Good season for meeting

Today's climate is very fine. What we call"AKIBARE". My family and I is going to the festival in my graduate univ today. we are looking forward to meet many students and graduates.

Newspaper ...be read more people

I have shocked that my two young colleagues do not read any newspapers. They do not and said that they do not have necessity of reading newspaper because they can access Internet. I think that they are someone like what we call "naked king" in IT society. I explain the necessity and usage of reading newspaper everyday. They have graduated Japanese most excellent university. uhh..That may be Japanese educational system??

What going on "YUBIN-KYOKU"

The president of "NIHON YUSEI" has changed to ex-public executive. Where this bank will go for? Is this governmental bank?? If so, it may lead confusion or disorder. New design of yubin-kyoku is expected strongly.I think that in this point governmental bank 'Japan Fiance Corp. ,Development Bank of Japan and YUCHO-BANK' should merge to one governmental bank and have proper size(today's size may be too big to exist).

Where does Banks going to?

Yesterday Japanese two trust banks(sumitomo and chuo-mitui) will merge at 2010 spring. I do not know the real aim of doing so,I expect those banks to announce to people why they would like to make what kind of new bank , and what the new bank will do and should do. Banks are public organization even though they are private corporation.

Two famous magazine,why stopped?

The Magazine "SHOUGAKU 5 NENSEI and ROKUNENSEI",famous magazine for elementary schoolchild will be stopped next spring. I was surprised to hear that news and read the news's analysis this is because the diversity of recent children's interest. I disagree this analysis. I think that this may be caused by the weakness of children's interest or curiosity. I think this is serious problem.

Hotsprings neighborhood

I went "hot springs" yesterday. There are many people who take a rest for relaxing. Because of the skill for searching and digging springs have been upgraded in these days,many hot springs are found the Tokyo metropolitan area. I think that its good trend for people to enjoy easy relaxing at those hot springs.Those may be a alternative to "Sento(Japanese traditional public bath)".

Good scenery and art give us good imagination

Yesterday my family and I visited "National Museum of Nature and Science" and "Matsuoka Museum of Art" in meguro-ku Tokyo.In those museum there are many good scenery spot and art,for example "Gandhara Art 2 or 3 AD". In front of those art and scenery we can expand our imagination pocket or receptor and we can understand those real value for us. We can not imagine without oppotunity or catalyst.

New datebook

Yesterday I bought a pocket datebook for next year.Its delightful to open the new notebook. The note that have next year's date is symbol of hope.

Career education at junior high school

Yesterday I give a lecture at public junior high school in Chiba prefecture.The theme is 'What is working is? Why do we have a job?' It is a very valuable experience to me because I know the difference to explain and get students understand the meaning of my lecture.Among the lecture student have time to think how many and what kind of job is there in convenience store chain. This is fresh experience for them, I think.

How to know what working is like?

I think that it is important to do career education to young students. In Japan career development is getting more serious and difficult because we are not used to how to get job and how to educate oneself preparing for their new job.

flu-influence

My elder son's class children are send home and the class is close until this weekend. So it is problem that what to do or should to do this week.I think that he should do like in school. And I suggest that he should watch NHK educational program for school. I think that schools should think and prepare for the alternative program for influenza pandemic.

Lack of sense

Japanese people do not read books. According to some research,over 20% people do not read one book per month. This is serious problem. Japan is expected from world because of its progressed economy and highly added-value. To keep this situation,we Japanese must study naturally and customarily.

Diversity of ones sense of values ??

Some columnist say that people(especially young people)have many diverse interest so their sense of values are diverse. So the marketing to those people is very difficult,they intend. But I raise objection to those comments. I think that in these days especially young(including old young) many people do not read newspaper and technical(or specialty) books and cannot shape their own set of opinion and live style. So they do not have any solid interest or curiosity to anything.It is not diverse but there is nothing to be absorbed. That is serious problem.

Private Newsletter

I think that new 'Private' media is growing continuously. In these days mass media(newspaper,TV,radio)lose their power in society because those business model have to be changed by declining the advertising market. So the number of mass media(especially TV) program to watch is decreasing. On the other hand,people get their own private media(for example,private mailing newsletter or brog)to send their message or information to the public.

Bankers mobility

Banks have to change their business model to customer oriented. To fulfill that purpose, bankers might get mobility of their carriers.In Japan people who work at bank hesitate to change their job, but because of this custom,bankers have few chance to know what is happening in real business scene.And they can not have idea how to grow business,only giving loan and collecting loan.That is tragedy,I think.

Commercial Bank's role

Today's paper said that Japanese commercial banks hesitate to loan to SME(small and medium size enterprises).I think this means banks do not play their role in economy. Banks should think and act how to deliver money to SME properly not just hesitating.Hesitate means that they do not use their brain at all.So they cannot grow ability to investigate SME and give advice to SME's presidents.That is a serious problem.

A man of character is ideal teacher

Teachers needs fine character,not excessive information. They front to students and people who have interest to students future,not to just information or lecture. It is difficult to grow or raise ones character,so teachers need to keep in touch with surroundings and change themselves continuously.Today's comment is suggested by my father(in law)'s letter.

Online university hope

I met and discussed with officers,founding online university.I think that online university should have a new role in Japan.The role is guaranteeing the basic educational right to working high school students.In these days,there may be many people who cannot give needful education to their children because of lack of money and consciousness. I think that those children should be independent from their parents when they graduate junior high school.And they go to high school and university with working.They economical or social situation may get better than if they are depend on their parents.

Computer trap

I think that people misunderstand the computer's unablity. Computer is productedjust for calculation,not for draw pictures or make some decision.This is important.

The merit of duscussion

In my lecture I have settled several times for discussion between me and attendees. At that session, they announced questions and impressions.And other people added their views or opinions. After those discussions,we could know better what they did not know or had attention.Those gave me many useful information.

Lecture for consultant

I gave a lecture for consultants of small business yesterday. The theme of this lecture was "Practical M&A".Attendees were very active and they gave me many questions and suggestions .The lecture gave me many useful information.

Grow company

I think that people who have strong will to grow company are necessary to be active.In many company there are few those people.To increase those people,we need some education to teach the importance of respectable company.

3 hours delay

Yesterday commuter trains stopped about three hours by the typhoon. I waited train to start on my way to office about 3 hours! That was valuable experience.

Typhoon has come

Strong typhoon is coming to Japan this week. We should take care of its course.And we can have a chance to check which we prepare for disaster.

Misokateu in nagoya

Yesterday I visited nagoya station and I went to famous restaurant of misokatsu " fried pork cutlet with miso sauce". Size of cutlet was big size "waraji"that means the size of cutlet is big as straw sandals.

Carrier education

I think that carriereducation have to bespreaded and high quality.To do so,we should_provide our resource.

How compulsory education deal with poverty

I think that compulsory education is the last resort to poverty.Compulsory education is expected to provide students to know how to live after graduating junior high school.How to get money from labor or other social support and how to get their home,dormitory for example.

Guarantee the educatiuonal right

There is a crisis in Japanese education,I think. There are many educated people and fluent property all right,but also there is differ in quality and quantity in personal asset and lives.Some children can have good education but some cannot. Those difference may get wider and wider these days. At NHK TV have a special section in those difference tonight 9 PM.

Olympic carnival

I looking forward to the Rio's Olympic 2016. The Olympic do in South America for the first time. And those area is developing now and future. We can see those change in the near future. In Brazil,there are many emigrants from Japan. So there may be many distant relatives.

Private relaition leads to public relation

I think that private relation is important because that make people dealing with public relation good and properly.So if one would like to have happy job or work,he or she should create good private relation.

Private study session

Yesterday I attend a small meeting for studying DRUCKER'S BOOK. Attendants study hard and have a active discussion after work.Its a fresh experience.People who attend the meeting have their own position in terms of studying and having human relations.
