Feel it!

The human beings is very intelligent and our experiences call tell us a lot what to do rather than we learn from books.

However, sometimes, the experiences and intelligence make our intuition rusty.  You do not need to explain (or cannot explain) why you love your family. For business, someone want to try to find a reason and try to explain why it is good.

Why do you want to do that business?  Business is done among the people.  When you feel that you want to do, just do it!  When you are looking for some reason, you might be looking for an excuse for someone.  You do not need to explain to yourself why just like why you love your family. The life is short and only one time.

You should follow your own heart without asking for a reason why.  There is no ego and you are walking for success with others.  Kill your ego and listen to yourself.  It is difficult but it is the way of life.

• Don't Think and Feel

• Inspiration and Intuition

人間はとかく賢く、経験が本よりも多くのことを教えてくれます。

しかし、時として経験や知性が直感を鈍らせることもあります。家族を愛していることに説明は要りませんというか説明できないことかもしれません。ビジネスに関してはやるための理由や何故いいのかを説明しようとします。

それより何故やりたいのか？ビジネスは人とすることです。やりたいと感じたときにはつべこべ言わずにするべきだと思います。やる理由を探しているときは、案外周囲の人々への弁解を探していることが多いと思います。家族を何故愛しているか理由は要らないと同じように、自分自身に対して理由など要りません。人生はたった一度きりで短い。

理由を探すより自分の心に正直にあるべきだと思います。そこにエゴはなく、周囲の人々と成功に向かって歩いていると思います。エゴを殺して自分の心に素直になること。難しいですね。

NYC Biz Trip

Times Square in NYC

I am here in NYC for two days.  One of my client's customers invited me to come over to get together for face-to-face meeting.

I had a good meeting and dinner.  This morning, I will have a wrap-up meeting.  Taking the advantage of building my network with IT technologies, I still believe that  it is more important and fun to building a relationship with a face-to-face meeting.

Today, video conference and other convenient IT tools are available; however, the real network can be built only by foot; I mean that you make your efforts to visit the people.  After you build up your relationship, it makes you easy to solve a lot of issues just by one telephone call.

I still enjoy meeting new people to expand ensure my "En".  This week trip to NYC is one of good "En" trip. Just believe and follow your own feeling is sometime very important.

The news does not report the actual photos in the street in China especially outside of Japan. The violence an riots of anti-Japan have been getting worse. It is no longer the politics issue but crimes for pleasures and robbers.

It is the current level of China. I bet China does not gain anything from this kind of behaviors. On the other hand, Japan is too quiet, but most Japanese must be disappointed at China. 

Even if the Chinese government led and controlled this anti-Japan riots as PR per the rumor, it is the problem of the Chinese people to react this way. 

It is hard to believe that Japan was influenced and learned a lot of culture and moral from China more than the thousand years ago. How could they lose the perfect virtue (仁）- humanity and justice.

China is running into the wrong direction.

I hesitate talking about the politics in my business blog but time to state.  I am interested in China and learn a lot from their history and the martial arts.  I hope the Chinese people will wake up to realize what is right thing to do.

前略

自分と同じ10代の青年が、国家を憂い命を投げ出し奔走していた幕末時代。それに引き換え、有名大学に入るだけの無味乾燥な上っ面な受験勉強に益々疑問を持ち始めたのがこの頃でした。この夏休みを境に受験勉強という机での勉強に身が入らなくなり、テストの成績順位や偏差値などで一喜一憂しているのが馬鹿らしく思えたのです。 現役で受験失敗し、浪人時代の京都で同級生のある言葉を聞くまでは....
