Suggestions that Tokyo Becomes The No.1 Financial Center

This book was written before the financial crisis in September 2008. If this book was written now, the result would be different.
I also think there are many large barriers in Japan, but the strategies how Tokyo becomes the top financial center would be changed. Tokyo is not only for foreigners but also for Japanese. If we Japanese prefer the Tokyo market, why could foreigners choose?

Jounalist's Method to Improve Your English

This book is very useful to improve my English. This author is not a linguist but a journalist. He has learnt to improve his English. I believe the most important thing would be to consider methods to improve my English by myself again and again.
The "Daily Mustle Training" is very helpful to improve my pronunciation.

Kids Movie

I went to a movie "Precure" with my daughter in the Kawasaki Cinecitta. She's looked forward to watching the movie which is popular in girls in Japan since this summer. There are many girls in the theater actually. She was satisfied with the movie and small presents of a card and a small light.

President-Elect Barack Obama



Obama was elected. I have focused on this election for about 1 year. I've been interested in the goodness of the States, whether the people could elect the person "Barack Obama" or not.
There are a lot of goodness in the States. The people doesn't give up the worse circumstances in the USA and the world.
In addition, I've learnt many things from the new president. Especially, it's very important to keep gentle, natural and logical under hard situations.

A Class with Drucker

There are many good explanations for the great Drucker's words by the first graduate of the executive business class of Drucker. I always get the fresh impression when I read the Drucker's books. Almost all knowledge workers would not be interested in their salaries. This author explains the reasons on this book. One example of them is about an American football team in a college.
The college players work for team without any payments under the dangerous situation though coaches always complain, but they don't quit the team and they have much royalties. The situation is very similar with the great company. I completely agree with Drucker.

In addtion, there are some problems on the sea around Japan. The JGC will have more difficult missions as same as the JSF.
