Surfing and Investing

Surfing is always in center of my mental stableness. When I was in college in Japan, I traveled not only the entire surf spots in Japan, but also I went to Indonesia, Australia, and the US for surfing. Reason that I decided to study in California was because I wanted to surfing while studying. As I was leaving the US in 2009, I also decided to leave all of my surfing tools so that I can motivate myself in Japan to come back to this place. I couldn't even surf in NH during my master program because of location and tight schedule, but now, I surf every single weekend at one of the best surf spots in the world. How cool my life is!!!



At the beginning, surfing is super tough and not even fun, but once you got together with a wave, you will get addicted. It's better than nothing to sport with the nature. Your team mate is the entire nature!! In this great nature, there is no rich and poor, old and young, white and color, but only bravery to face and catch the wave. When you finished surfing with tired arms, you would feel so refresh and calm down and get ready to live in the real world again. Surfing is this much powerful to bring you power and peaceful mind.



But as I run in the real world almost all time and in the ocean only an hour in a week, I can't run away from my life. Work is as important as surfing is. And I am super enthusiastic to be a successful business guy in the near future. So what I have been doing is that I invest a part of my money to a new experience that I can't do in my daily life. I went to an exclusive Thai restaurant in the most high end place in South Bay, CA in the last Friday. This restaurant is right in front of ocean , and a free jazz live was there too. That was a soo good experience to know how success people spend their Friday night, and I believe this sort of investment would bring myself up to a little higher level. So now my mind is just like a successful guy.


Oh I can't wait for start working tomorrow. So enthusiastic my days are.
And I hope my writing is motivating yourself even a little bit.

Go for it!! Chuji,

Are you republican?

"Are you republican?"


A guy at a bar table in a  party hall where I went in the last weekend asked me. I think he was having a badge of Republic on his chest. He is not only the one who publically asked my political view. I think this is good for the US to have opener discussion opportunities about own society. Compared to Japan, I think US has a more advanced democratic culture where people more aggressively speak about tax, education, foreign affair, and all other political stuff. However, what I always reply is "I am a Chujist. I believe what I do, and I would chose whichever it works better in each four years although I have no right to do so.


You can read how I was lucky to travel the Silk Road in my past article especially when I was applying for my visa. Because I have a Japanese passport, that was way easier to pass different boarders compared to other passports. Many people and governments were very respectful for my country and what we are doing. But whenever they started talking and about me, they only said and asked about Japan, Japan, and Japan instead of myself. "Oh you are a Japanese? Then it would be so easy to get a tourist visa in my country!!" I was so happy and proud of my country, but do you know these countries are only a little more than 20 years old, and how I could identify myself is only this small piece of paper? As I get visas from different governments, I started thinking "How come did they give me a visa so soon? Because I am Japanese? What do they know about me? I can't make sushi and nice cars... I'm just Chuji...." Since then, I am really uncomfortable to be with a unclear organization called government.


"What is a country?" This is only a place where people in an old time landed/moved and made lines, and they also painted an original flag and created a song so that they can identify local people as their citizen...


So yea, I still have so much things to write about this topic, but anyway I am a Chujist who believes Chuji. Because politic is still very important in our life and coming generations, I would vote for either of one if I could, but a political party should be something we handle instead devote by being bra bra lican/lian or bra bra ism. Government should be something we use/through away instead give yourself to. And a country should be something you chose for your better life instead sacrifice for.


And I hope, someday even after my death, we can leave a group of people who govern people. This is my hope. I believe we can have individually sustainable small communities instead.


Go for it!! Chuji,

Promises

Three months have passed since I joined my company. That was so fast, tough, fun, exciting, and powerful. I thought that graduate students are the busiest people in the world when I was in my master program, but now I would say it's business people. Since I started my new life in LA, no dramatic changes have happened in this short time, but daily kaizens make me feel that I'm stepping up further successful stages day by day. Although these steps were very small, it's always exciting to notice that I was a little progressed compared to yesterday's Chuji. 

Oh yea, I have couple of promises with myself.

• No negative remarks: Life is too short to change other people who you can't control. I'd rather blame me who is not smart than blaming smart people around me. 
• Kaizen: Planning in ahead is must, but I'm also trying not to forget to review my performance so that I can make at least one thing better than before in next time.
• Play: I want to spend my job time as I'm playing with my friends. As your job too, my job is not always fun, yet I always have fun in my job because I am responsible for my life time.

We only have three more months in this year. Only three months.

I will do my best to be honest and true, positive and optimistic, always have difficult goals, do my best to repay all obligations I have had, forgive people and listen to them, and contribute to the future generations.

Yes, my life is so exciting.

Tomorrow, I will go to the beach to run, surf, and find nice girls under the blight sun line.

Yes, it will be exiting.

Go for it!! Chuji,
