Memento-Mori

I read a book "Memento-Mori", that means "think about the death." It contains pictures of nature, and I think they were taken in India. I felt the death is closer to their lives in India than in advanced countries including Japan. The dead is fired till bone by the sea and the relatives or neighbors watching the all there. I was appalled by the picture because I could see the part of dead such as a leg or a hand. I have never seen the dead firing in front of me. They are hidden in the building here in Japan. I haven't felt the death was something crude or frightend. We are not able to see the fact. The death is not something beautiful. In the book, there are many beautiful sean, such as plants, sky, sea, flowers, green, blue, yellow, red. I think living is happy because there are many beauties in the world. We can make our world beautiful while we live. I want to see the beauty during my life.

facial expression

I heard that human baby tend to see the face rather than objects while chimpangy's baby tends to see objects. The study shows that the human learns from the facial expression connecting with what is happening. I do same thing at the company. I see my coleage's facial expression when I talk about the work. I can understand whether he agrees or disagree with my ideas. It is important to smooth communication with work partners. The facial expression is necessary means for good relationship.

Good bye Whitney

I love "The greatest love of all". She sings about the pride each one has inside. I can remember that each person is important and should be respected each other. Everyone has strength inside to support ourselves. We can tell and show children about it. I think this song is unique in her songs. This song has a great message to us. I miss her powerful and beautiful voice. I feel I am lucky to know the song of her in my life. It tells and support me how I live. Thank you Whitney. I love you as my heart friend.

King's ransom

I can't imagine how large 600,000,000 yen, which was stolen from a company in Japan. Is a person able to use that huge amount of money in their lives? I don't know how they use that money, but it seems to be difficult to use whole of it. If I could get that much money, I would like to use for others. It might be something in welfare, such as for children to be happy. I hope they will return the money by remembering people who is suffering from losing that money.

apartment

It's good to walk to the work place rather than using a crowded tram or bus. It is a stressful thing before the true work. I hope I walk to the work place every morning, so I want to live where I can walk there. I lived an apartment within 5 minutes to walk to a college. It was really convenient because I could spend enough time in the morning in the apartment and never worried about the time of last tram. I will find an apartment close to the work place again.

Practice makes perfect

There is a good proverb, "Practice makes perfect." I think that is true and it is only difficult to keep doing it. I think I tend to go easy way and don't practice hard. I don't see the future risk or dream I want to achieve. It is the practice every day which makes the life happier, closer to what I dreaming of. I should think of time value. The time passes so quick to become old. If I don't notice how precious the time is, I can't achieve anything I want to. I will try to practice every day.

Go for a walk

"When you go for a walk, what do you see?" This is a line of a poem I read before. I see trees, flowers, sky, people, and the like. I often ride a bike, so the speed is rather high than walking. I see what I am interested in. It's similar to the life. I will walk slowly to find out something beautiful and interesting I have never found before.
