Aiming High

2013-12-09 08.13.43Figure : What a cold weather!! But, this is benefit of waking up early!! Stay warm and be happy everyone!!

This week has been tough because it is first serious week for work. I needed rehabilitation. But, I found one of solution for physics problem I am working on, which made me so happy. I have been working on the analysis of the magnetic structure of the old system as I wrote here before. The problem has not been solved for 30 years. Finally, my calculation explained the experimental results. I need to check the process of calculation though, I am so happy to find out. I am going to go to American Society meeting in Denver, CO, this March. I am going to make presentation. I feel kind of relief because, at least, I have something to propose.

As I wrote in my resolution 2014, I will read 240 books this year. 20 books a month. Also, I have to write more though. I have been reading interesting books. Take quick reviews.

1. Aiming High.

This is the biography for Son Masayoshi. I don’t know how much he is known in the U.S. But, I believe he is one of most important person in the information technology, like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. He is a CEO of the Softbank. As you know, Sofbank bought sprint last year. And the sprint is looking to buy T-mobile, if it were allowed to. If that happen, the mobile and sprint can be the third competitive party on the mobile market the U.S. You think Japanese are good at only car, don’t you? Japanese is coming also on the mobile market!!. However, what I learned from him is not only about the recent mobile market in the U.S.  He always reminds me I should not look around with my level where I am now. I should aim high wherever I am, I can find always harder way and higher way to be great.

2. Never eat alone.

Since, I found out how the connection is important in every area we are working on. My father told me his story with Son Masayoshi. Son built the memorial hall for Mr. Oh who was best home-run butter in Japanese baseball team, he had world record. Son invited 1000 business man to the exhibition. Son and Mr. Oh shake hands every each person in the front of the building before the event begin. Never eating alone is one of things I have never done for my life. I always eat alone. Because that is comfortable for me. That was all wrong. On this book, there is the story about the former president of the U.S. Bill Clinton. When he is young, he was always taking the memo when he talked somebody at the party. So, someone asked why. He said “I am going to run for ***(I forgot) in the future, so I keep my record for everyone I have met” Everyone wants to be known better to some extent. Who cannot support him for the election?

I guess I had better write the rest later.

Also about the writing. I am going to write something longer than 3000 words this year, ideally more than 10000 words, I will try to keep writing it every month. This month, I am going to write “How to learn English around 30” especially for Japanese. I believe many Japanese cannot use his talent to full by not being capable of speaking and writing English. I might not be wright person though, I would love to give them some ideas to improve their English skills.  I have been in the U.S. almost 2 years, I am sure that I have something to say for them.
