When I drove back to my home city Tokyo recently taking my wife on my car,I could finally introduce her to my relatives after three years' married life.Marridge style is more diversified than before like living together without registration.So less couples follow conventional rules like having wedding party and visiting one's relatives to introduce one's partner etc.Another merit of our slow style is that fresh honeymoon mind can remain longer.I can say with pleasure that I enjoy my married life more fruitfully and more comfortably than the time just after marridge when I was anxious if our life can be sustainable.

Yesterday was one year's anniversary since JR big railway accident occurred killing more than a hundred passangers.At the condolence ceremony near the scene in question,the JR president gave speech to the dead souls that they shall never repeat the accident.What I thought about his speech,however,was that there is no real sense of repetition at all since what he said can be heard anywhere at the similar situation.If he really feel sorry and feel guilty for the accident,he should give the comment in detail about what was wrong in their way of thinking and how they should improve themselves.

If I were to give speech instead of him,I'll disclose honest feeling that the company has stick so much to the profit in order to survive hard competition with Hankyuu and Hanshin.And at the end of the speech,I would declare that I'll do away of such ridiculous competition.

Why couldn't he say like me?

I've been to round trip back to Tokyo by taking different route between to and from Tokyo.On the way to Tokyo,my wife and I stayed at the hot-spring hotel in Nagano located near the lake.Along the lake there was a periodic spring,that we call Kanketsu-sen,where onsen hot water shoot the air to nearly five or six meters high with very punctual timing every two hours!It was spectacular to watch and also the wonder of nature why so periodically it springs as if the earth is a living creature and has its biological clock inside.

Onｌｙ a small step for new challenge is superior to struggling harder for what you are always engaged in.Imagine you swell a baloon.You may notice that the first blow is the toughest though it's much easier after you overcome it and gain momentum.

That's why I don't trust guys who always insist making more effort.New challenge gives you also a stimulant to your brain.

Today's my new challenge was studying new type of semiconductor from the website of one semiconductor company.Looking at my job from different aspect brings me a fresh air.

Yesterday I gave a lecture at a Kyoto's university about the relationship between economy and corporate restructuring from the labor union's standpoint.I'm in charge once a year to teach economy from business field since students have no social experiences.Other lecturers invited are all corporate executive class people,but I was exceptionally accepted since they know that corporate restructuring is very important aspect of our society.This time the audiences are nearly 200 students,but they made few noise during my lecture and I also noticed that I could eye-contact with many students that shows how they were attracted by my presentation including interesting anecdotes that can be never heard by no one else.For me,it was also good presentation practice and while preparing for it I also could learn various things about economy.

Before the lecture,I imagined that I were a Tora san carrying similar suitcase in order to ease my tension.

Sake party under cherry blossom tree was held last night in Kyoto inviting the seniors of my university days.Hot sake was made using tiny stove which added a flavor to wonderful flowery atmosphere.Singing to my ukulele together was also a much fun.

However,what I noticed while talking with my seniors was that, as is always so with my prestigious university graduates,their way of thinking seems stereotyped.Besides,they tend to be partial by favoring the same university graduates though such elite must show moral standard of being impartial.It's not bad to love one's country,one's college and one's hometown,but one should be one step aside from their own territory to look at their position more objectively.That's one reason why I dared to move to my current rural residence by leaving trendy hometown Tokyo.I'm proud of having established unique lifestyle here at the new world I found out.

Anyway I enjoyed a party to my heart's content and I also was glad that we could frankly exchange opinions about any kinds of topics without leaving any bad tastes that I wrote in my previous posting. That must be the merit of the association I belong.

Recently I was complained of my blog outspokenly writing about politics and religion.In general,Japanese tend to avoid such topics but I'm curious if the situation is the same with other nations.Frankly speaking I'm not left wing nor right wing so it many not offend people so much.

By the way,what's the physiological reason people avoid such topics,I wonder.Younger generations are more innocent and open-minded to tell such issues,but as we get older we tend to become more cautious for better or worse about what we should tell and what we shouldn't.Besides,people may be afraid of one's opinion different from others may cause conflict.

I hope people will enjoy a difference rather than get offended about that.

My co-worker told me one shocking story.You must have heard about the mysterious accident that some people involved in the business of exploring mummy's tomb were cursed to death by unknown reason.What he wanted to tell me was that the notorious dictator Hitler 's insane act of genocide is also caused due to the curse of some ancient treasure which first was discovered by someone and passed down to the Hitler in the end through some antique market.He also added that the constant conflict occurring in middle east Asia can be also ascribed to this curse since Jewish people settled their residence close to Egypt that originally pulled the first trigger of spreading the series of curse.

Easter holiday is just around the corner in Christian countries.One famous movie related to exhorcism in Christianity must have reminded my co-worker to tell such story.

Book review about a man's destiny.In this book what impressed me most was the passage telling about one's destiny of not having a child in one's married life because it matches my current situation.The writer explains various destinies on the belief that men have their past lives that had been repeated again and again.He suggested that one reason of having no child is that I must have experienced raising children in my past lives a lot and the God must have given me a chance to take a rest or to do some other thing in my current life.I can agree with this opinion since one of my second-sighted friend once told me similar story.She gave us the prediction that we may corporate to create something new that must be more important for the society than us having a child.

One of the concerns I've been worried,however, was if the bond with my wife may not be tight without children and it was said in this book that there won't have any difference at all.

It's my understanding about recent scandal related to money game that a professional without moral will result in spoiling all the money one earned ,followed by much negative impact to the society at the same time.As for me I've been in humiliated situation because of my past disease unable to realize my potential so far,but it must have been my destiny when I had to learn with slow pace what's more important than such material wealth.Earning money by developing certain skill is much easier than what I acquired or learned with bitter experience so far.

I'll keep it in my mind to catch up the loss I've suffered so far to make more steady step for promotion.

Yahoo Japan gave us free gift of watching old movies through internet for these three days commemorating its 10th anniversary.The movies available are "Gamera series" that used to be popular here as a rival of Gozzila series.

The starring character of Gamera series is a monster of turtle who has a sense of justice beating evil monsters like Gozzila did.Though it reminds me of my good old childhood,there were some new findings when I watch it now.Compared with Gozzila series for instance,Gamera seems more helpful to young children because in every film Gamera rescues some children who are exposed in danger which gave us heartwarming impression contrary to its awful figure.

One lesson of this film may be that looks can be deceiving.

We had home party yesterday inviting several friends including two foreigners.The purpose of this party was celebrating some memorials like my birthday etc.At the party I was glad to realize that I can have better command of English with various topics thanks to this blog excercise.I had great time with nice guests,but my wife seemed to have great pain in preparing and serving for them though I also helped her a lot.After the party was over,she complained me that it's very stressful and don't want to have anymore.So I pursuaded her that her great pain was appreciated by the guests since they also seemed to have built another friendship.

I wish we can have such party more like routine work with less stress and play a role of expanding human network.
