From Chapter 4 "Stamina "
I have different attitude toward different kinds of people. When I talk with my friends or family I try to be as natural as I can so that I feel relaxed. Most of the time I don't show others how I feel because I want to deal things by myself and explaining what's wrong is a tiring process. However, whenever I need advice I talk with my close friends or my sister. If it's something that can't be helped by myself I ask to my parents or a teacher. Especially, I go to my sister because she always tells me what I'm facing is not a big deal. Those words encourages me a lot that I notice I'm thinking too much seriously. I also try to spend time alone, listening to music, stretching, cleaning the room, reading, going for a walk or visiting an art musuem, which make me feel refreshed.

Assignment #2
When I face with adversity or potential setback I try to keep myself positive speaking with a smile with others. As Ken introduce us in the class about the chopsticks, just smiling makes me feel much better. Even if I lose my optimism sometimes I try not to last that feeling more than a day and tell myself, "Tomorrow is another day!". I tend to think in a serious and a realistic way so I try to make myself more relaxed and flexible. When I talk with people who have gone through a harder situation compared to me, I encourage and cheer myself what I'm facing isn't a problem at all. I also like to read and take notes about people's experiences on newpapers and books. They inspire me a lot that I recognize the moment I'm feeling down is a waste of time and that makes me move on to the next step. I believe experiencing struggles makes a more tough, understandable person. What I was impressed in the book was the three below. 1.Shackleton believe he would succeed, and his belief spread to others. 2. "master motivator who listens as well as he speaks" (Ward) 3. We want people with positive attitude, who enjoy helping others.(by the CEO of Southwest Airlines) From the three above I noticed that people follow the person who is attractive and has the right leadership.

Writing Assignment #1
Long-term Vision
In the future, I'm thinking of setting up a culture school, teaching English, Japanese Calligraphy, Ballet streches. It would be for anyone who wants to learn; small children going to kindergarden, students, career women or housewives. First, I would like to start in a small room in my house. Later on, as there are more students I will change the room to an office, an office to a company. I will hire part-time teachers from those who are high school students, university students and housewives. There will be a system that if you teach something in the field you're good at you will be able to take other classes for free. Although eventually I want to manage the system and the finances, I would always be by the side of the students teaching. I will also ask my mother as a public health nurse and my sister as a teacher of Spanish&Flamenco teacher to hold a class. Hopefully, I could involve my family when they have time and raise my own children surrounded by a lot of people.
Short-term goals
In order to reach the long-term vision, I'm sure I'm going to graduate university and work for a company for a while. At university I'm taking many classes conected to the future like business, education, communication, Japan studies. I haven't decided my major yet so to make a decision, to keep studying for that will be my nearest goal. In the company, I'd like to learn how company works, how people works, how hard it is to earn money and to be an adult dealing with hard things managing all by myself. In the process,I would like to be a person who is attractive in many ways, not only about the leadership and team building but also having communication skills, sociability, manners, etc. I hope I can achieve these small goals step by step as I take the class.
