We are what we do.

Aristotle (384-322 B.B.), a Greek philosopher and a scientist, said “We are what we repeatedly do” which means what we repeatedly do will be the appearance of ourselves in the future.

A person who apologises everyday will be living with apology and, a person who complains against the world is going to live against everything forever. Therefore we should continuously ask ourselves to what we want to be, find what we need, and live faithfully for our goals every day.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) also said “The future depends on what we do in the present”. This proverb is sometimes applied by politic purposes, but the quote is the truth of life, because the future is surely an abbreviation of behaviour what we are doing.

I think humans are making their own appearance by themselves. The appearance of the future will be come from the present, so if we do our best, the future will be what we want to be.

Now I want to ask you something. What is your plan after reading this post?

People who turned their back

If someone turns back on you, what do think or feel seeing their back? I think there are only two ways of thinking or feeling, and we can only select one of these.

First, you have a chance to console and hug someone from the back, which means the joy for the opportunity that you can embrace and share something. That just comes from a positive way.

Second, watching someone turning their back on you, you just feel sad or lonely. Which means someone is going far from you and never comes back again. That is a negative way. I would recommend “be cool”

Living in the world, we just have two ways at any moment which should be chosen by you and we only get one choice.

How do you feel about that? It is up to you. Positive? or Nagative? 

We are afraid of the wrong things.

Before I discuss about the topic, I would like to ask you “Do you know the difference between wrong and different things. The meaning of word “wrong” from a dictionary means that it is deviating from truth or fact like “You cannot play the basketball because you are short” that sounds very ridiculous. No one knows you are good at that or not. The meaning of word “different” is defined by “not alike in character or quality” like there are different questions or answers which always include plural and imply varieties.

Cape Town has Multi-Culture in terms of its languages, races and people. I have met lot of people for four years. There were straight and homosexual people among them. Actually I had prejudices about homosexuals, but I realised that they are not wrong but just different while being familiar with them. They just got different preference to not like wrong one. I was full of prejudices against them and all I did was just judging before I met them. That is wrong thing. Prejudices always bear wrong judgements.

As I am one of the straight people, I am concerned about their saying “We are afraid of the wrong things”.

Crossroads between desperate and normal

There is a story about a master and disciple in Talmud. The disciple asked, “how do I get the wisdom you have got?”. The master brought him a pond and plunged his face into the pond. The disciple had not realised the wisdom comes from desperation until he could breathe again. During the 911 terrors in the United State, many people jumped out of the building. Between an easy and painful death, they chose the easy way. How much did they want to live in that chaotic situation before they jumped outside?

The desperation that the disciple wanted, and because the people in the building were eager to live before jumping out, means there is no option or choice.

If there is a mission, it never considers impossibilities.

Fish falling from the sky.

By default, I want to ask you, “Have you ever seen fish falling from the sky?”. Because I have not even seen that strange phenomenon; but it does not matter whether you answer yes or no, because we are already living in the quaint world where many fish are falling from the sky.

By just 20 years ago, we, normal people, did not think, expect or imagine the hand-held computers like a smart phone. It was just our hope or imagination that we watched on TV.

Fish falling from the sky is not bizarre phenomenon. We created social and ecological environment for the fish with creation of the internet. Now are you still just watching the fish from sky? I would say you could see fire-breathing fish like dragons later in the future.

What is the colour of the wind?

We think all visible things are only tangible.

Can we see wind? Surely, we can recognise wind anywhere. Sometimes, it was soft or mild in a warm day, but it was very stormy when raining in our memories. Colours of the wind could be dependent on what you did and felt at the time. If you felt active, delight, joy or hope, the colour is close to a bright one. On the other hand, if we felt like screaming, anger or despair, it is close to a dark colour. The wind blows to us through memories called colours.

Wind is the flow of air that we live without.

What is the colour of wind in your current life? It could probably be close to smoky and dark, or clear and bright, because many colours get mingled. However, the thing that I want to tell you is, we cannot deny that “wind and colour” (namely “scenery”) is our life.

If  I were a boss?

If I were a boss, firstly, I will approach employees as a friend. There are two groups in organisations. The first one is fighting each other between a boss and employees and the second is working together as a boss on the staff's side and staff on the boss's side. Which group will survive longer? The latter will definitely survive longer. Power and struggle just make the vitality of business shorter and it does not help at all.

Secondly, I will communicate with employees a lot. Organisations have possibilities to perish at any time. It could be done by my decision or mistake of employees. Communications give a sense of confidence. Surely, aggressive conversation is too bad to obtain trust. I should get trust from employees so we can trust each other through continuous dialog. The more I know at a personal level the greater we build up our trust.  That is my phase of boss.
