thinking of others

It's great to pursue our own will as well as accomplish things, and I'm also one of them who vigorously try to find my way following intuition, normal 20s' something living in a capital city, Tokyo. However, if such feeling accelerates unconsciously, it's a bit dangerous. It's because that being obsessed with ourselves leads us to have less space to care about others. For sure, various severe situation can make it difficult for people to have extra space for others, yet other than that, it's always possible for us to make more effort to keep an eye on others.

Honestly speaking, every now and then, I forget very basic fact that I cannot live alone.(I mean it "mentally") It sounds shameless and ridiculous but true, so I've constantly got to reflect on things going on in my daily life, for instance, who did what, and what's for.... remember subtle behavior...in detail. And then, there will be so many things I can realize through that reflection. Like, "oh yeah, I'm given much more than giving." and I might be able to do something in return for him/her. I don't mean it material return but some action which shows appreciation. Or even not be given anything, if there is someone bothered or seem to need some help, why not suggesting him/her to eat out, having drinks? My action could be totally useless, but who knows. Might be. Sometimes people just need someone to hear their stories and problems.

From so many experiences that I'm supported by others, I think I need to think of others and do something in return or do something when it's necessary for others. Pursing my dream is important but I should consider people and things around me. Oh, this is like telling myself through writing here:) Anyway, I hope that there is someone to support you when it's needed and also you're the one who support them at some point too.

many thoughts about the internationalization in Japan

As one of recent dendencies in Japan, more and more companies are emphasizing the importance of mastering English due to improve the international competitiveness which is the most concern for current Japan. Indeed, learning another language, most likely, English is a must, an inevitable key to survive economically for the future. However, I doubt that most people fully understand what it means to catch up with this incrediblly fast internationalization.

It's likely that learning English is enough to compete with other countries, but obviously it's not enough because english is only a part of tool to communicate with the world. After all, it's just a language, that's that. There is necessity to comprehend various cultural background in each country. And, we shouldn't focus too much on only english, rather should learn another language besides englsih nowadays. In this sense, Japan is terribly left behind compared with other developed countries.

Moreover, another point that I'm concerned is that we should make it sure what kind of position to take in terms of leaning english. Even though I mentioned above, "language is just a language", leaning another language itself more or less can be cultural enlightenment of the place where that language is mainly spoken. I love learning other languages, for example English and Chinise, yet to be honest, as for english, I sometimes hate it. It's because some people take english only as imports from Western Countries, mostly U.S. For instance, when it comes to study abroad in order to improve English or whatsoever, it's still maintream to go to U.S..... according to my personal assumption, the definition of "foreign country" is so grossly one-sided especially among people who have never been abroad. "Foreign country"can be wherever outside of Japan, plus "foreign people" can be from anywhere, Asia, Africa, Middle East... In such a internationalized world, that image should be removed right away; otherwise, we'll be just absorbed by the Western Country.

The flexiblity and adaptivity of other languages and cultures will play an important role regarding international competitiveness from now on.

Well...my thoughts are messed up in this post, sorry!:( There are too many things in my mind to sort it out, hahhhaaa.
