Who I am? What we have been telling you. What I want to continue to tell you.

 

“What would you like to make of your life?” (=How would you like to live your life?)

 

There are many things to do in our life such as business, work, enjoyment, etc.

I believe in the end, however, that the essence is how you would like to live your life, or what kind of life is ideal for you.

 

What I say now is my experience. But, I am sure that you have experienced the same kind of situation.

I once “strongly wished to buy a wristwatch” and one day I bought it finally.

My satisfaction or sense of fulfillment lasted only an instant, however.

 

Since then, I could not help but feel empty.

It was because what I wanted was a material thing and my elation was instantaneous and did not last long.

 

In the meantime, the wish “to be like this or like that”, in other words, the wish “to achieve an objective or a goal” lasts forever. This is because your wish is something which lasts forever.

For this reason, it is important for you to determine “what you would like to make of your life”, or as “how you would like to live your life”, as I said earlier.

 

However, each of us have different objectives or goals in our life and you may just choose the kind of life you would like to enjoy for yourself, accordingly.

 

Then, how do you get your happiness?

Or when do you find yourself most fulfilled?

 

---------------------------------------------

There is no meaning in an occurrence.

The point is what kind of meaning you attach to the occurrence.

---------------------------------------------

 

However, In addition, it is said that the patterns of attaching meaning vary depending on each person.

 

You can become honest when you are given an advice.

But, you become irritated when the advice is given by persons around you.

 

There is no difference in the fact that an advice has been given.

Notice that your feelings and thoughts change by who you are give advice or depending on which situation you find yourself in.

 

■ Being given advice is not “being attacked”, but

■ being given advice leads you to improvement for your progress and growth.

 

I believe that if you consider this way, you will be able to create a pattern in which you may progress and grow.

 

What do you think is the aim of this seminar?

What did you learn most through various daily activities (including work) in Japan?

And, what do you think are the things that are most different from your country?

You have to learn more within a limited time in addition to what you have already learned. In the circumstances, how do you intend to do so?

Please kindly tell us your actual frame of mind, attitude, actions to take and requests to your colleagues, if any.

We hope that you are focused and perform your duties in a proper manner.
