Positive Revenge - tip 1

I volunteered at Jaycee in Japan for four years for the local community, my home town, after I went back from Tokyo working for the US companies more than 15 years. I was mid 30's which was almost 20 years after I left my home town.

What a culture shock I got!  I was so frustrated with many things.  Then, I remember that I once told the members and myself that;

  •  Anger is also the driving force.  And step forward, we need the courage.
Junki talked about the same thing as referring to "Positive Revenge" in his book. It is a little bit different from positive thinking.  You are not satisfied what you are now.  So, you are upset with it and use its energy to move forward.

These days, I also worry about Japan.  Because the young generation is so quiet even if they faced with some unreasonable things in the politics, economy and etc.  Why did they get angry?  If they gave it up already, Japan will go to sink.  It is also our generation responsibility to have driven them that way.

The education is one of the most important keys to make everyone and everything happy in this world.  We have been leaving something behind us.

Let's make a Positive Revenge what you can do now!

Keep on dreaming - Junki Yoshida

In the USA, a lot of people know Yoshida BBQ source and he is also famous in Japan as one of American dream successors.

He recently published his book; The Seven Laws of Business; e.g. 46 business tips. 

Actually, he does not talk about the way of success but he talks about the way of life.  He almost got chapter 11 four times in his life but he never gave up.

When I found some same briefs what he was talking about, I was encouraged. I will make some notes from time to time referring his tips.

新年快楽!

This year, 1/23 (Mon) is the new year of lunar calendar. All Asian countries still keep the lunar calendar to celebrate their own countries culture but Japan.  I once tried to bring back some local community events per lunar calender when I was in Japan but it did not turn out well.

It is a kind of shame that Japan gave up this kind of tradition and we are no longer celebrate the new year by lunar calendar.  It is very important to thank you the nature per lunar calendar and it is how they feel the four seasons well in Asia.  This can be only applied in Asia but Japan seems to be forgetting this importance.

Happy new year, my friends in Asia !

I wish you all happy new year for the Dragon.
