Communicate to get and give feedback! Don't hesitate to share your ideas with others!

Hello. I am Tenmei Watanabe from Seito Medical School. This time, I will be rewriting the medical school, and the theme is "Let's get feedback."

　Hmm. Feedback. It's a tricky issue. If you have a boss, feedback will come naturally. Your materials aren't good enough. Your sales are dropping, and I wonder why. From compliments to harsh reviews, there are many opportunities to receive feedback when you're in a company.

　For example, let's say you are in charge of developing new products or creating new projects, and you come up with a great idea. Or even worse, let's say you are in sales or human resources, and you come up with a great business model. You want to make 100% of your business profits by spreading the idea widely.　

　What's important here is to get feedback. Suppose you present your idea to your boss in order to get feedback from them. Your boss then presents your idea to your boss's boss as if it were their own. "I, your boss, came up with that idea." Would you get angry at that time? Or would you accept it as a given?

　Even if your boss steals your ideas, I think it's okay if it's just one or two ideas. Your job also includes helping your boss win, and if your boss gets promoted because of your idea, then you've done your job perfectly.

　Rather, you should keep coming up with 10 or 100 ideas so that your boss cannot privatize your ideas as theirs alone.

　This will improve your skills, and your boss will not be able to hide the fact that he has stolen your ideas. If you are an office worker, you can get a higher position by improving your performance with one or two ideas. I think we need to keep thinking desperately to come up with more ideas, rather than sticking to one idea.

　If you keep one great idea to yourself, even if you could potentially mass-produce many more great ideas, your thinking will stop before you get to that point.

　Think hard! If you keep thinking, you will find a breakthrough. Even if you have a better idea, even if your job is to come up with ideas, you probably don't think long and hard to reach that point.

　For example, imagine you are a mathematician trying to solve a difficult, unsolved problem. You will continue to think desperately to find an answer to this unsolved mathematical problem.

　However, no good ideas come to mind no matter how hard you think about it, and you can only think of superficial solutions. You even consider giving up. Will you continue to challenge the math problem in the darkness where you can't see the future?

　I know that many mathematicians have spent their entire lives trying to solve mathematical problems that never found an answer, and I even know that some mathematicians have drawn the jackpot by finding the answer to a problem that had remained unsolved for hundreds of years.

　Even one of these math problems takes a huge amount of time to solve, and many mathematicians have become reclusive after solving it or because they were unable to solve it. If your one great idea was a way to solve this unsolved math problem, would you be willing to take on a new math problem if someone else plagiarized that idea?

　Perhaps an unsolved math problem is an extreme example, but ideally, I think that even a problem that you have finally solved after devoting your life to it should be communicated to your boss in order to get feedback. I think that it is normal for scholars to submit their work to a journal as a paper, but even if it is accepted, if you stop there, there is no next step.

　Of course, if you can solve a famous unsolved problem, you're good to go for the rest of your life, but I think it's more effective to spend the rest of your academic career trying to achieve even greater things than you already have.

　I'm not a mathematician, so this story is irrelevant to me. As I wrote earlier, the mathematician's story is an extreme example. I think that the great ideas we come up with are far easier than the solutions to such unsolved problems.

　Many people may have noticed the business model behind something like a blog, where you buy a used domain cheaply, ask someone else to help you grow the domain, and then sell it for a price higher than the cost of the domain and labor.However, when you first came up with the idea, you probably tried to do it secretly without telling anyone.

Improve your performance without being jealous! ? A brand is something that comes from updating who you want to be! !

Hello. This is Tenmei Watanabe from Seito Medical School. This time, the theme is that trust crumbles all at once. I have no experience with this, so I would like to talk about it with the novice mark of inexperienced.

Trust. Credibility. Brand. There are various ways to express this, but for example, it would be like when a celebrity who was popular on social media encounters a major backlash and loses popularity.

There have been various accusations against him, from relationships with women to power harassment, but with the media at his disposal it would not have been difficult for his brand to be tarnished.

I think there is a price to pay to maintain a brand. For example, if a celebrity is famous, there is no source of controversy if they don't have any scandals.

The same is true of politicians' financial problems; unless they are framed, no one comes forward to expose the scandal.

I'm neither a celebrity nor a politician, so my brand won't be wiped out by a scandal, but my brand itself doesn't really exist at this point, but as someone who uses SNS, There seems to be a possibility that it will catch fire.

Even if a fire breaks out, there are some fierce people who can get out of a pinch by asking back and forth, but there's no smoke without fire, and if you want to become famous, you need to keep your surroundings clean.

If someone becomes a celebrity, they will likely be assigned a personal manager, and it is up to them whether or not they get involved in a scandal.

"Nabe-kun seems to be thinking about where he wants to fight these days, but now that he's reached a turning point with his blog, I think it would be a good idea for him to try his hand at videography. He talked a lot recently about web videos that combined text and video, so I think he might try his hand at YouTube."

I want to continue writing four articles a week, but I also think it would be good to write one 20,000-word article a week and comment on it in video. I also want to expand my YouTube channel to self-produce.

brand. What is a brand? Creating a brand is called branding, and I think a brand can be built by yourself by becoming who you want to be.

I think if you continue to strive towards the person you want to be and continue to produce results, you will create a brand. I feel like a brand is an outcome, so to speak, and it's not something you aim for and build from the beginning.

Of course, whether you self-produce or have a producer, you still have your ideal self. As you continually update your ideal self, if your accomplishments lead to people liking you, the people around you who have become your fans will likely take charge of your brand.

However, I think that people who make a lot of gaffes are less likely to be criticized for their gaffes than serious people who don't make gaffes. It can be said that making gaffes on a regular basis is also a part of self-promotion. Gaffes are not a good thing, though.

"In the end, what do you want to say, Nabe-kun? Beginner Mark should just ride along with his bicycle on the sidewalk. Oh no, I made a gaffe lol."

Well, today has begun. I would like to start the day by writing an article.

A brand may be something that is built up over a long period of time, but a brand may actually be like a slide, where even if you climb up, there are only a few steps, and even if you slide from above, you slide from a not very high place, so perhaps that's just how brands are.

It's not hard to build a brand, and that's why even if it does fall apart, it can be quickly recovered. Many companies that have had problems and lost their brands continue to operate as if nothing happened after a short time has passed.

If you sincerely apologize when you cause a problem, consumers will probably not criticize you too much. Corporate troubleshooters may be advising that if you hold a press conference and sincerely apologize, even though you're crying, the criticism will immediately stop.

A brand is something that comes after a series of results. Improve your performance, gain favorable impressions, and increase your fan base. Even if you are on a roll and have momentum that seems like you can keep delivering results, there may be times when you need to maintain a slow pace and proceed smoothly without causing unnecessary jealousy or envy.

A brand is a strategy, and the important thing is how to imprint a good image in people's minds. In the first place, the word brand comes from the brand that represents the owner of livestock. Perhaps the true role of a brand is to differentiate it from other companies and celebrities.

First, improve your performance so that you don't get jealous. The first step on a brand's long road may start with such a simple strategy. that's all. It's almost time to go to work. Welcome. See you soon.

The die has been cast! ? Deciding where to fight? ? Compete in the real world rather than the aging internet! !

Hello. This is Watanabe Tenmei from Seito Medical School Clear File. This time, I would like to write about the somber theme of "deciding where to fight."

``Nabecchi wants to be the best here and everywhere, but is he really the best?Itchy has the role of Itchy, providing a comfortable space and being there. You have to think it's a good deal. What do you think about that?"

Be the best. If a man has ambition, he wants to be number one wherever he is. Best in school and sports. Or become the best seller in your company. Becoming the Pirate King is about aiming to be the best, but I don't think it's good to be the best at everything.

That's right. If you're a man, you have to decide where you want to fight. There's a saying in the world: "select and concentrate." In order to be the best here, you have to give up being the best in other areas. Of course, if you have the ability to be the best everywhere, that's the best.

However, human ability and time are limited.

``Does Nabecchi want to hit a series of hits or do he want to hit a walk-off home run? Personally, I don't want Nabecchi to be a home run hitter, but to be a hit-producing hitter like Hachiro. What do you think about that, Nabecchi?”

I have been mainly engaged in this space called the Internet. But strangely enough, I feel like the Internet is aging. I'm in my mid-30s, so I think I'm on the border between being young and not so young.

Of course, what if we let go of that fixed idea and focused on the fact that we are still inexperienced? Some people may give you such refreshing comments. that's right. Age doesn't matter. Are you immature or full-fledged? That is more important.

As far as I can see, there are young people in their teens and twenties on the Internet, but they don't seem to be very noticeable. Is it something that is only used by people in their teens and twenties, or is it because people in their 30s and above are more assertive?

Even I, who am not a reader of the Internet, specialize in writing. Rather than reading what others have written, I make my own statements through my blog. But as the Internet has recently aged and I see that it is full of people older than me, I have begun to feel that the Internet is not my main battlefield.

Up until now, I thought it would be okay to upload 3 or 4 articles a week to my blog, but at the moment, I think it would be okay to just upload one long report a week. I started to feel it.

No, that's fine. It's fine to just aim for the invincible 1,000 articles. If I'm told to post three articles a day, and I focus on the Internet, three articles a day may not be an impossible number. Of course, there will be days when I can't write three articles a day, but I think three articles a day is roughly achievable.

However, I have been competing on the Internet for the past 16 years, but recently I have started to think that it would be better to compete in the real world, that is, in everyday life. On the Internet, it is a miserable place where you can only see older people, that is, people in their late 30s or older. I want to make it about fifty-fifty in real life when I interact with older and younger people.

Final Answer. I was part of the Final Answer generation when I was a child, so I don't think teenagers in their teens or twenties would understand if I said Final Answer. Still, I think it's worth talking about, so I want to aim for about 50:50.

Decide where to fight. The big theme this time is, I'm not the Pirate King or Hachiro, but I want to be the best in real life. Real? company? You may be skeptical, but maybe I haven't shown up where I want to fight yet.

If you're a man, go for it! Donphan, charge! If it were the world of Pokemon, what would I want to do? Would I want to collect Pokemon, or would I want to become strong and become the champion? For now, I haven't found a place in real life where I can fight, so I'm going to post about four articles a week for a while.

I think that if I were to talk about myself in real life, like I do in my blog, I would be able to attract a certain amount of interest from people. On top of that, I think it's important to be interested in the other person.

I'm basically a narcissist, or maybe I'm just a person who loves myself. Therefore, I spend a lot of time studying things that interest me, such as mathematics and medicine. When I have a free day, I spend the first and second half of the day doing what I want to do. That is, studying, researching, and blogging.

So, by splitting my day into two parts, a first half and a second half, in other words, doing the things I used to do in one day over the first two days, and using the remaining second two days to gather information about things that my friends are interested in, for example buying women's magazines or buying and reading manga that I find interesting, I can expect my relationships and life to become richer.

After all, the most important thing in the world is human relationships. I've been doing things I'm interested in a lot. So, by spending the whole day doing what I like only in the first half of the day, I felt that I wanted to do things that other people enjoy, that is, to be interested in other people.

Decide where you will fight. I think it would be great if I could talk about the things I write about on my blog in real life. Most of what I write on my blog is basically self-talk, but I think it would be better if I could think of it as a self-introduction and talk about it more openly. On top of that, I think it's important to be interested in what your friends have to say and try to learn more about them.

As I have said many times before, I would like to maintain the same pace of four articles per week for online battles as I have had up until now, but once I know where I will be fighting in real life, I would like to allocate some of that time to fighting in the real world.

My main battlefield was the internet until I was in my mid-thirties, but as I enter middle age, I would like to start fighting in real life. Age doesn't matter. It's much more important whether you're immature or mature. I'll be a full-fledged person. On top of that, the battles on the Internet up until now were just a preliminary battle.

Get real and itchy. That's important. Provides a comfortable space without pushing people around while cooking. That's Itchy's role. Well, the die has been cast. Where will you fight for the rest of your life? that's all. Thank you for your attention. It was Watanabe's own story. See you soon.

Solve cubic equations by prime factorization! ? How to solve 4th and 5th order equations! !

Hello. I'm Tenmei Watanabe from Seito Medical School Clear File. This time I'd like to think about cubic expressions.

Now, suppose we have the expression a^3+103(a^2)+3431a+36593=0. Quickly, this formula is (a+23)(a+37)(a+43)=0, and the answer is a = -23, -37, -43.

Here, a^3 is called the first term, 103(a^2) is the second term, 3431a is the third term, and 36593 is the fourth term.

You can see that the fourth term, 36593, is exactly (-23)x(-37)x(-43) multiplied by (-1). In other words, if you can decompose 36593 into prime factors, you can find the value of a.

Now, let's try dividing this cubic function using long division. The second term is a^2 multiplied by 103. Since this function is a cubic expression, dividing 103 by 3 gives us 34.333..., so we round it down to 34.

Let's take this 34 as a+34 and divide a^3+103(a^2)+3431a+36593. First, let's subtract a^3+103(a^2) by (a+34)x(a^2). a^3 +103(a^2) – a^3 – 34(a^2) = 69(a^2).

The third term, 3431a, and the fourth term, 36593, are the remainder, so adding 69(a^2) gives 69(a^2)+3431a+36593. If we further divide this remainder expression by a+34, we can see that we need to subtract (a+34)x69a=(a^2)+2346a.

The remainder will be 1085a+36593. Furthermore, if we subtract (a+34)x1085 from the remainder, the remainder becomes -297.

The final result is a^3+103(a^2)+3431a+36593=(a+34)(a^2+69a+1085)-297.

Since -297=(-1)x3x3x3x11, this is a combination problem, and we can see that a+34+3=a+37, a+34+(-1)x11=a+23, a+34+3×3=a+43, which can be decomposed into prime factors.

Using this method, you should be able to solve both 4th and 5th order equations. that's all. See you soon.

Globalization increases the number of low-wage workers! ? The entire country will improve by getting out of the competition for low-wage labor!

Hello. This is Watanabe Tenmei from Seito Medical School Clear File. This time, I would like to report on my study results. Since this is the first part, there will also be a second part, so please look forward to it! !

I would like to summarize the results of today's study. First, I studied "How to Survive Turbulent Times" in "Harvard Business Review". Next, I learned about groups in "Math Girl Fermat's Last Theorem". Next, I learned about immunity in "Illness Explained, Vol. 6: Immunity, Collagen Disease, and Infectious Diseases". Finally, I learned about the "autonomic nervous system" on Wikipedia. Of these, I would like to review "How to Survive Turbulent Times" and "Autonomic Nervous System".

This is the first theme. The current era has long been called an era of uncertainty, and the challenge for companies is how to behave. Recent trends in the business world are globalization, excess capital, falling transportation costs, an oversupply of labor, and underlying technology-driven innovation. The key to these trends was to predict and adapt. Companies that prioritize financial strength or companies that face rapid changes in competition need superior predictive power, and they also need the ability to adapt in order to quickly change their business.

I think the most important thing in a business environment is new ideas. If you compete on the same level as your competitors, and you have similar abilities, it's hard to come to a conclusion. That's why I think that by creating new mechanisms that don't exist in today's world, you can set yourself apart from the competition. This kind of creativity is the same as in the board games of shogi and chess, and when a certain strategy is implemented, it's important to make a clever move that traps the other party in the position you are aiming for, so that "if they do that, there's no way they can do anything."

Large companies change more slowly than small and medium-sized companies, so small and medium-sized companies should be able to counter the unanimity of large companies with speed.

Now, let's talk about the latest trends in the business world.

The first point about globalization is that if you focus solely on domestic markets, you will not be able to avoid risks such as disasters and wars. If you want to grow, you will naturally need to expand into the world. In particular, in Japan, where the birthrate is declining, the domestic market is shrinking, and it is difficult to grow by doing business only in the country. By taking the initiative in emerging markets that will become wealthy and develop a middle class, you can expect future returns.

Nationalists are opposed to globalization because wealthy countries feel that low-wage workers are taking their jobs away from them. However, if they seek markets around the world, their economies will grow, and success in emerging markets will flow back to wealthy countries as new money. As a result, wealthy countries will be boosted overall, and if they see new opportunities emerging, low-wage labor will no longer be a threat.

If you still want to reduce the number of low-wage workers employed in the country, you don't have to compete on the same level as low-wage workers. Actively improve your skills and invest in yourself to get out of the competition with low-wage workers. In Japan, the language barrier is large and Japanese is essential to living in Japan, so even if you are a factory worker, for example, you can get out of the battle with foreign workers by obtaining a qualification of moderate difficulty.

As for globalization, one solution is to get out of low-wage labor. In fact, I've heard that world poverty has improved significantly in the last 10 years. If you think of globalization as a long-term solution that will raise the level of all workers in the country, your concerns will disappear.

The second point, excess capital, shows that the world is overflowing with money due to the monetary easing of the past decade. Until recently, capitalist countries were talking about setting a price target of 2%. In other words, they were trying to create an economy in which the value of things would increase by 2% per year. A 2% price target was difficult to achieve, but now we are hit by inflation, and they are trying to suppress inflation by raising interest rates to increase the value of money and make things cheaper.

A portion of capital is being invested in stocks and gold, and the prices of these financial products have increased significantly. I would like to ask here. Nowadays, we live in an era of money overflowing with money. It is true that the number of wealthy people is increasing rapidly and it is an opportunity to get rich. What do you think about this kind of bubble? I don't know if this frenzied economy, which can be called a bubble, will last for long. Funds that have expanded to this extent have the potential to collapse quickly due to further increases in interest rates.

The current employment situation is such that it can be described as an extreme seller's market, with a continuing labor shortage. Changing jobs is less risky, and if you don't like the company you work for, you should be able to change jobs easily. In Japan, the bubble burst at the border between the Showa and Heisei eras. After that, a generation of people were forced to endure the employment ice age, and for a long time afterwards, they were unable to find work as new graduates. Are there any lessons we can learn from the bubble of that time? Perhaps the current economic situation, which can be described as a bubble, needs to be closely observed.

The third reason is the decline in transportation costs. Shopping is one of the biggest changes between now and the past. In this age of online shopping, if there is something you want, you can have it delivered to your home with the push of a button. In the past, it was normal to shop in shopping streets, but with the rise of shopping malls, shopping streets have become deserted. In the current situation, online shopping, which goes beyond shopping malls, has become the mainstream way of shopping.

If you recall the supply and demand curve in economics, you will understand that as supply increases, that is, as the amount of goods produced increases, the fixed costs of human resources and equipment, referred to here as fixed costs, are compressed, and it has been generally believed that the price of the goods will fall. In other words, if there is any unused part of human resources or equipment, it becomes a wasted cost. The more production volume increases, the more the human resources and equipment are used, and the less wasteful costs are incurred. This is also true for delivery trucks for online shops. If there is time when the truck is not being used, costs will be incurred for that time, which increases costs unnecessarily. Therefore, if the products of an online shop are selling too well and the truck is always in operation, the average cost of truck transportation will be lower.

In economics, mass production that reduces fixed costs is called economies of scale, and economies of scale also work for online shop trucks, reducing shipping costs. There also seems to be talk of making truck delivery even more convenient by creating a system similar to a computer network. You can see how the online shop lowers transportation costs, including unrelated mail items.

The fourth is an oversupply of labor, and the fifth is technological innovation. I only read through the Harvard Business Review, so I can't imagine what these are referring to. They probably refer to the current overwhelming labor shortage and the dizzying changes in technology, but I haven't studied the subject enough, and I would like to deepen my understanding by reading the news. Please look forward to future posts!

Ordinary people are people with a high level of skill! ? Do you want to live normally or live like you’re going to die? ?

Hello. This is Watanabe Tenmei from Seito Medical School Clear File. This time, I would like to think about what "normal" means as it is a medical school rewrite.

Right off the bat, I don't really like the word "normal". What people call normal is a state of being without any flaws, and just as in a group, normal refers to the person who is the leader. When we say that a person is average, we are not referring to the average value.

In a sense, we say that someone is normal when we see someone who has already gone through life and has mastered the basics of things and is able to do everything smoothly. In simple terms, it refers to someone who does everything properly and has no flaws.

People often say that it would be nice if Japanese women were just normal people, but I think that by normal they are actually referring to someone of a fairly high rank.

When I think back to my school days and think about who the average person was, I don't think it was someone with average grades. You probably thought that someone who was a class representative, had good grades, and was not bad at getting along with other people was normal.

In reality, if you look at him objectively from an average person's point of view, he wasn't particularly outstanding, but he was still in a relatively high position.

Let's say you want to date someone who graduated from an average university. What level of university do you consider to be average? Perhaps what you mean by average is a local national university or a mid-ranking private university with a deviation score of 60 or higher.

If we assume that a man who graduated from a university with a deviation score of 50 is the average person, we are overlooking the fact that in Japan, nearly 40% of men of the same age do not go on to university. In other words, even if you are considered an F-rank graduate, if you are a university graduate, you can still be considered normal.

Or you could look at annual income, but an average annual income would be a man in his late 20s earning 4.5 million yen, which is the average annual income in Japan. However, since this is the combined annual income of all age groups, we can see that a man in his late 20s earning 4.5 million yen in Japan is either someone with a highly specialized job or a white-collar worker at a major first-class company.

In other words, what women say is normal means that if they are the same age, they mean the lower part of the top or the upper part of the middle. No, I'm fine. I would like to withhold personal information, but since I'm not trying to be a normal person, I don't fall into this category, or rather, I don't want to be included.

I'm in my mid-30s, so from the perspective of Japanese women, earning around 6 million yen a year would be considered normal. In my case, I'm not aiming to be normal. As I've written before, I've gotten a lot better recently, but I'm classified as a weirdo, and I'm the type of person who thinks that life is most thrilling and interesting if you experience the lows and the highs.

My ``ideal'' is to be assigned to the bottom of an organization, rapidly improve my performance, rapidly advance in the ranks, and settle into the top chair. I'm not the type of person who's popular either, but I'm still a dreamer, so I don't know if I'll ever get married, and even if I do, I'm likely to get married later.

I am a cutlass, working to the death and dreaming of success through this very young age. Once you become the head of a big organization, you won't have to worry about marriage.

This is an investment, because you are investing your youth into the workforce, in the hope of ultimately getting a big return.

Even this blog is one step towards that ambition. It's a big story, and I'm not sure if I can make a profit, but I want to do my best without being swayed by the curse of normality. To that end, I work 12 hours a day and invest all the money I earn into myself.

Some people will say, "Maybe it's time to take it back." This brings to mind the marshmallow test. Children are offered one marshmallow if they choose to eat it now, or two if they choose to eat it later. Children who were patient and chose the two marshmallows were more likely to be socially successful as adults than those who ate them right away.

I also like the movie ``The Shawshank Redemption,'' in which the main character talks about geology and says that the essence of geology is pressure x time. This is also true in everyday life, and the most important factors for social success are how much time you can devote to practicing your work or hobbies each day, and how long you can continue with that amount of practice. .

Going back to the beginning, normal means that there are no disadvantages, but there are also no advantages. Even if there are one or two catastrophic flaws, if there are overwhelming strengths, those flaws will be compensated for. Increase your strengths with pressure x time. The greater the calculation result, the easier your life will be.

I can survive the rest of my life just by going to the library a few times a week and writing a blog. I don't make any money from blogging, and I'm not a huge social success, but I think this is reality. I'm not bragging.

However, I think this is a position that I would never have been able to get if I had tried to live like a normal person. After all, you only live once. Even if you don't want to be the main character of a spy movie, you want to be the main character of a reincarnated manga. Is it more difficult that way (lol)?

Perhaps if you want to live the rails of a normal life, you have to live a conventional life. Do this because everyone around you does it this way. I'll say this because people around me say this. From my point of view, a normal life is very difficult.

That doesn't mean a normal life is bad. In other words, a normal life is one of low risk and low return. If you are looking for stability, it is better to live a normal life.

However, if you want to live freely, doing what you like as much as you like, I think it's not a bad life to start out at the bottom and work your way up to the top of your industry by working as hard as you can.

I think I wrote in my previous article that a sense of fulfillment is happiness. If you do something you hate even if it means dying, that's hell, but if you do something you love even if it means dying, that's happiness. I think a stable life awaits you beyond that.

Which would you rather live: normal or ready to die? that's all. have a nice day. See you soon.

What is experience time? ? About how a month or a year feels like eternity

Hello. I'm Tenmei Watanabe from Seito Medical School Clear File. This time, I'm writing an article about how to use time, which is called Medical School Rewrite.

What do you think when you watch TV? If you turn on the TV, it will be background music and you won't feel lonely even if you are alone in your room. I went out of my way to buy some expensive alcohol today to watch that drama. When it comes to watching TV, I think everyone is different.

However, you should be careful about watching TV because you have too much free time. If you just watch TV mindlessly, you risk wasting precious time of your life.

As with anything, it's important to have a purpose. For example, if you make a to-do list or schedule, you will naturally see your purpose. For those of you who lead a tight life, there are probably some who are so busy with work that they don't have time to watch TV when they get home.

I generally don't watch TV, but when I do watch TV, if I think about what purpose and why I'm watching the show, time regains its effectiveness. Television, which was just entertainment, turned into a valuable teaching material.

If you watch foreign movies, not just those on TV, that are made at exorbitant production costs in an attempt to learn something, you can focus your mind from a vague state of mind on what you want to achieve.

Time in everyone's life passes in the same way. However, the perceived flow of time probably differs from person to person. Just when I thought the year had begun, it was already the end of the year. As we grow older, the years become shorter.

Such people may not value their time. When I was young, a year seemed like an eternity. I also feel like the time was unusually long when I was a student, but it's strange that a year feels even longer now.

A day is just a moment, but when I look at it as a week, a month, or a year, my year is so full of events that I can't even remember what I was doing at the time. The secret is to immerse yourself in something. Anything is fine. If it's something you like, you won't have any trouble working on it all day, and if you get results, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment. In my case, it's studying, research, and blogging.

I like self-help books, and there was a line in one that said that happiness in life is a sense of fulfillment. If you fill each day with things you like, the feeling of each day will be momentary because you are focused, but when you look back on it a month later, it will feel like it was a long time ago.

Of course, one month or one year ago was a long time ago, but there is no need to look back on the past; just look back for a moment and think, ``When was that?'' and then you can go back to doing something that you can immerse yourself in.

Of course, some people are busy with work and don't have time for hobbies. In that case, you can make your current job your hobby and compete against your achievements like a game. Since it's a game, you can make a lot of progress depending on your ingenuity, and it won't be a pain to work on it for a long time if you really like it. Then, you can continue to improve your skills by obtaining qualifications or changing jobs.

Doing the same things over and over every day is boring and time passes by in the blink of an eye. Strangely enough, there are many people who don't lose their childlike spirit or beginner's mindset even as they get older. These people see everything as playful, and complete tasks one after another just like a child playing a game.

Until 2024, I felt like my sense of time was getting longer every year. The unit of a year felt longer and longer. But why? Since the beginning of this year, I have been sleeping longer. Maybe it was a time to recharge my energy, but up until this day in May, four months have flown by in a flash. Of course, even now, it seems so long ago that I can't remember what it was like four months ago. However, compared to how I've felt up until now, it still feels shorter.

Humans degenerate when they go on the defensive. I may have been on the defensive until this time this year. Because of this, I had few opportunities to try new things, slept longer, and felt like I had less time. It is precisely because we get older that we take on new challenges. If you have experienced the succession of firsts you experienced in your youth even after middle age, I encourage you to continue taking on new challenges.

If you keep immersing yourself in what you like for as long as possible, you will be able to perform amazingly after a long time. People will look at someone who is amazing and say, "That guy was crazy from the beginning. He's talented." However, those who have always seen this amazing person nearby will probably think that his ability is commensurate. This is because ability lies beyond the continuum.

If you keep going for a long time, you will get faster and faster, and be able to accomplish things efficiently in a short amount of time. So instead of slowing down, you should go beyond your limits and aim for the next step, and keep going faster and faster.

Finding something you can immerse yourself in and spending your time doing it as if it were a game will lead to a fulfilling life, in other words, a sense of accomplishment and a happy time. TV is great, but think before you lie down and nibble on rice crackers.

"Is it really okay to watch TV? Is this the life I want?" That's all. Thank you for listening. I hope you have a good day tomorrow. Bye.
