realize this goal, I've prepared to reserve knowledge, experience, and skills. I've done whatever I could do. It seems like the business is IT related business, because my ever experience is bound to this industry. For this two years, I'm preparing more thoroughly and incubating my sharp ideas.


3. Contribution to the customer with devoted attitude

As you know, I'm a professional business person. So even though I'm devoting my energy to the areas mentioned above, I'm contributing to the customer and making it different forever. That's my faith. That's my tenet. Plus, the customer I'm involved with now is a good customer and can bring me excellent experience I've never got.


4. Concentration on enhancing my possibility

As you know, one of my interests in the world is to enhance my abilities till the end of the world. I'm rock-climbing, I'm studying, and I'm dreaming. Today, I bought a book of how to learn Go. Go is a game, which is as famous as Shogi in Japan. I've thought I would get experience and concept of the amazing game one day. I feel the time has come.


5. Stretch on a daily basis

As you know, I'm a rock-climber you've ever seen. My goal in this area is to climb that wall at the Yosemite National Park. For this, I would need to be at least 1st grade in Bouldering and have good skills in lead climbing and rope handling. My body would be sharper and sharper, my strength would be stronger and stronger. So, I've been stretching almost every day in this home.


The days have come.

blog - About Barack Obama

Barack Obama is the greatest politician of the century since JFK. Seriously, I'd really and really like to see the truth, dignity, discipline, and greatness actually. I can find out them in him watching his speech movies at YouTube and Obama.com.

If he becomes an American President, the world will completely change I guess. I can say that with sure conviction.

blog - Switched!

I'll start writing my English blog mainly. There are enough reasons and necessities. First, I'm a little tired of writing the blog in Japanese, because I've written that too much. Second, I feel the time has come to write English itself, not translating from Japanese to English, because I've been already improved in the area of English.

I've been practicing recitation of English materials like the Constitution of Japan or I have a dream by Martin Luther King Jr. This practice seems to be very useful for me. I can almost speak English fluently with Indian colleagues and Japanese English speakers. So, now is the time to climb up the next step.

I can't find any limitation or difficulty regarding myself. I've been feeling there's nothing to hold down me or oppress me. My possibility is infinite, so I can travel freely everywhere I want to go. So, I need to be careful of what I'm doing, because the direction completely affects the results, which is whether I can get the fruit or not.


I can say this at least; The time has come.

blog - The Life Again

It seems like this Again series has been finishing. Six months has passed since I came here Fukuoka. I must gain soulful peace to my life and continue to challenge to the place where I should be. Life is rock. It's for climbing. It's for transcending.

Life is road. It's for keeping walking. It's for keeping climbing. Clearly speaking, I've got home-sick, got heartbreak, eaten too much Hakata-ramen, spent too much into not necessity, and so on. There might have been good things.

However, I can say that this one and half month have brought to me very, very precious experience. I've felt new revelation regarding work. I've felt new growth in the area of English. Above all, I could have taken some of new concept, philosophy, thought in my life. I'll go back to Tokyo in yearend, and make a big decision in my life.


Actually, I'm not sure what it is.

blog - Strategy for Kyushu Again

I didn't go anywhere last week, although last week was the fifth week for Kyushu Strategy. First I thought I went to Saga prefecture to eat Saga beef, but there was not much time while I was shopping and having my hair cut. I met someone on Sunday.

Some day, I will start a Kyushu trip again. But that should be started with more effective ways for the trip. I'm now in the southernmost island in Japan, which means that now is the best time to consider Japan itself again.


The last month of the year has started with me.

blog - English Strategy Again

There was an opportunity to talk in English for a long period today. I was able to speak English fluently as much as surprised. Of course, there were grammatical mistakes (I'm resolved that this kind of mistake continues in several years), and I got stuck when connecting "focus" with "get the job done" saying "I focus on getting the great job done".

However, this experience brought me a clear confirmation that ever painful training like reading, speaking, and reciting would be getting effective. As I'm surely improving, I'm convinced that I will be able to accomplish the desirable goals in the near future.

Now, I'm writing here about policies for this three months and concrete strategies to make myself more convincible in matters of mastering English below.

- English Policies (for this three months)
1. Aiming English Master
2. Focusing on speaking completely
3. Searching opportunities proactively and not hesitating
4. Eating fruits well, restraining alcohol, and sharping my thoughts
5. First getting more fluently, and after that enriching the vocabulary and expression

- Dairy Strategies (time allotment for a day)
Morning ~~~ Reading English newspaper (1 page) ~ 15 min.
On the bus to work ~~~ Recitation training ~ 15 min.
At the office ~~~ Intentional speaking, emailing, writing in English ~ 3 hr.
On the bus home ~~~ Whispering and thinking in English ~ 40 min.
In the bath ~~~ Reading a book ~ 30 min.
During stretching ~~~ Recitation (input) ~ 30 min.
At night ~~~ English blog (this), English vlog ~ 30 min.


Especially, I got a trouble in thinking of the usage of the time on the bus on the way home, because recitation doesn't work for a long time due to mainly concentration problem and I cannot read and write anything on the bus as I mentioned before. So, I decided to spend this precious time to think in English. I mean, I think in English about the night's vlog, email I will write to my friends at the night, and things that happened on the day.

Also, I won't take a time at Starbucks studying by myself in this three months, because I'd like to concentrate on actual business matters (now is the precious time to learn UNIX, Oracle, and Oracle EBS), and I think it's better to go for lunch with a nice Indian guy to talk in English.


I'm realizing.

blog - The last week of November has started

I thought the first four weeks in Fukuoka was a period of trial and error, and Fukuokanizing. The baggage I bought for the first time in my life, the first long business trip, the first Leopalace, the first huge maintenance project, the first solo travel in Kyushu, the first date with Fukuoka beauty, and the first bus commute.

And this week, I will make a big leap and accomplish various things as a result of these weeks. First, I will control my own life completely. And I will make myself adapt to the new life, utilizing know-how I've ever got. The objectives of life will be clear again, and I will go for them and put my foot ahead.

Of course, there were several mistakes, and that's not perfect. But I have been convinced that my choice was not wrong, my new attitude for the life was not wrong, and people can enjoy their lives with creativity and stance of enjoying their lives, completely.


I've been back.

Fukuoka - Mizutaki!

I went to eat Mizutaki, a famous Nabe food in Fukuoka, last Thursday, November 8th. Fukuoka is famous for Motsu Nabe or Mizutaki, which were both born in Fukuoka. So I thought I wanted to eat either of them. But, you know, Nabe is not good for a person to go for eating.

I could eat very good Mizutaki at a restaurant where Mizutaki was born. During the meal, people drink the soul three times, which varies according the progress, effected by the ingredient.


Next is Motsu Nabe!

Fukuoka - Great Strategy For Kyushu #2

The following is my plan for Kyushu.

11/3-4 Fukuoka（Done）
11/10-11 Nagasaki
11/17-18 Kumamoto
11/24-25 Miyazaki
12/1-2 Kagoshima
12/8-9 Oita
12/15-16 Saga
12/22-23 Korea

Note: Okinawa, I went there when I was a student.


Actually this plan won't be exactly the same, but I think I will accomplish to go to all prefectures and Korea. I think in Saga and Oita there are not many sightseeing spots. Well, through putting all schedule on this blog, it is clear for me to need to be strict on the schedule, so I will definitely go to Nagasaki this week.

Although there's House-tenboth, the major destinations are the following two: Dejima and Peace Park (including Nagasaki Museum of Atomic Bomb). In order to feel history, I will go to Dejima. In order to feel bloodiness of atomic bomb, Peace Park. Of course, it's clear that I will eat Nagasaki-chanpon. The feet is for walking, and the head is for thinking indefinitely.


I'm getting new.

blog - The New Era of English

I seems like the new system has been established in the new environment. I'll wrap up it here.

- English blog
- English vlog
- Recitation of English
- Read English aloud
- Read English books
- Work using English


Adding English email to these six practices, my next three months will be spent quite proactively. I think it will produce huge effects on my life as expected. There's no proof, but if the effect I can feel now is multiplied by time and the synergy, I can declare that I will be a true English speaker in three months.

First, the vocabulary will increase extraordinary. I can strongly say this because I'm now training my vocabulary through reading English newspaper, speaking my own words in English, reciting English more than two hours a day, and speaking English with my Indian colleagues on a daily basis.

Plus, three months later, as a true English speaker, I will make speeches all around the world, and write papers about my current business or Japanese culture. Finally, I will be reaching my ideal figure, and be challenging to the final battle. It will end with an appropriate finale I can bet whole myself on in my thirties.


It comes near here.

Fukuoka - I Never Read Books On Bus

I never read books on bus. Rather, I cannot do that. Cos, I would get carsick.

I commute by bus here Fukuoka. It takes 20 to 40 minutes one way, so it turns out that I spend around one hour inside buses. On the first week, there were a lot of interesting things or strange things, so I just heard my iPod on the buses. However, from this week, I've started a new method: Reciting Game. (I will mention the detail of this game on another day.)

The point is, the new life brings the new environment, and how efficient to embrace the new environment is essential for the individuals who have intention to be more efficient. Having good balance between creativity and disciplines is a knack to live their lives pleasantly, and speaking English more frequently.


It itself just makes the life happy.

Fukuoka - The Eighth Day

Actually there's nothing to write down here weekday, but I'll do that because it has lasted till today. One of the most fascinating things I've ever felt in Fukuoka is to be able to enjoy things like things that I can enjoy abroad. I mean I can here enjoy pleasure of exploring unknown towns, encounter with unseen people, and excitement to see the residents.


I wander I have been able to find what I thought I could find only abroad, here Fukuoka.

Fukuoka - The Seventh Day (Dazaifu - Climbing)

Fukuoka doesn't have special famous places except for the downtown and the bay area actually. I'll try to list that below.

- Dazaifu
- Mojiko Retro
- Yosinogari History Park
- Yanagawa


That's it, according to my guide book. Well, today I decided to go to Dazaifu. It's located in the near place to Tenjin, taking less than 30 minutes; It has Dazaifu-Tenmangu or Kannozeon-Temple, which deserves the major historical area in Kyushu from 7th century. I was walking eating the famous snack, Umegae-Mochi.

Dazaifu-Seichoato is just a park, and families came there and played baseball or something. I looked around Kyushu National Museum (I saw it just from outside), Kyushu History Museum, and lost my way at the last minute, and got my home. I wandered whether or not I should go to Mojikou, but eventually I had ramen and went to rock-climbing.

I think I go to rock-climbing once a week, since it seems like I cannot go there on weekday. It took more than 50 minutes to walk there, so I have to develop the way to get there with less minutes. I think this week I'll have Mizutaki and do various things to prepare for the journey to Nagasaki (Nagasaki seems a good place for sightseeing.)


Bye for now.

blog - Being Loved

I've already mentioned that Young Siddhartha had three abilities: thinking, waiting, and fasting. After getting these three abilities, he entered the forest of Kamara and learned the art of loving and being loved. From sublimity to normal, from dream to reality, he actually dropped down and realized. That was a very important period for him so that he found out the new concept of time.

My desire for possession has been completely controlled, my intelligence is very eager to earn new information, and the great wisdom desired would be obtained in a short time. As well as these, I've started feeling a new heartbeat and a new energy. Finally, I would encounter a turbulent period.

Fukuoka - haruy02, going around the world on foot!

I've already mentioned that this blog started when I determined to travel around all the world.

Mar, 2007 New York
Apr, 2007 London
Nov, 2007 Beijing


I was able to discover many things through traveling around major parts of the world such as America, Europe, and China last year. It seemed like it will be getting faster through this year's job transfer and TOEIC 950 from next year. Vietnam, Brazil, Russia, Middle East, and India were the candidates to travel. There are a lot of places I have to see in the world.

However, surprisingly, I got an opportunity to travel inside Japan prior to those. It looks like it says I should see inside Japan before starting to travel the world again. The other day, I couldn't recognize this fact clearly, but it's getting clearer now. It says, "I will explore all Kyushu, which is the most important island of Japan except for the main land thoroughly."


Light, and great enlightenment will be waiting for me.

Fukuoka - The Sixth Day (Hakata to Nakasu)

Today is my first holiday in Fukuoka, so I went to a nearby shopping center to buy detergent or something, did the laundry, and headed for Hakata Station. I bought a guide book of Kyushu area as well as books regarding work at a bookstore. Hakata and Nakasu is very near, so I decided to walk to Nakasu from Hakata.

Nakasu is namely night town, which was surprisingly talked at yesterday's drinking party. Since it's dangerous to walk around such a city at night, so I went there during daylight. That's as a level-headed explorer; as a visitor who talks the truth.

Nakasu was brilliant. I was really surprised at the appearance. Well, putting it away, I ate ramen at Ichiran, which has its restaurants nationwide. The soup was quite delicious.

I was supposed to go to rock-climbing in the afternoon, but it seemed like I was a little tired, so I got asleep at home. I think I will go to Dazaifu or Mojikou Retro tomorrow. I'd like to eat Mizutaki or something at night.

Fukuoka - Great Strategy For Kyushu

Being in Fukuoka means being in Kyushu. It also means being the nearest place to South Korea which is the next country of Japan. Opportunity increases opportunity. I thought I should aim at traveling all Kyushu and getting into South Korea. First, I need to see Fukuoka completely on this weekend. That is sightseeing.


Kyushu is a southwestern part of Japan, which played an important role in Japan's history.

Fukuoka - The Fifth Day

I was invited to a gathering at which my clients and their friends got together today. Fukuoka is a really nice town, isn't it?

The first week is over. I have a little concern on a contract matter of the project, but my knowledge has been smoothly increasing, and the great adjustment has been proceeded forward. I've embraced all challenges I encountered, and I expected a new drastic growth by pushing myself out of the comfort zone. Well, the attempt seems to be getting successful.

Fukuoka - The Fourth Day

Although there are no special things on weekday, today a drinking party was held at an Indian restaurant, where I had a really good time. I could make friends here in Fukuoka.

I'll buy laundry pins and a guide book of Fukuoka Saturday morning, and I'll run to a rock-climbing gym which is said the biggest one in western Japan in the afternoon, and at the night I would eat Mentaiko or something at a famous restaurant. I've embraced any challenges ever actively, so now I'm here.


I should take more pictures.

blog - Believe Yourself

I thought today again. Everything would come better.

Well, my biggest challenge is speaking English frequently, I was really disappointed at what I couldn't go well for this few days though, but continuous efforts on a daily basis(*) will make things happened, with some sort of trigger.


Believe it!

(*)
Now, 1) English blog, 2) English vlog, 3) reading English newspaper aloud, 4) speaking at work, 5) reading English books are my efforts these days. I'll continue these efforts at least three months.

Fukuoka - The Third Day

There was no special event today, but I could take a bath for long after the water system was fixed by the housing company. I think now is the time to fukuokanize myself.

My plan is to experience the first night move with my colleagues tomorrow, to update various things to my boss on Friday, and to get sleep early and see Fukuoka in earnest on weekends. A surprising encounter with Mentaiko would be waiting for me.


Eventually, the days of stretching and chinning up started.

Fukuoka - The Second Day

Well, there was a funny thing on the flight. A flight attendant suddenly gazed my face and she said, "Your eyes are really beautiful". I was surprised and said, "Th,, Thank you" with a pathetic voice. What should I have done? (Anyway, she was very beautiful.)


The second day in Fukuoka, there wasn't a special thing (although hot water was not available at my appartiment that I rent from Leopalace), so I'll write here about my new assignment in Fukuoka. I didn't understand what I heard yesterday, but today I could feel that I was really lucky to be assigned to this project.


The reason is the size is huge. This is reletively huge to my previous projects, so it's not huger than the system of New York Stock Exchange Center for instance. But over 40 CPUs, over 100 GB memory, and over 3 TB database, the project has. This is the tenth bigger than my previous projects's. The team for maintenance is also big, and the number is over 100 people as permanent staff.


This kind of information will be included in the Indian Tiger Mission.

Fukuoka - The First Day

I felt strongly that I would go to India as my first business trip, but there's a weird thing in the world. I came to Fukuoka, Kyushu, which is a southern part of Japan, on business. Honestly, I think this like a vacation, but as a professional business person, I'm meaning to adjust myself to any environment quite quickly.

To Fukuoka by the flight at 9:05. Got the key and went directly to the apartment. I was surprised at the cleanness of the room. But there's no kitchen knife or toilet paper, so I will have to buy many stuff at some time. Quickly went to the client place and got there at 2:00. Although I didn't know the town, everything completely followed the plan.

I joined three meetings, which is also my takeover, but there were a lot of unknown words, so I almost dropped asleep. There were many three characters which are like a department name or a product name. However, it would be fine eventually. More importantly, it seems like there will be a lot of opportunities to use English at work, so I will definitely make an appeal. At the end of the day, I took noodle at Ippudo.




Next is Mentaiko!

blog - The Eve Of The Departure

Now is the time my journey is started, which takes three months. My intention is to read a lot of books as much as possible, to be healthy as much as possible, to get better to speak English as much as possible, to proceed to write a paper and a book as much as possible, to turn all my efforts toward the center of the world or India, and so forth.

When seeing great people, I cannot help but make myself hard-working. I hope I can put my foot ahead as much as possible.

blog - The Road To Fukuoka

I'll go to Fukuoka on business for three months or a year. There are various reasons, but the major reason is that I thought I should go. My road has been almost determined, so I will just go my way walking on the road. Beyond the road, glory or shining future would be waiting for me.

Well, I think it would be getting less to write this blog. I've already accomplished all the things that I wondered to get by my 20s, which are "IT", "Accounting(Management)" and "English", and it's ready to challenge to the true goals. Now is the time.

All aspects seem to be concentrated. I've just finished watching all 10 seasons of "Friends" taking three months today; I'd just finished read the book written about my company yesterday; I'll have finished read the third book regarding Japanese culture. The last lesson with Christie was over, so I will put my foot into the new world.


To be honest I don't know, but I will do it.

blog - The Truth of A Dream

I've already mentioned that a dream plays a role that connects the past with the future, like a bond. Today, I'd like to explain the true power that a dream has, and the true appearance that a dream should be.

First of all, human beings want to be consistent themselves. Because human beings cannot live without that. Even the one who was Republican yesterday and is Democrat today has a kind of idea that ensures the consistence. Because the human is the human himself.

In case the one cannot catch the true figure, he would be hapless. Because a dream can make people not only happy but also unhappy. A dream stems from the past; A dream cannot stem from the illusion. A dream loves the true character of the person, but it's rare that the person knows the true character.

There's a way to realize the dream. Beyond all, wish it. Think ways to realize it; Be enthusiastic; Yearn for it; Strongly recognize that it is a part of one's life and that the life is impossible without it.


A dream is a word, a magic word making people move forward.

blog - Road To English Master: Concentration

I would probably focus on the following things in this three months.

- Japanese culture and history.
- Speaking on Vlog.
- Recitation.
- Research paper.
- English of IT.


Because I've walked step by step, I will be walking on to the next step, step by step.

blog - Grab the First Grade

I would make my mind to grab the first grade of rock-climbing in three months, because my back was ready to be cured.

All bodies and spirits are the same, so if the one impossibility vanish, all possibilities will be coming up.

Don't forget the stretching I've been doing almost every day this three months. Only can an effort focused on a single point run through the impossibility. I hope so, don't I?

blog - Getting Up Indian Tiger

First, the following two would be footholds.

- Write an article about Offshore Development.
- Apply for the company's web site on innovation.


Next, move on to the next step.

- Write a book about Offshore Development.
- Launch a new internal venture.
- Step up to a senior position.


Because the hoops were taken off, I freely explore around and attain the universe.

blog - Good-bye, TOEIC Test!

I'll never take a TOEIC test anymore. I think I graduated from the exam. Some might think that I'd better pursue the perfect score (990 points), but actually that's nonsense to study English for the perfect score. TOEIC Test is a good exam to measure the language ability up to 950 points, but from 950 points the exam is not appropriate to measure the ability, especially the road to English master. (Maybe, Eiken or Interpreter Exam is good for the measure, but I think I won't take the exam neither.)

Thus, as I've swore before, I'll do my best to be the English Master. The title of TOEIC 950 give me power. I feel that. I mean I have to achieve my goals protecting the fame. I have to make a further leap with that as a foothold. TOEIC was a great merkmal. I'll never forget TOEIC.

I feel I need to wrap up my struggles and results regarding TOEIC tests. Writing a book about the achievements and the next prologue will be tough work. Maybe it will make me devout every efforts on it. However, I cannot throw away the interest in the contribution. Maybe, I'll do that. But there will be something I have to do prior to that.


That would be released next year.

blog - Now, The World's Dawned

This accomplish is huge for me. It seems like the world has dawned literally. Now, I'll upload what today I sent to my friends studying English together below.

"Yeah, to be honest, I'm really excited. This is much happier than what I've done ever in this area.

"If I write my own book, the final chapter would be written about my achievement which I'll do at this Indian company after this TOEIC 950. That's actually accomplished, and I would make a speech in front of the respectful Chairman, who is the second rich-man in India. That's heartfeld, cross-cultural, focusing on the future of human beings.

"My following English study will put as its center my original output (practicing my speaking and writing abilities). Especially, I would perform studies on Offshore Development in English, and it would be sensational both in Japan and in India. Up until now my efforts were just put to make me to stand the starting line, but from now it will be put to make a difference in various fields. I will aim at being a true internationally-minded person, and being true Japanese."


I've already gotten several new strategies, and I've been convinced that I would achieve various things in various fields as a professional. I wouldn't be afraid anymore; of my limits, of the facts not realized. I wouldn't hesitate anymore; about my attempts to surpass my limits, about my abilities to realize my future. And, I would assert strongly; human ability is literally infinite, and if you stretch your hand, you can get it all.


Well, the show will be going on.

blog - The 133rd TOEIC Test: I got it!

The result came:

Listening 480
Reading 470

Total 950


Yes! Cleared the target!

My destiny has changed. Thank you, TOEIC. And good-bye, TOEIC.


(Note: The detail including whether or not I'll publish my book will come up later.)

blog - Sleeping Indian Tiger

I'll wait for the time quietly. It's the result of the TOEIC test next week. It's the day the Indian Tiger will roar toward the world. It's the moment my destiny will be determined.

I'll train myself while waiting for the time. The complete language skills by which I can discuss, make a speech, and express myself freely. The technological skills by which I can act extensively. The deep cave in which I can travel deep time and space.


Three months. I'll wait for the time, and go underground deeply.

blog - Three Things Young Siddhartha Could Do

Young Siddhartha could do three things: think, wait, and fast. Young Siddhartha obtained these three abilities through learning from Samanas, and Young Siddhartha achieved his goals using these three abilities.

I can also do three things: figure out the truth, discipline myself, and live on vegetables. I used to catch on the lies of grown-ups. I can now also figure out all the truth. And, I can discipline myself by the rules I've imposed.

Moreover, I can live on carrot juice in the morning, bananas and oranges at noon, and avocados and fruits in the evening. I can feel delicious when eating delicious foods, and vice versa. Thanks to these three abilities, I'm just achieving my goals, and living without getting fat in middle age forever.


Young Siddhartha and I could do three things.

blog - The Ability of Recitation

I've forgotten recitation as a training method for a long time. I bet that this method will be the second hit man toward the English Master. I've never recited for this two years, although I used to recite Martin Luther King Junior's "I have a dream" and Agile Manifesto in the past.

I ordinarily have an interest in human brain. For instance, in the past, I tried to measure my brain power to calculate mathematical problems (100 square addition) and how to improve that brain power through the training, as well as tried to recite the Constitution of Japan and Hyakuninisshu (100 pieces of traditional songs; pictured). It's also ashamed that this was just three years ago. So, at the time I was able to recite more than 85 songs. Umm, this is good old.

Thus, I'll try again to regain the sharpness of my brain at that time and will try to recite a variety of materials, like the Constitution of the United States, English version of the Constitution of Japan, famous speeched (like JFK), famous poems (I'm not sure who is better), famous music (well, it's connected here), IT materials (studying for IT will be done at the same time), and so forth. I guess this is the final year to recite something.


The brain has advanced, and the world has been optimized in proportion to the progress.

blog - How To Use Blog and Vlog

I'd like to note how to use Blog and Vlog to make English study more effective.

1. First, write something daily on the Japanese Blog in Japanese.
2. Then, translate that into English on the English Blog.
3. Finally, speak that toward the camera, and upload that onto YouTube.


It seems like this three steps achieve perfect harmony, although I've not completed them yet. It's easy to write Japanese blogs for me (It's of course because I'm Japanese and a writer too). And when translating them into English, I usually use a dictionary, and this is also a highly beneficial step, which is an important previous step to speak of own thoughts in English very frequently.

Meanwhile, at this time, it's important to utilize various Internet sites as well as using an electronic dictionary. For instance, I can say that it's necessary to use ALC's Eijirou and Google's phrase search at present, in order to use sound expressions. I can also say that at some time new methods would be invented.

And making vlogs would be the first hit man for improving speaking ability, which is the biggest challenge for me now. It's ashamed, if I do say so myself, that I do take myself with a video camera put on my shelf, but I have to say this to vow further growth. I will freely speak of the subject in front of the camera around a minute. Because I've already written about that in the Japanese blog, I would be able to speak about that relatively frequently in the aspect of vocabulary. In addition, the quick speaking brain would be needed finally. And that would be thoroughly trained too.

blog - The Second Chapter of Indian Tiger

Now! Now is the only time! What I've been pursuing is to promote the environment where I can challenge. And now it's been promoted, so I'm challenging. I have to challenge to it. Unless I challenge now, my life until now would be a lie, and the faith until now would be tarnished.

Now is the time. What I demanded at the previous company is organization which can understand software, comrades who have advanced technical skills and noble ambition, and culture where challenges are admired. Those are ready now, so I have to challenge to it. I shouldn't waste time any more, and I'll jump to it.

Centers of Excellence is nursery bed which will accept my challenge, and the relationship between Japan and India is foundation which will sustain my identity. I'll challenge without fear of risks, and will accomplish innovation of value that I've never accomplished ever, under great reconciliation.


In retrospect, the India Tiger was predestined to be born.
