Iroquois

Writing in the city of Plymouth, NH where I study in this coming academic year. This town is calm, mountains are wild, and people are good. Right before starting my program, I'm having times to prepare for my new life, get used to this new environment, and think my future. When I see my future, America is irreplaceable country. SO FAR, here is where I live, work, and have my family(If I could though...)

Do you know Iroquois?(I hope all Americans know them.)  I read about their story in this slow days. They are native Americans, but US people shouldn't simply understand them just people who used to live in where you are now.

They are basically Mongoloids around in Israel, and their journey to America took more than a thousand years !! They crossed the Eurasia continent and Bering Strait before it sunk. They finally succeeded to go south of America. From the beginning to the end, they had daily discussion in every single night for surviving. Around a fire in the night, they kept discussing where they should go and what they should do everyday. And here is what I want to say. Before their discussion, everyone swears that they speak up with an idea of how their decisions affect their descendants in 7 generations later from theirs.

This daily work of them developed into the Iroquois federation which finally became the foundation model of the US congress system later on. But, what about people in the US congress now? I bet no one who is reading it thinks that they care about even us. What about me? Did I ever think of them? Did I ever do for them? I'm already more than enough to take care of myself...

"Be personally and socially brave to make changes which is something not only for us, but for future." and "Be responsible for me, you, others, and THEM"(I now named this kind of responsibility "4D responsibility"!!)  are what I severely felt from the story...


Well, I have to go back to my reading now.
Studying here makes my future more sure so their future will be more sure:)

Go for it. Chuji.

Next journey is started

More than a half year has passed since I came back to my home from the end(beginning) of the Silk Road, Istanbul. After this great journey, I have not only prepared for my master program in the US from this Sep, but also some times gave Japanese people my speech about experience from the trip such as local people and culture, stories about origamis, and so on. People were so impressed by my presentation with video, pics, and my well organized speaking!! But I was one who got the most impression. I could remember how exactly my feeling on the Silk Road was just like traveling once more as I was preparing the presentation. I also knew what an amazing experience I did by seeing the people's reacts after the speech. Thanks for everyone.

Now, I have graduated my university in Japan in this Mar, and an MBA program at Plymouth State University in NH is getting started. But just before the next attempt, I'm traveling LA, NY, and Boston to visit friends of mine and influence people who I need to talk to be successful in this country. "America is great, so much power. I have no regret at my decision to move to here" is what I'm always feeling since I got the immigration stamp on my passport at LAX. Long economic depression, wrong capitalism(few riches work only for their money), selfish politicians, discrimination, and personally owned guns...I dislike them, but still okay. Please keep letting the equal opportunity spread everywhere in America.

I couldn't make a time to post my writing for a while, but I will try because I think it's important to express my opinion in the local(national) language where I live and success.

My story is just begun. Please enjoy my story just like reading a novel!!

Go for it. Chuji.
