A problem I have solved -- Tamon Yamamoto

 

Japanese people, especially young people, have a bad tendency for personality, to care about others too much. I was one of them, pay attention to the eye of others.

 When I was a junior high school student, I couldn’t expose myself and say what I wanted to tell them because I was afraid of being hated by my friends. I had been thinking that he or she would get angry or be disgusted if I said something to them therefore, I looked at their faces to see their feelings. This made me exhausted and caused a lot of problems. One of the most painful problems was that I often got an upset stomach because I felt extremely stressed by caring about others.

When my mother found me feeling stressed, she gave me an advice for my problem. Her advice changed my life dramatically. She told me that no one cares about anything else and you had better think of yourself. Just then, I realized that it is useless to care about others because all of people around the world are interested in themself than others and people don’t look at me than I think. After her advice, my life became much more fun. I have been able to say what I want to tell to my friends and been able to do what I want to do in a spontaneous way. I could learn that it is much better to spend time on myself than others.

    That's a good experience. The experience made you tough, and you started to be less stressed. GOOD!

    Hi, Tamon. I am also the person who really care about others, but I understood your mother's really nice advice.

    I think a lot of Japanese have this problem and I'm one of them. That's really relatable but the experience made you strong. That's good.

    Your mother's advice is very nice. I pay attention to the eye of others, too, but I realized the most important things are our feeling.

    A thoughtful post, Tamon, very interesting. While it is good to be sensitive to others' thoughts and feelings, it is important at the same time to be true to oneself, isn't it? You have to do what you think is right. At the end of the day, you alone are answerable for your actions, not others.

  about me Tamon Yamamoto October 17, 2022  Hello, My name is Tamon Yamamoto. I'm  20 years old and from Osaka. However,  I moved to Hiroshima right after I was born and spent 18 years there, where facing the sea and surrounded by a lot of nature. I have a family of four and I am very close with them and have dinner with them every night.  I really love to hang out with my friends and we often go out to have a dinner or drive around. Since I became a college student, I have more choices of places to go and I feel that my life is much more fulfilling. What I am not good at is cleaning my room. I can't keep things organized, but I buy things I don't need and make a mess in my room. Therefore, I would like to learn to distinguish what I need from what I don't need Finally, I would like to talk about my goals. I have never taken TOEIC before, and I do not know how high I can get, but I will do my best to get a high score because this score will be highly evaluated w...

My ideal school -- Ayano Yoshiike

My ideal school Ayano Yoshiike   If I were an educator or a school principal, I’d like to introduce a method called “4 trees”. I have come up with this system by myself, so I’d like to explain it. “4 trees” is a method which 4 educational approaches are combined. The first approach is adopting high tech classes. The second one is adopting outside classes that teach students agriculture and environmentally-friendly activities ． The third one is adopting self-organization study. In this method, students study individually. The fourth one is that teachers teach children, but they get students to solve questions. To adopt this method, children can study inside and outside of their school. Also, they can learn both high tech and traditional education. Also, they can work with their classmates, and they can even have their individual studying time. However, there is a problem. Students would be lazy whilst they are studying by themselves. To solve this problem, we can hire mentors...

Past Pandemics: A Reflection -- Mashiro Yamashita

 I was surprised the most about death toll. For example, because of the plague, about half of Europe’s population was died. It was a surprising number for me.  I think the plague is most terrifying pandemic because the color of skin become black. It is so scary that they might feel very nervous at the time.  What we can learn from these pandemics is that living environment is important. These pandemics occurred because of urbanization, the bad situation of a water pump and so on. If their living environment had been good, we would have been able to prevent these pandemics.  Positive change that has resulted from the Covid-19 is about online shopping. I had an image that only young people shopped online before covid. However, today, more and more elderly people shop online because they couldn’t go supermarket. Thanks to online shopping, they can get goods which they need easily.
