translate - Fascinations of rock-climbing 2

- Simply fun

Well, rock-climbing is simply fun. It's because human beings feel that. If we believe Dawin's theory, revolution, human beings used to be monkey, right? And we release 11 monkeys to a rock gym. What's happend then? One would eat a banana, one would write down something, and other 9 monkeys would move from the wall to the wall.


- Can feel a sense of achievement

It's a feeling I felt when I began to rock-climbing, and a sense of achievement that we feel when finishing climbing is rare, right? Anyway, although it was a time I first can climb a route which is 12 or 13 meters, after that, I can feel a sense of achievement when I can climb more difficult route.


- Good exercise

We can exercise feeling fun. Jogging is good too. Weight-trainning is good too. However, there is no sport than rock-climbing that we can train ourselves, sharp our body lines, look new mascles, and let ourselves exercise, right? It makes us to stretch, too.


- Can enhance intelligence of body

This is important actually. To be honest, I wanted to list this topic above all. "Intelligence of body" is probably existing, right? It's on conceptual. Through this sport, we can increase the intelligence of body. Can't you imagine? Rock-climbing is really similar to ballet, actually. That's it.


- Can write it down on your resume

This is extremly personal opinion, so you can ignore this, but I think it's good that people have something unique, which can be the talk. Well, however, in the near future, rather, it might be far future, rock-climbing will be a very famous sport in Japan too, like a golf, so such a circumstance is rare actually, I insist.


- And harmony with nature, and a sense of solidarity

This topic force up this sport to a particular position. That is, this sport is done in nature. And there are risks that people lose their lives. And we usually enjoy this sport with friends, in the concentration and fulfillment, we can spend really solid time, I suppose.


Well, let's enjoy rock-climbing!

blog - The time is coming

I'll start working for the new company on April 16th. Only two weeks is left. The challenge is nearly started. I will have to learn new technologies, new methods, and new circumstances.

My energy is emerging. It's actually thanks to my personal tutor Christie. When talking with her today, I convinced that I can do that. After knowing that fact, I was convinced of something.


I will go to hanami tomorrow. I will say something to her some day.

blog - I'm really tired

I'm really tired. I'm tired of the resignation matter, what I have to master English onto business level, or the marriage thing.

When I'm tired, my thought has been tired. That is really disgusting. My hope is really dwindling. My tasks are really losing focused.

My dream is supposed to be more clear. I would be more valuable person in order to contribute the world. I should be more energetic in order to make me more energetic.

I had even quit drinking. It was to be more efficient for my life. It should make my daily life more effective. I could get more time to study, more money to invest, and more power to climb hardest route.


My dream has gone, haven't it? No. It's impossible. My energy is coming more clearly, thanks.

translate - What I should do in this three months 2

Actually, the next project I'm involved is already decided, and it's known to me secretly that the technologies used on the project will be J2EE, one of the programming languages, and WebSphere, product suites by IBM. It's always hard to learn new technologies and new products, but I think that is really exciting for me. Yeah, it's the time that I can use Java in business.

My English will be naturally brushed up. It's because I use it in the daily life, I study hard for that, and that makes me go to the English conversation school at least once a week. Yeah, it's following my plan. About rock-climbing, my back's hurt is getting better, so I'll try to rock-climb at least two or three times a week, and I think I will be on the next level, 2nd grade.

Finally, I must remember the resolutions I made at the beginning of this year. There was a resolution, I write a book. Hence, I have to prepare for that in the next three months. That means I have to experience, or I actually start to write something. Yeah, I will have to mention this later soon. Plus, the gratitude means I will heartily think the following think when I change my circumstance; People help each other.


And I will say something thankful, "I'm sorry."

Everything will be dazzling new, and stimulable. Then, those will be aggressively embraced with active mindset, and taken in correctly and precisely. People say the first three months is very important. I grab at high speed, and challenge.

PS
Translating my own sentences is really good!

blog - Good Idea ..

It's a good idea to translate my blog in Japanese into English. It's because I must think from Japanese when speaking English, because I am Japanese. So, when something in Japanese come up to my mind, the best strategy is translating that into English efficiently. So, If I can quickly translate my thoughts in Japanese into English, it means I can speak English very well. It's near almost a native-speaker.


Yeah, let's start?

blog - I really have to ..

About English, I have to do the following things:

- Make speaking ability on business level
- Make vocabulary fruitful
- Make listening ability surely height
- Make me more valuable


I can't but do that.

blog - I hate ...

I hate my company. They are dishonest and dirty. I should have had a clear attitude, firm resolution to quit at the end of March. I was weak, I was coward. I should have showed resolute stance toward the company. I was careless, I was unguarded.

However, I'll forgive anything. I'll embrace everything. This experience makes me strong, really strong, extremly strong. I am a fighter, I am a champion. I knew about all the things, I knew about what's happening. I am a wise, I am a winner.

Everything is over. The next is coming. It's extremly close. Fun has been started. Great has started. It doesn't matter what I lose, the problem was what I believe. I was facing the danger, acute danger. But, the sky is blue, far from here.


Everything is okay, I'm saying.

blog - The time is settled

As I said, I quit my company, and will work for an indian company. I said this tons of times. But, the date I leave the company was not decided actually. There were some arguments between the company and me about the timing of my resignation, rather struggles and psychological warfare.

I was really nervous about that, and I pursued happy resignation. In short my company strongly requested me to postpone my resignation or to rethink about that. So, I'd felt obligation toward my company because of my almost ten years working-term, and I had a negotiation with my new company about the date of joining the company.

That long struggle, however, is over. I quit my job at the middle of April, say, April 13th. And I'll start working for the new company on April 16th. I feel gratitude for the desition of my current company (well, that's somewhat late though). Whatever, my sight in front of me is suddenly all clear. My energy soars again. My passion spurts from my heart and body again and again.


That's it. That's just the beginning.

blog - Latest News

Hey, long time no see. I'm now writing on this blog since last month.

Anyway, there are a lot of things this year on me. This year is becoming the most stimulative year of my life, as I expected. First of all, I got a new job. That job is a systems engineer in an Indian company! I'm working for a foreign-affiliated company using English every day! One of my dreams is realizing.

And surprisingly, that company offered me higher annual salary than expected. The amount is nearly 30 percent higher than current one. (Anyway, this is secret information). I can get expected environment, that I can use English in business, and good salary at the same time. I was really excited.

So, I decided to quit the job and will work for the company. At the end of January, I told my current company about this matter, say, I quit my job and move to the next company. Although this was one of my expectations, my boss was really upset about that. And he said that the company couldn't admit my resignation. Oh, he couldn't do that though.

As of today, I'm quitting my current job at the middle of April, and the next week of that I'll work for the new Indian company. Anyway, my new project on which I am assigned is already decided. The project is a project on which we build up e-commerce sites for a Japanese company. J2EE and WebSphere are used on that project. Those are really exciting for me.


The new era is already beginning!

blog - New Year's Assertion (6) Get married

This is just a joke, of course. To get married, generally, people have to find their girlfriends or boyfriends in advance. It's, however, needless to say.

Though, I am feeling about the future of like getting married. In the near future, I would be married to someone. It's like a definite fact, I guess.

I would marry someone, and I will make her and my family extreme happy. I can say that even now. I'm diligent, honest, and visionary. I can do what I can do.


Hey, I can do.

blog - New Year's Assertion (5) Change the job

Hey,

I'd have liked to change my job, because I wanted a new challenge. I was a dreamer, I was a man who lives by his spirits.

I started searching a new job from last December, and I found several good companies, and I decided my next company among them at the end of January.

I was happy, because the offer was pretty good for me, say, the annual pay is really good. Of course, I'm not living for money. It's completely true. It's for the challenge, or the global environment, rather than money.

I was nervous, because the new job required highly professional skills, and especially highly language skill, both of Japanese and English. I didn't use English on business. I didn't have a confidence of being able to use English appropriately on business.

Generally speaking, the level of business English is much higher than the level of the normal one. Especially, formal expressions are required in both conversation and documentation. I hardly have the experience so far.

I'm a little nervous, but really excited. It's because there will be a lot of opportunities to use English. I had prepared for this situation in advance through studying English thoroughly. The time has come. My challenging time has come. The curtain has been open, for me.


I'm really excited.

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.
