The Answer to see the future

I was introduced a book called “the World in 2050”. Explanation about this by my friend was interesting although I don’t read it. This book focuses on geopolitical and economical situations in the World, and estimates power relations between nations in many ways such as politics and economy. I guess readers of this book are trying to find a new picture of the World so they can go ahead for advanced lives in this coming 40 years. But my opinion about this kind of book is like “sorry it doesn’t go as the author said because the world doesn’t go so simply, and he/she doesn’t know Chuji first of all.” I’m sure this book can be a clue to find out a bright future, but this is not the answer.

I think there are two kinds of people in our living world. One is who looks for demands. The other on is who creates demands. I definitely want to be the later. Demand finders are expectable because they are following particular methods or phenomenon. I have studied that 95% of people are in this group. On the other hand, demand creators don’t follow anything. Their passion for their interests is only thing they follow. And when their passion came up in public as a business model, a product, art, science, or whatever, it will be a new demand. Business is the field where I’m trying to be a creator although I haven’t found a way to go there…

In a macro view, uncountable things are going in every direction in every moment. No smart author can see the exact view of the World in the future. I think even understanding the current world is already impossible because it keeps changing even now.

In a micro view, life is always tough. Almost 70 billion people don’t know you, and also they don’t even try to value your life.

But what I’m always trying to think is “that’s why life is beautiful.” Since no one can guess the world in the next second, we try to be happy now. Since we are happy now, we try to hand this happiness down to further generations.

Since life is taught, we have a chance to beat the toughness sometime soon. Since people don’t look at you at all, you can eagerly look at an opportunity to make then watch you out.

“Don’t be so smart Chuji, keep groping for” This is what I said to myself as I hand the book up.

There is no answer to see the future except one which is that there is no answer to see the future. This is my opinion.

And I’d rather find an answer how my favorite baseball team beat others than finding my future.

Go Hanshin Tigers!!

It opened a new chapter in my life.

 "Hey Chuji, cooking is arts" My Romanian friend told me when I was cooking dumping in this lovely Sunday on which I made tomato sauce and pesto after the dumpling. Since I arrived in Plymouth, cooking is one of the biggest jobs in weekend as well as cleaning and exercise. I started cooking by myself to save my limited money and keep being healthy, but it became a kind of my hobby now. Cooking is so fun!! What you should do is not only following the recipe, but you also need to organize the whole steps in your brain with making your hands move so that you can make a good one with less time and stress.

If you succeed on cooking in your days, there is nothing which worth it more than the successful cooking in your days !! I have spent much much less money than my financial plan in this school life. Reason why is definitely cooking. Sometime spending some more money into good foods and services at a restaurant is good, but my cooking is better than many restaurants, especially in the US, and of course cheaper!!

In this country, once you become lazy to spend your time to foods and cooking, you will certainly be on a way to be fatty. American foods such as frozen foods and fast foods would lead you to the way.(I have been seeing sooo many people who have gone to the fat rail from a healthy one.) "No, no, I don't wanna be like them!!" This is what I'm always saying to myself in my mind when I feel tired to stand and start cooking at my kitchen.

As I told you at the beginning, reason why I cook now is not only that I wanna save my money and be healthy. It's as fun as drinking until the late night or dancing with sexy girls!! As far as I know, all people I like, such as my friends, mentors, people whoa are financially and mentally successful, they cook, and of course they are healthy, but it's peaceful to see how these people cook their foods which finally will be a part of themselves.

This is daily work (weekly work for me), but I think it will make a lot of differences in many ways in your life.

For me, studying business at grad-school is interesting, and I'm finding new ways to see business in everyday. However, cooking is as interesting as my study!!

If you cook, you will get into a new chapter in your life story...

And now, I can't wait to cook with my wife, who, I believe, is the most beautiful woman, in further chapters of my life!!


Go for it, Chuji.

Yes, we can!!

It’s a quarter passed 9pm in the New Hampshire. Date is almost the 9.11. As everyone knows, 3.11 in this year was the unforgettable day for Japanese. I think 9.11 for Americans was as much shock as the earthquake.

A decade ago, I was a junior high school student, and watching the TV after dinner. When a comedy I was watching was suddenly changed into the emergency news program, I thought it’s just an accident... I would be so sorry if readers of this blog suffered from the tragedy. I want no such a sadness to happen anymore.

In my opinion, what the US government committed　against the happening, as if it’s a right way, was totally wrong. The decision was already wrong as the wonderful US president began thinking how to take a next action from the terror. I always think why US couldn’t find out a more peaceful way. People who died on the day, are dead no matter how we hate the terrorists. And is the US allowed to kill people in Iraq then? It looked like that the decision was 100% right because the US was the victim in that time. But what the guy called the president of the United States and people in his country had to find out was not a right answer. It’s a better or best answer. “They killed our people, so we will kill them. Yeah, it’s right!!”  This is too immature… US knew how it’s sad and nothing is productive if a number of people were killed by a selfish idea. Then the president’s saying should have been “I know you guys are sad and anger, but what should we do? What is the step we need to be on as the victim?” And I think the US was able to make some peaceful solutions as the World leader which words US uses when they call themselves.

And this 10^th annual day too. We have to think “Why” it happened as well as make wish for the peaceful World in our future. “Why the terrorists did that?” “HOW the people there look at us?” “Maybe WE were a kind of terrorists for them throughout our economic and political system?” “Peaceful World is made by all kinds of people, so what is the definition of peace for THEM? What do they want?”

US people are aggressive to do volunteer, many NPOs and NGOs are helping people in the World, and a lot of social businesses from the US are taking action to make this World more sustainable. However a nation who picks up most energy, money, wealth from all over the World is also the US which also has been in the wars so long time. In my travel experiences such as Silk Road, people in developing countries tend to dislike the US, and they said “Where the US goes is where troubles happen”.

It’s time to think how the richest country should be to protect that kind of tragedy in the future.

It’s time to think what the “fact” which caused the tragedy was, and how we should take actions in the coming decade.

I don’t think it’s time for the US soldiers to leave for somewhere to manage other countries.

I don’t think it’s time to change political systems of other countries neither.

It’s time to change our thinking and idea to see the World. All people in all nations are supposed to be happy, and, I think, sharing wealth, nature, foods, energy, peace, and mind with others are essential to make it just like we do between our neighbors.  

Can we do that?

Yes, we can!!

Go for it!! Chuji.

Job is a lottery

My days are getting busy to work on my MBA program such as reading text books. Although classes haven't started yet, I'm trying to spend as much my effort as I can into the preparation  because my English  disadvantage especially reading will be my headache when I got into a busy time. (So far, so easy!!)

While spending the most of my time into this stressful academic task, I have been researching American Dreamers to meet. I love meeting people to speak, and I believe this is the most efficient way to be successful rather than sitting in a class room. On the way to NH from Japan, I met some successful people, who I define do or done what I want to do such as successful own businesses and immigration. I talk with them, see how they speak, feel how they are, and ask them what they would do if they were in my situation. Sometime, they give me some clue, and sometime I acquire some by myself. This is Chuji's philosophy to improve myself.

So, whenever I found my personal time in a day, I google if there are interesting people for me. (Thanks for the endowed IT environment in this century) I can check who successful people are, and find what they do. If I was interested in one, I deeply pursue him/her books, youtube, and so on. This is what I do in the night instead of watching the TV. (I think everyone can do this although not many do.)

And I found a common point they have by checking their lives out.

It is that what they do is no what they had expected to do before.

"Whoever picks you up from the airport, whatever business they are in is what you will go into" I found this sentence from an article about an American Dreamer from Korea.

I think I was too timid to be successful. Making plans and being on the way might be comfortable, but I don't think it won't be as fun life as the the dreamers above have. People are very strong once they left a box which seemingly protects them such as countries, useless pride,  and selfishly organized life plans...

"Just do whatever in front of you with your best effort" This is what I wrote on my diary today. 

"The first job is a lottery. The chances of being in the right place are not very good." by Peter F Drucker.

Go for it!! Chuji.

People? Person!!

It has passed more than ten days since I arrived in Plymouth. Classes are not started yet until the second week of this month, but I have been busy to get stuff I need in this new life and prepare for my classes. I've  already got used to in the new environment so easily. (I think I can adjust myself to any environment as long as there is at least a person:)  I can cook my food (Still missing some Japanese ingredients though), like the nature such as tree and view of mountains (I love running here), and people (I'm an enthusiastic dreamer. Attract everyone.).

Oh about people, I had heard that people in New England is totally different from others like Californians in many ways. So far, almost everything is same. English pronunciation, fortunately my English is not good enough to recognize it yet. Culture, all cultures in every part of US are already different from mine. People, good. They are so good, I don't understand why sometime US-people run others down each other in their own country. But it happens in everywhere including my country. West people like in Osaka criticize Tokyo, and I know Korean, Chinese, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Australian do same thing according to my experience. Kyrgyzstan is a prime example. They have Kyrgyz-people and Uzubek-people in the country. They have historically and politically have a complicating relationship in a long long time. In a north part of Kyrgyzstan where majority are Kyrgyz-people, people were so nice. A local shared a room for me at her apartment with no charge although I heard Kyrgyz are devils of people from Uzbeks who I met later. In the south part, where many Uzbek-people are, they were so friendly. Madam at my hostel drove and run with me since I got a serious problem on my credit card. She spent her all day to go and back between banks and banks although I had heard they are so stingy and selfish from Kyrgyz before visiting the south part.

They may be kind to me since I was a visitor.
Their analysis may be true in some points.
I may have been too lucky about people.
I may haven't seen the negative sides of these people.
They may divide themselves because they are same.

But I don' wanna define people according to where they from, who they are, what people the are, which country they are from.

I wanna see who she is, how he is.



Go for it. Chuji.
