“Don’t Do Anything You Don’t Want To” Isn’t a Bad Goal

I always feel it’s awkward “to be an entrepreneur to change the world” or “to do job that I love doing ”. I really don’t care about changing the world. It’s none of my business but I don’t understand having those gigantic dreams. Job that I love doing… I write blogs everyday so it’s true that I like it but I’d say no to make living by writing blogs because I’ll be out of topic, I’ll be lonely, it won’t make too much money and it’s not stable. What I Don’t Want to Do Is the Driver  I still want to do my own business, so I’ve been doing side business. Because I don’t want to be employed by someone else. I don’t want to commute during rush hour. I don’t ever want to follow someone’s instructions. I want to select who I work with. I want to select where I work. I don’t understand why my pay doesn’t go up even if my performance exceeds the expectations. I don’t understand either why I have to go to work even when a typhoon is hitting the area. ...

Lecturing Is Pointless …the Difference between “Communication ” and “One-Sided Expression ”

There’re two men at the coffee shop the other day.  It seemed one of them was a boss and the other was his subordinate. Since they’re right next to me, I overheard their conversation. Boss: “Did you go voting the other day?” Subordinate: “No, I didn’t.” Boss: “You should have. Young people should vote, otherwise, this country will go through blah blah blah…” He was lecturing.   Lecturing Is Counterproductive  I always think lecturing is useless, don’t you think? Because if someone lectures you, don’t you find that your motivation decreases rather than increases? If someone says, “You must go voting”, you never think, “You’re definitely right.  I’m going to the next election for sure”, do you? It’s more likely that you’ll end up feeling like,  “You shut up.  I won’t ever go voting”. “Communication” and “One-Sided Expression” “One-sided expression” is a way of communication that you let all out and feel go...

Best Way to Take Action

It goes without saying that putting things into action is vital.  You never know the outcome of your plan until you carry it out.  Moreover, it is often observed that things turn out well because your mission is accomplished.  Even if you fail, you’re more likely to be successful in the near future because you learn your lessons. Now, how do you get moving? Get Things Done No Matter What Once You Set Your Goals As a nerd on books about self-improvement, I have read them, thought them through and tried things out myself. My conclusion is pretty simple. Get things done whatever comes your way. If you decide to get up early in the morning, do so from the very next morning. If you decide to study, buy books and get started. If you decide to contact your friend, think about when you will contact them and what about, and then do as you plan. You may not be able to carry it out right away. However, the odds are getting higher through your successes and failur...

If you do two things, you will be able to continue your efforts.

The way to continue the effort is to make it a habit to a degree that you do not feel uncomfortable if you do not do it. It is as I wrote last time. You have to do two things to make it a habit. Do it little by little The first step should be very small. You only need to search about what you want to do in about a minute. Or you can just think. The second and third steps are the same. Even with a small step, there is a sense of fulfillment that is progressing steadily step by step. "Can I do more?" "Let's do this tomorrow!" The step becomes bigger gradually. You will be able to accomplish a lot in the near future. If you make too much effort in the first step, you will lose motivation immediately. "Will I do that again today?  It can not be done to me. " Anyway, do it little by little. Continue for a couple of weeks with guts However, if you go home late on business, there will be no motivation at all. Do it. Absolut...

Life is determined by customs

Whether to live a good life or a bad life depends on customs. I think so. In Japan, it is said that you can succeed by making efforts and having patience. I think those are necessary, but those are not enough. It is because you can not continue your efforts and patience. You really do not like effort or patience. So you will quit soon. Habit is different. If you make it a habit like washing your face, brushing your teeth and taking a bath, you will do it even if you do not do it, and you will continue. If you are in the habit of studying, you can enter a prestigious school. If you make it a habit to work seriously, you will be able to make a career. If you make it a habit to make encounters, you can meet compatible partners. If you make a habit of speaking at a couple, you can live a happy married life. If you take good care of your meal well and make it a habit, you can be healthy. If you make a habit of increasing your friends and increasing your hobbies, your li...

This Is “Oresama”

Hello to the whole world. Most of you may ask, “Who the hell are you?” So, let me introduce myself. I’m a little famous blogger in Japan. I’m not worldwide yet but I’m getting there soon anyway. I refer to myself as “Oresama”. “Oresama” is a word used to refer to oneself from a male first person point of view. “Oresama”is used in a situation where the first person is arrogant, selfish or impolite. Everyone hates that person except a few girls who are attracted to him. I call myself “Oresama” because my writing style is arrogant like “Oresama”. I’m not going to write anything that doesn’t hurt anyone. I hate superficially positive stuff that only makes everyone feel better. That way, my writings will become valuable and get to the hearts of selected readers. However, not so many people here read my blog because Japanese people do love superficial stuff. Consequently, I’m not making much money out of this blog. I start writing this blog to the whole world as I hate...
