Saint learns from road to heaven.

Wiseman learns from rules on earth.

Knowledgeable man learns from people in the past.

Learning man learns from people do not learn.

Non-learning man do not learn from people are learning.

From Seikan Kobayashi's calender.

Floater or sinker

|

If we try to float, our body will sink.

If we try to sink, our body will float.

If we leave from obsession of our body, our body is easy to float.

Wonder of floater and sinker.

From Seikan Kobayashi's word.

This is learned from toastmasters friend from Hawaii.

ALOHA means:

  • A (AKAHAI) - (respect)
  • L (LOKAHI) - (cooporation)
  • O (OLOL) - (joy)
  • H (HAAHA) - (humble)
  • A (AHONUI) - (patient)

Hawaii is located between America and Asia. I think these would apply to most of asian countries.But now I think it is apply in US too.

Before I came to US, I thought US people looked not really being "humble". It is from TV show or movies, so I had bias. But I learned more and more about business and successful people.

They have the "humble" in common as well. It might be converted to "appriciation".

Well, I'm still learning these and both US and Japanese cultures.

It is from someone's speech at toatmasters club some time ago.The person eager to win the contest, but he did not win. Two question come from his father.

  1. Did you do your best?
  2. Did you enjoy?

If both were yes, you're the winner.

Full of enjoyment with no regret.

I belive this is also true for our life. After the end of our life, we may ask ourself. How was my life? Did I do my best? Did I enjoy?

In any case, all experience become your treasure like your favorit movie.

Well it's almost 4AM. It is enough for today : )
