Sea Kayak School

My son tried the Sea Kayak School for Beginners in the Odaiba Kaihin Beach Park by the Tokyo port authorities. I haven't got on. It's also the first time for my son. My son really enjoyed the sea kayak. As far as I saw, getting on a sea kayak on the peaceful sea looked easy.

Windows Vista SP2

I updated my pc to Vista SP2 2 days ago. It has not been changed so much. To start a windows application seems quicker than SP1 a bit. SP2 supports BD-R. I hope to use BD-R in order to back-up for my photo, video and music files, because the size of these files has been much larger.  I can only put these files for a few months into a DVD-R disc.

The Star Principle

Richard Koch wrote the good seller book "The 80/20 Principle". This book also tells how to make a money easily. However, the methods are very difficult to find an efficient area.

He tells main two principles for a successful business.

• Be the top leader in a niche business
  
• The niche business has to grow fast
  

He shows many cases on the two principles, but the principles is to understand easily, but it's so hard to achieve.

Working Problem in Japan

There are many problems of working in Japan. Mika Tsutsumi and Makoto Yuasa tell the problems comparing with the Unites States. They explain some people of the middle class and lower high class in the Unites States such as doctors, lawyers and accountants drop into the low class or quit their jobs because they can't pay their business insurance fees for lawsuits. They also predict the situations would be occured in Japan in the near future though the lower incomes and temporary workers are focued now in Japan. Only becoming a government employee will is best, won't it?

Word Origin

Thousands paperbacks are published in Japan, but allmost all paperbacks are not worth to buy or read, because the publishers publish too many paperbacks with easy understanding titles or contents. I spent only about 20 minutes to read the paperbacks. However, this book is worth to read  very much.
Takashi Waguri calls a hunter of word origins my himself. He has written series of word origins on a magazine. It's difficult to explain the origins of Japanese words in English. If you understand some Japanese, please read this book. I recommend strongly.

War in Heaven

The Japanese Government makes huge budget for the Space every fiscal year. The budgets have been spent for developing the rockets, satellite and joining into the ISS projects.
We should pay more for ecologies and green energies. My opinion could be a short range,  couldn't it? Mankinds have to go to the Space. However, GSP or BS-TV are very convenient. I've used some commercial services through the Space.

Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution

Thomas L. Friedman wrote the million seller book "The World Is Flat". He writes this new book that tells the earth is HOT (climate change), the world is FLAT (globalization) and the people are CROWDED (population issue). We've faced on this issue since 1973 when the first oil crisis was happened. However, I forget the issues soon. I want to live more comfortable, happier and cheaply though they will happen large crisis for my next generations. Geniuses will be born and the heros will help the earth and my next generations...
However, I threw away my own car 10 years ago. I and my family take public transportations. I change all lights at home to compact fluorescent lamps or LED. How do I do anything for the Earth and my next generations?
