page 9. A person's life is long enough to fulfill their mission! Are you doing everything you can to seize opportunities?

This is Jiku. This time, I'd like to discuss the meaning of a person's life. I'll be writing about the theme, "A person's life is long enough time to fulfill their mission."

A person's life. Hmm. A person's life is fleeting and difficult. I recommend living each day to the fullest. If you spend a day pushing yourself to the limit, and before you know it, the sun has already set, it's not such a bad thing.

As a day, it's very short because you're focused on work, but when you look at it as a month or a year, it's strange how a month or a year ago feels like a distant past. A person's life is long enough time to fulfill their mission.

I think this statement only applies when you live each day desperately to fulfill your mission. As for what a mission is, I think what one considers a mission is different for each person. You

don't necessarily need to live for someone else, and even if it's your own dream, I think that dream is a fine mission. I feel that thinking of a mission as simply a future dream is a bit too simplistic and they're not the same thing.

That said, future dreams can also be seen as goals that you must achieve, so they can also be seen as a kind of mission.

Even if your mission is to take action to make society better, as long as that mission doesn't go in the wrong direction, you should be able to see a concrete path forward of what you need to do.

I, too, worked 16 hours a day, and at one point I thought I had fulfilled my mission. I thought I had fulfilled my mission when I was satisfied with my work and felt I didn't need to ask for anything more.

However, looking back now, I realize that I was only halfway there, and that there may be an unseen future ahead, which I later came to understand is that thinking about that opens up even more possibilities for the future.

From my experience, I can say that a mission is the role given to you, and fulfilling that role, that is, being satisfied with your work, is what it means to fulfill your mission.

Lately, I've been thinking of this blog itself as a kind of self-improvement, but it's also part of my mission, and I feel it's correct to see that I'm fulfilling my mission by writing this blog.

Fulfilling the role given to you by society is not easy. The higher your aspirations, the greater the role you should be given.

Historical figures are unforgettable individuals who fulfilled great missions, but even without such grand missions, I believe that if each individual lives honestly in society, goals that they must achieve will naturally become apparent.

Even if those goals seem meaningless at first glance, through the earnest effort to achieve them, the goals may change shape and transform into the goals that we should have originally strived for.

That is where our growth and future lie, and by clearing each challenge, our vision will broaden, and we will be able to see things we couldn't see before.

In my case, I would say that blogging is a kind of mission, but I still can't clearly envision whether I want to use it for self-improvement or education.

However, if I continue to write daily records of my thoughts and feelings, I think that the ideal form of my blog—my mission—will eventually appear before my eyes.

To avoid feeling inadequate at that time, it is wise to complete the necessary studies now, before a new mission becomes clear. I believe that a person's mission is to be given a suitable goal that requires the appropriate level of ability for that person.

Mission is a difficult topic. My favorite proverb, "Do your best and leave the rest o fate," also implies that in order to fulfill one's mission, one must work hard and prepare thoroughly, and then wait for the opportunity to come. This shows that there are two stages:

the stage of working hard to prepare, and the stage of being fully prepared and waiting for the opportunity. If one lacks ability, the opportunity will never come, and even if it does come, one will not be able to fulfill it.

In other words, it seems important to live each day to the fullest so that one's abilities improve and one is in a state where one can fulfill the opportunity whenever it comes. Live

each day so densely that you can't remember what you did an hour ago.

In a sense, you are in a state of memory loss in the short term of a day, but when you look back over a medium-term span of a month or a year, it feels like it was so long ago that you can't remember. By accumulating this over a long-term span of 5 or 10 years in the form of daily work, you acquire overwhelming ability.

I, too, have been striving to fulfill my mission not just for 5 or 10 years, but I'm approaching 15 years of experience. Seniors with 20 or 30 years of training may scold me, saying I still have a long way to go, but after struggling to fulfill my mission for 15 years, I feel a firm confidence that I have a solid foundation that cannot be shaken by a gentle breeze.

In the world of sports, the mid-30s is often the time to retire, but for those who compete intellectually, or for businessmen, the 30s and 40s are the years when they can perform at their best.

I am currently in my mid-30s, and five years have already passed since my first competitive period at age 30, but I want to achieve great success in the next 15 years, starting with this blog. The first step is updating this blog every day, and from here I would like to expand my field of business.

Until a few years ago, my mission was to make society a better place, but now, through this blog, I live each day with a renewed sense of mission: to nurture and educate the next generation.

First and foremost, as a preliminary step to nurturing future generations, I believe my own potential lies in experimenting with the possibilities of this blog.

This article has given me much to think about, and Im also curious to hear the reactions of my readers. Our mission takes root in our daily lives.

What do we consider to be our purpose in life, and how do we challenge our own potential? I believe that our mission lies in the daily training we undergo to realize our limitless potential.

What is your mission? What preparations are you making for that mission? So that when an opportunity comes your way, you can seize it with your own abilities. That's all. Thank you. Jiku.

page 8. Input with difficult words and output with easy words!? Let's start by looking through the most difficult textbook!

 Hello. This is Ten Watanabe. Today's article is about "inputting with difficult words and outputting with easy words."

If you want to read difficult texts, I recommend buying a thick medical textbook. In reality, a thick textbook of over 1000 pages takes a lot of time to read even if you read it normally, and it is difficult to make progress because difficult technical terms appear frequently.

When I read difficult textbooks, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation, like encountering the unknown. In my twenties, I diligently read from the first page to the last in order, but recently I have come to think that this method of reading from beginning to end is inefficient.

In other words, I believe that the learning effect is greatly improved by having a theme, such as what you want to know or what you want to research, rather than just vaguely skimming through the textbook in order. Now

I would like to talk a little about general principles. Reading from beginning to end in order is the simplest method, and that is precisely why it is an inefficient method. Even if you read through a thick medical textbook, you'll likely remember very little of it.

Of course, memory varies from person to person, and some people have eidetic memory, able to remember everything at a glance. However, computers are far superior in memory, and they can easily retrieve information by simply searching for keywords.

I agree that, generally speaking, machines have a better memory than humans. However, in terms of creativity, artificial intelligence cannot currently surpass talented creators. Even in creativity, a minimum level of foundational knowledge is necessary, and creative activity is impossible without a foundation.

Personally, I feel that memory and creativity have a positive correlation, meaning they enhance each other. To achieve this, I believe that the initial stage of learning requires reading through all the given materials.

Beginners often don't even know what they want to learn, and reading famous, slightly expensive classics that everyone recommends can gradually broaden their understanding of the subject they are studying.

Textbooks, as a collection of information, are a valuable tool when you want to gain an overall understanding.

For beginner learners who want to study, a simple method of reading through an easy-to-understand textbook from beginning to end should give them a general overview of the subject they are studying.

If they have read it once, reading it two or three more times should deepen their understanding. I have tried various learning methods and would like people with many learning methods to try the first theme: "inputting with difficult words and outputting with easy words." I think there are

many advanced learners who can read textbooks with difficult words. When reading difficult texts, they probably aim to understand everything from beginning to end, and have a complete understanding by the time they finish reading. Trying to

understand everything from beginning to end and read through the contents of a difficult textbook is inefficient in itself. Even with difficult textbooks on subjects I am learning for the first time, I make the reckless challenge of trying to understand everything the first time I read them.

In addition, I am not the type of person who will read a single textbook for days or weeks until it is finished, so after reading the first 30 pages I get bored and move on to another textbook.

I think Japanese textbooks are often difficult at the beginning. It's possible that the authors intentionally made the first part difficult out of enthusiasm, but if you can get through the first 100 pages, the remaining pages won't be so difficult.

Of course, one reason for this is that you build up a tolerance by reading the first 100 pages, but even if there are a lot of difficult differential and integral calculus formulas at the beginning, the calculations often become simpler, involving addition and multiplication, as you get further into the book.

This article is approaching 2000 characters, so let's wrap things up. In Japanese textbooks, the first 100 pages are written in a difficult style. This shouldn't be the case with English textbooks from overseas, but overseas textbooks are thick.

Of course, one reason for this is that 100 pages of text in Japanese might translate to around 250 pages in English.

As information that can be used all over the world, I would say that you should start by challenging yourself with the most difficult textbook, just like you would challenge yourself with the most difficult game. Because if you can get through the most difficult textbook after several months, the rest of the books will all be easier.

Furthermore, I recommend summarizing the content of that difficult textbook in your own words, expressing it in simple terms, and posting it on social media. Ultimately, being unable to express difficult content in any other way than in a difficult way is one of the characteristics of a lack of deep understanding.

I believe that by breaking down difficult texts and rephrasing them in simple terms, one can get closer to a complete understanding of the subject. In the end, if you try to understand difficult content in a difficult way, it will be difficult to make progress in understanding.

By taking the extra step of changing difficult words into simple words, you can think in simple terms, which helps you to see the essence of the matter.

page 7!!The secret to consistent success is a deep love for practice!? We want to do what we have a natural talent for and what we absolutely love

Hello. This is Ten Watanabe. Today's theme is "The secret to consistently winning is that you absolutely love practicing." Consistently winning. Hmm. I think there are two patterns to the word "win." The so-called founding and maintaining.

First, you need to start by aiming to be number one. Anyone who aspires to be number one starts out as a beginner. Isn't it common for people entering any industry to begin with menial tasks as a kind of apprenticeship?

In general society, whether at school or at work, senior colleagues will teach you a lot at first. They should explain the bare minimum necessary things once you enter that industry.

I believe that what I learned from my seniors is also important. They patiently taught me the traditions that have been passed down for a long time, and by faithfully following them, a certain level of quality can be ensured.

I recommend imitating the most skilled senior you encounter. If that senior is kind, they will likely teach you the secrets to being the best in detail. Don't jump to conclusions and assume they won't tell you such important things right away; the quickest way to learn is to ask them repeatedly, humbly but not persistently.

If you meticulously imitate the teachings of your most senior colleague, you will eventually be able to achieve results and may even become the top player in that industry.

At that point, instead of becoming complacent and thinking "it's all good now that I'm number one," it's important to accept that the founding phase is over. Becoming number one means you've founded your business, that is, you've launched your own brand.

People passing by will praise you when they realize you're number one. Being showered with praise like that might make you think you're already number one without even trying. However, once you've achieved being number one—that is, founding your business—the next step is maintaining it.

You often hear about title defenses in boxing and other sports. When you become the best among a group of people in a certain weight class, you then have to maintain that top position. Defending a title means successfully holding onto the title of being the best among the people in that designated weight class.

Which is more difficult, starting a business or maintaining it? Which is more important, becoming number one or maintaining the number one position? I believe that the reason why people who become number one can't maintain it is because they are too complacent with themselves.

Those who endure rigorous and grueling training, restrict their diets, refrain from leisure activities, and maintain a serious and stoic attitude, can sometimes gain unimaginable wealth and fame by becoming number one.

Therefore, some people use that money and prestige to neglect their rigorous training and start having fun. No one, being human, can endure training without a clear goal. After achieving the goal of becoming number one, many people lose sight of their next goal and instead pursue whatever they want.

If you continue training with the same stoicism you used when you were number one, you're unlikely to lose your top position. However, not many people strive to maintain their number one position. In other words, even if you become number one, if you become complacent, you won't be able to maintain it and will lose to those who are working hard to become number one.

At the top level, there's probably not much difference between the first and second place finishers in terms of physical and intellectual abilities. Therefore, a slight difference in practice time can be the deciding factor. However, those who have approached practice as a chore will find it difficult to maintain their position even after reaching the top, as they will have to continue that grueling training indefinitely.

Of course, some people who aim to be number one absolutely love practicing. When you're doing something you love, practicing after becoming number one isn't a chore; you'll proactively and voluntarily engage in training.

I believe the difference between someone who ends up being number one and someone who can stay number one is whether or not they enjoy practicing. In the end, the simple answer is that you can't beat someone who is doing what they love.

No matter how much you practice or how long you practice, you can never beat someone who enjoys the process and doesn't see the effort as hard work, because they are always the one who actively dedicates time to it.

You could say that's just his natural talent, but no one can beat someone who is having so much fun. It might take time for someone who is having so much fun to beat someone who practices hard for long hours, but once they become number one, they can just continue practicing with the same enjoyment as always, and that's what makes them strong.

Those who believe that professionals must practice even when it's not fun lack a certain perspective: they cannot compete with professionals who have never once felt that practicing was not fun.

Ultimately, the best story about starting and maintaining a business is about wholeheartedly enjoying what you love to the fullest throughout your life. Even if someone becomes a professional because they're better at it than others, even if they don't particularly love it, they can't compete with a passionate enthusiast who finds it incredibly enjoyable. The professional world is teeming with talented enthusiasts.

If we want to be number one, we first do something we have a knack for. If we want to maintain that number one position after becoming number one, we do something that we have a knack for and that we absolutely love. Perhaps the secret to founding and maintaining a business lies here. I hope you find something you can dedicate your life to and that you absolutely love. That's all. Thank you. Ten Watanabe.

page 6! One suggestion I would like to make is to speak with the strength of the tongue, and if you are a good singer, you know that if you sing with the strength of the "throat Buddha", you can sing a clear song -R86plusA-

 Hello. This is the Ten Watanabe of the R86plusA blog.

There are people who have a bad tongue and find it difficult to listen to them when talking. I have had several experiences where I thought it was difficult for elderly people to listen to them, perhaps because of their dentures.

The fact that the tongue is not smooth and it is difficult to hear what is being said is a disadvantage for both the speaker and the listener.

One suggestion I would like to make is to speak with your tongue. If you are a good singer, you know that if you put effort into singing "Nodobutsu", you can sing a clear song.

However, the problem here is not the "throat", but the "tongue". I think that people who have difficulty hearing their voices probably don't have strength in their tongues.

Therefore, by practicing vocalization while putting effort into your tongue, it will be easier for the other person to hear you.

Even when singing, if you not only focus on the "throat Buddha", but also on the "tongue", you can go to the next stage one step further.

If you can't get your voice to be understood, why not try various things by focusing on your throat and tongue?

page 5!! There is a famous story about how many times you need to fold paper to fold 1mm paper and cross Mt. Fuji, and the answer is 22 times -R86plusA-

 Hello. This is Ten Watanabe of the R86plusA blog. Computers need to think about memory, which is the amount of data.

Until now, there have been various digital media such as blogs, audio media, and images, but the mainstream these days is still video distribution. Videos are informative, and you can get a lot of information at a glance.

On the other hand, there are also limitations in data capacity, and a single video can be very large as data, such as hundreds of megabytes.

Even if the computer itself has a lot of terabytes (1 million times 1 megabyte), if you take and store many videos, the memory capacity will naturally decrease. However, if it is a text file with only text written on it, it often takes only a few kilobytes (1/1000th of a megabyte).

Here, let's review the part-time job. 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes, 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes, 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes.

By the way, the reason why it is 1024 instead of 1000 is that computers represent data only with the numbers 0 and 1 called binary numbers. Therefore, the capacity of data such as the power of 2 is easier for a computer to handle.

Multiply 2 to the power of 10, that is, 2 10 times, to get 1024. There is a famous story about how many times you need to fold paper to cross Mt. Fuji by folding 1mm paper, and the answer is 22 times. It might be interesting to do some math on this yourself.

The power of 2 is an exponential increase, and if you multiply it by 2 100 times or 1000 times, it becomes an astronomical number.

When it comes to cryptography, which is computer security, this idea called exponential has become the mainstream today, and exponential cryptographic digits are realized.

page 4! If you are asked to shop without any trouble, you will not accept it obediently, and at least let me buy at least one of the sweets -R86plusA-

 Hello. This is Ten Watanabe of the R86plusA blog. There is a formula that says income - cost = profit.

The idea of income is generally based on production (quantity) x price (price) in economics.

However, in the real economy, it is absolutely not possible to sell all the quantity produced as it is, so it seems that the general income formula is to use sales quantity x price.

If all the products can be sold, you will mass-produce Mercedes-Benz.

So, in this case, if the sales quantity is Acheieve x (Ax) and the price is price(p), it becomes pAx. As for the cost, the production volume is multiplied by the cost per unit, so it is production volume (x) x marginal cost (MC).

So, if you become an enlightened monk who says that you don't need profit, your profit will be zero.

You can't think of zero profit. If you are asked to shop without any trouble, you will not accept it obediently. At least let me buy one of the sweets.

After all, income - expense = profit is pAx-xMC=π. And if the profit is zero, pAx = xMC, and the sales pAx and expense xMC match.

If the production volume is 15 units, the sales quantity is 10 units, and the marginal cost is $5, then p=xMC/Ax, so p=(15×5)/10=$7.5. In other words, if you set the price per piece to $7.5, you will not be in the black or in the red, but the sales and expenses will be the same, that is, zero profit.

Here, the story jumps skyward, but there is a concept called the quantity theory of money in macroeconomics. The formula MV = PT is M: money supply, P: prices, V: speed of money circulation, and T: real GDP.

Here, the person who hits the nail on the head is sharp. If PT = MV, it can be reduced to the formula of income = expense. If p=P, T=Ax, M=x, V=MC, then the two formulas will match.

Furthermore, if we say M: money stock M3, T: real GDP, P: CPI (consumer price index), and V: multiplier effect, the story will expand more and more. The equations pAx=xMC and MV=PT are also related to the IS-LM model of macroeconomics.

From here, through macroeconomics and microeconomics, new ways of thinking will be born more and more.

If you push it further, the formula p = MC is famous in microeconomics, but if P (price) = V (multiplier effect), M (money supply) = T (real GDP).

At this point, we can see that the current money stock M3, which amounts to 1,500 trillion yen, can achieve an efficient economic environment suitable for market principles by matching the real GDP of 550 trillion yen.

As an aside, money stock = credit multiplier x monetary base.

Monetary base = "Bank of Japan bill issuance" + "money circulation" + "Bank of Japan current account".

And that's it. See you then.

page 3 !! You may have spent the last five years living the same routine, but the day will come when the things you've diligently built up over those five years will be recognized. -R86plusA-

Hello. This is Ten Watanabe from R86plusA. What is the purpose of a human life?

From infancy to old age, a person begins at zero and ends at zero. During this time, what is gained, and what is lost?

It's human nature to want to acquire as much as possible while you're alive. There's no stability in a life lived haphazardly. I'm not sure if "stability" is the right word, but even people who treat their lives like a gamble might be seeking the stability of possessing many things.

Stability is good, but it's not good if it holds you back. Growth follows stability, and stability follows growth. People are likely seeking a sense of stability in society.

People want things to be predictable and for things to proceed in a natural way. They hope that no unforeseen events occur when people seek stability. They earnestly hope that they can avoid accidents through their own efforts.

I feel uneasy about living day to day without building anything substantial. I don't need to climb Mount Everest, but I want to aim to be one of the top-ranking mountains in my country.

If you gain experience successfully, you have the potential to conquer even the highest mountain. Some people might lose motivation when told to build things up little by little. Whether you become motivated or discouraged when told you have to work hard for another five years depends on the individual.

Amidst all of that, the day will come when the hard work you've diligently put in over five years will be recognized. You may have felt like you were going about your daily life as usual, but five years will surely feel like a very long time.

The more intense your efforts become, the more you are at the mercy of the passage of time. However, if you continue to perform brilliantly on stage five years from now, you will eventually reap significant rewards. At that point, you will be faced with two choices.

The question now is whether to seek stability and play it safe, or to continue for another five years and challenge yourself to reach an even higher peak. Humans are not simple creatures. When fortunate enough to be faced with these two choices, whether to play it safe or to push forward will vary from person to person.

As for myself, I want to live a moderate life, neither playing it safe nor going on the offensive. If I've been able to persevere for five years, then it shouldn't be impossible to persevere for another five years ten years from the start.

While athletes face age-related limitations due to declining physical abilities, intellectual abilities have the advantage of becoming more refined with experience.

Even intellectual ability sometimes requires physical strength, but there are diverse ways to fight, including both. What will remain after 5, 10, 20, or 30 years? We may be faced with a choice.

page 2 !! Because it's a world of self-satisfaction, the result of dividing by 1 to average out one sample—so to speak, one person is both ordinary and special—can be anything. -R86plusA-

Hello. This is Ten Watanabe from R86plusA. I have a living bible.

In religious terms, this could be a renowned monk, or even the founder of a top-tier company. As they age, they accumulate more experience and generate new ways of thinking.

When that person speaks, everyone listens intently. A living Bible can be said to be someone who, having weathered the storms of everyday society, neither falls nor runs off, but simply fulfills their mission.

What is a mission? It is a destiny assigned to a person, a life only they can fulfill. Those with a mission make many sacrifices. They are people who live unique lives, not ordinary lives.

Was that mission something that descended from heaven? Or was it something that they truly wished to achieve in order to survive in everyday society?

Each person's destiny is different. There is no superiority or inferiority among them. However, it is abundantly clear that a stronger mission will prevail over others.

There's no way that a mission achieved through relentless effort and dedication won't be realized. Once it's achieved, a new mission will surely stand before you. By carefully accomplishing each of these missions one by one, you will move closer to your ideal state.

Having ideals is good, but it's not essential. Even if your actions seem like spur-of-the-moment solutions, as long as you have a general idea, the results of your actions will eventually settle into their intended form. Comparing your personal goals to those of others is meaningless; they are ultimately a matter of self-satisfaction.

However, because it's self-satisfaction, it's like dividing one sample by 1 to average out the idea that you are both ordinary and special. One person's result divided by 1 can be anything. Someone thinks they are special because they are doing something special.

Even beautiful people cannot remain beautiful without any effort. If that's the case, then it's impossible that someone living an extraordinary life isn't putting in some effort.

In the sense of living one's own life, one can only judge one's own life subjectively, because one has not lived any other person's life.

Furthermore, those who believe their own lives are unique to them and that their own thoughts are their living bible are truly fortunate.

There's no point in comparing yourself to others. Since no two people are exactly alike, comparing them is pointless because the standards are completely different.

Before you get consumed by petty jealousy or pride, I want you to stop and think: Why is that person special? That person does special things in order to be special.

If you can understand that, you should be able to make your own life something special without interfering in other people's lives. Of course, you should only listen to other people's opinions, including mine, as reference.

So, what will you accomplish next? That might be the problem you're currently facing.

page 1 !! First point! In my opinion, there are many things that are most important to human beings, but among them, the most important is "memory," and without memory, that is, knowledge, we can't do anything. -R86plusA-
