How do you manage your schedule?
I managed by notebook till a few years ago.
Now, I do it on website.
I just check it on iPhone APP after that I register my schedule to Google calendar.
It is convenient for me to divide private schedule and work schedule by a color.
If you have used some convenient tools to spend your good time, please tell me them.

The sound of fireworks woke me up in this morning.
It means that athletic meet is held at near elementary school.

Although it is narrow Japan, a custom changes with places.

It is important for us to doubt our common sense.
Japan national football team played a game with Azerbaijan last night.
Midfielder, Keisuke Honda wore the uniform of jersey number 4.
It made us surprised because many midfielder couldn't select the number.
After finishing the game, he responded why he wore the uniform.
The answer was that he didn't have an unique reason.
It is not wrong that midfielder wear the uniform.
If we have sense of incongruity, we just have our common sense.
If there isn't a logical reason, it is important to doubt the sense sometimes.
I learned it from his jersey number.

Takeshi Okada is a former director of Japan national team.
After finishing the game on FIFA world cup in South Africa, he has gone ahead for next step in China.
He urges a player to think actively for making his team grow.
Sometimes, he waits till young players notice what he demands.
It is so difficult for many people to do that.
He is not only director also educator.
I would like to keep in mind.

He was introduced to latest situation on TV yesterday.
If you are interested in his idea, you can watch the problem next Friday.

Many people all over Japan looked up at the sky and watched an annular solar eclipse in this morning.
It was the first time in 900 years that we could watch it at wide range in Japan.
We could watch not an annular solar eclipse but a partial eclipse in Sendai.
At a certain time, nature brings about threat.
nature gives us a joy at another time.
It is important that we face the situation firmly.

It took me about one and a half hours to arrive there by an old rental car.
On the way, I watched covered snow along the route.
It was some times that I went there, but I could't see the lake because of many clouds.
But I did it yesterday !
By the way, can you guess what color of the lake's water it is ?
Blue? No.
It was an emerald green !

Gulfnews announced an interesting news.I share the report with you.

A line of diners, holding on to the shoulders of the person in front of them, enters the pitch dark hall at Nepal's first blind restaurant, which treats guests to food they can smell, touch and taste but not see.
The 16-seat dining room has been heavily curtained from ceiling to floor in black, and the guests grope their way to the table, guided deftly by waiters — all of whom are visually impaired.
However, while similar blind dining venues have already opened in Europe and the United States, the one here comes with the key difference that it provides a rare chance for the Nepali handicapped to gain a measure of independence.
‘‘We should see this from two angles — giving opportunities to the blind and a new experience to the public," said Shyam Kakshhapati, president of the Hotel Association of Nepal.

It provides some values for not only the blind but also the others.
What a splendid challenges it is!

Do you know EXPO2012 in Yeosu Korea has started since this week? A few days ago, I knew that through TV commercials. Yeosu is near Busan which is the second largest city in Korea. EXPO website says that the site has the geographical edge that comes from being adjacent to the ocean, and thus, is ideal for realizing the Expo theme, “The Living Ocean and Coast.” The site overlooks Hallyeosudo Marine National Park and Odong Island, and is surrounded by 317 jewel-like islets, having the perfect natural conditions to make the Expo’s theme come alive.
Why don't you go there if you plan to go to Korea?

To the midst of a seminar, the lecturer urged namecards' exchange for 10 minutes.
He said two sentences after the time had finished.
"We are affected to those meeting".
"The other is that life is a repetition of 10 minutes."
I could exchange them with just 20 people.
(A people exchanged more 30 people!)

I met the great person there.
He is a Japan Airlines' corporate executive officer.
The company's chairman is Mr.Kazuo Inamori who I have respected since the company had failed.
He said his chairman's messages have impressed him so much.
His role as a director is consciousness reform of the company.

I participated in a seminar which a famous consultant sponsored.
He said that we must continue thinking everyday for creating a new value.
In fact, we sometimes tend to look for impossible reasons.
So we must find something to realize them.
I met a man who got realized his dream.
His name is Yuki Mizuno.
When he was a college student in Akita, he decided to realize his dream.
His dream was to establish professional basketball team, although there was no money and human network.
He had only a strong vision which citizen watched the game with joy.
He continued telling it repeatedly.
As a result, he was sympathized by many person.
They helped his dream realizing.
There were many things not to be able to do.
If you can't do them, you can realize them by looking for a man who can do them.
It is the most important for us to visualize our dream clearly and tell them toward many people.
I learn it from him.

A teacher met a dirty child who is ten years old.
She recorded much of his demerit.
She found a record of his past.
It was written that he had been so kind to his friends, study so hard, he was been looked for expecting his future when he was first grader.
When he was second grader, he had to take care of by his mother's sick, and he was sometimes late.
When he was third grader, he had a nap in the classroom because his mother's illness had been bad tired of becoming. His mother had died at the last of that year.
When he was a fourth grader, his father developed alcohol dependence. As a result, he had lost his hope.
She threw away HER PREJUDICE to him.
She asked to him that shall we study after school?
He said yes with a good smile.
He began to change his life from this moment.
She was so happy that he raised his hand for the first time while he had a class.
He began to have confidence.
When he was a 18 years old, he sent a letter to her that he went on to the medical department thanks to scholarship and her support.
After a several years, he became a doctor.
She was invited to his marriage ceremony as his role of a mother.
The breakaway from her prejudice made him a splendid person.
