Book 35. I'm aiming for a website-style blog. I'll limit the total number of articles to 250-500 and focus on creating meaningful content.

 Hello. This is Watanabe Ten from the Kiyofuji Medical Academy Blog. This time, I'd like to introduce this blog, "Kiyofuji Medical Academy Blog." This blog site has a long-term domain registration for the benefit of long-term readers. This is because I intend to continue blogging for a long time. Currently, the domain is valid from mid-May 2026 until 2030. I also recommend this web hosting service.

The reason I emphasize acquiring a domain name is because I'm a beginner who started a blog site using a free blogging platform. Of course, I also emphasize this to those of you who have already acquired a domain name through a rental server for serious blog management from the start. I believe both approaches have their pros and cons, and I don't know which is right or wrong.

Actually, even free blogs can be monetized if your goal is money. However, the difference lies in whether you pay for a web server and domain name, and whether you want to operate the site as a personal website. As an individual, I have no intention of abandoning my domain, but if you abandon a domain, the website, such as a blog, that uses that domain will be reset to its original address.

My biggest fear is losing data and making the site inaccessible. If I have backed-up data, I can easily restore the blog site and display the original site, but once I lose the domain, I lose the online address of that site. In other words, the readers who were accessing that blog site would not know which address (URL) to access.

I'm certainly not wealthy, but I think it's wise to secure a web hosting service and domain name for the next three years. That's because blogging requires a long-term perspective, and just like the idea that fishing will make you happy for life, it requires a long-term strategy. Blogging itself isn't something that can easily increase page views in a short period of time.

I'm aiming for a website-style blog. By keeping the total number of articles constant, for example, by setting a limit of 250 or 500 articles, I'll reduce the number of new posts and increase the amount of meaningful content within the blog. In other words, I'll expand the content by adding various things to the content of each article I've posted in the past.

Here, let's discuss the difference between a general-interest blog and a specialized blog. General-interest blogs, such as diaries that cover a variety of genres, are more sensitive to trends than specialized blogs. Therefore, the articles posted are only temporarily relevant and quickly lose value over time.

As a result, a large number of miscellaneous articles are produced that no one accesses. I think it's a great waste to produce so many articles that no one reads. Many past articles are excellent and worth rereading, and there should be many past articles that are valuable assets.

I think I need to change my blog site to one that encourages readers to reread older articles. This will encourage repeat readers to access past posts again and again. Instead of posting new articles every day, publishing them in batches at the beginning of the month or week will increase the likelihood that readers and fans will reread older articles in the time leading up to the new posts.

The reason why readers and fans don't read past articles is that they have already read them once, so they have lost value to the readers, and at the same time, they are already full of daily updates.

I don't recommend simply rewriting and rewriting past articles. It's fine if you display both the original and the rewritten article side-by-side. Go ahead and churn out lots of rewritten articles. However, I don't recommend deleting the original article just because you've written a rewritten one.

This is because if the blogger's abilities were at their peak when they wrote that past article, rewriting it after that peak could result in a less polished article. However, everything is impermanent, and if the author has honed their skills since writing that past article and has surpassed their peak, then it's more likely that readers will reread the original article after reading the rewritten one.

The only thing I can say is that rewriting an article doesn't necessarily mean it will be better than the previous one. I think it will be positioned somewhere between a general blog and a specialized blog. In other words, I intend to post personal life lessons and research findings, but the articles will never become outdated after being uploaded.

I want to make one point clear here: I intend to make efforts to increase traffic to past articles. This is because one-time visits don't increase total traffic. Let's both continue to improve our skills.

That's all. Thank you for your continued support. This is Watanabe Ten.

page 10. Human connections are the greatest treasure!? Because we live our daily lives, not on a desert island, there are things we can't see.

 It's been a while. This is Beta from the Inishie R plusA blog. Today's theme is "Human connections are treasures. Networking is worth more than money."

Please understand that the request for this article is to let the time and space flow freely. Now, there are few things that can be called coincidences as much as human connections, aren't there?

Human encounters are a product of chance, and many people have had the almost superstitious experience of suddenly realizing they've built a network of acquaintances. Especially after striking it rich, relatives will flock to you, undoubtedly expanding your network. However, these acquaintances are often so elusive that you don't even think about them normally.

However, I believe there are many kind-hearted people who, when faced with a crisis, receive a helping hand from connections they hadn't even considered. So, parents are eager to get to the conclusion, wondering what the point is.

I believe that connections are a treasure more valuable than money. In other words, all activities in human society are based on relationships between people, and without human relationships, nothing can be meaningful.

The story of Robinson Crusoe often comes up when discussing this topic. I'm curious about what happened to Robinson Crusoe in the end, so I'll look into it.

Clatter, clatter, clatter. Ding. I looked up the story of Robinson Crusoe in a simple soy sauce flavor, but it seems the original is a rather hardcore tonkotsu (pork bone broth) flavor. It doesn't seem to be a completely uninhabited island, and the original story seems to be more like a B-grade horror movie.

Here, we'll proceed with the children's version of Robinson Crusoe. I believe the story is about Robinson Crusoe living on a completely deserted island for a long time and finally being rescued by a ship that happens to be passing by.

Robinson Crusoe likely made his own tools, gathered food, and secured shelter. Even though Robinson Crusoe's story takes place on a deserted island, the possibility of survival meant he could still maintain hope for his own life.

In fact, if I were in Robinson Crusoe's shoes, I think I would try to sulk and sleep as much as possible, use my laptop in bed, and always end up falling asleep.

In other words, I don't possess the vitality of someone like Robinson Crusoe, and even in this everyday society, the need for recognition from others holds significant weight for me.

When we talk about the need for recognition, it's basically about getting "likes" on social media, but many people find meaning in life by being acknowledged and praised by others. Ouch!!

I messed up. Sorry for the sudden announcement. I was asked to write this article in a light, flowing style. I almost started writing it seriously. That was a close call.

Even if I were Robinson Crusoe and had to live alone on a desert island, I'd most likely decide to go with the flow and live life to the fullest. In typical desert island life, you start off with energy, but gradually you become sloppy, and something ominous like a crash can happen.

As I write this story, I think of Mr. So-and-so, who continued to fight alone throughout World War II. If he had just had the opportunity to communicate with those around him, even just a single word, he would have known that the world war had ended long ago and that Japan had become a defeated nation.

Perhaps, even in this everyday society we live in, there are some people who live without communicating with anyone, just like they would on a desert island.

If you're a pensioner, your money will be deposited into your account every month, and when you go shopping, all you need to do is ask at the checkout if you need a bag; there's no need for any communication.

Of course, if an infectious disease like COVID-19 were to spread, you would immediately notice something was wrong without having to wait long. However, if you live without a computer, smartphone, or television, you won't be able to access any information.

Hmm. This is starting to sound a bit occult and dark. Let's get out of this tunnel. Ugh. Here we go. Even if Robinson Crusoe lived in modern times, he would probably be living a similar life to him.

If I could take just one thing to a deserted island, I would request a survival book without hesitation. Not a survival knife, but a survival book.

If you were to bring a god along as a friend, the deserted island might even transform into an incredibly advanced, technologically savvy nation. After all, a god can grant any wish.

Up until the modern-day Robinson Crusoe story, it seemed like it was going to turn into a serious tale, but I'm a little overconfident in my own abilities that I was able to take it in a Copernican-like shift and turn it into a mythical story about befriending the gods.

If I were to give a modern-day Robinson Crusoe the same advice, I would say, "Stay on the channel." But, in reality, this isn't funny, which is the cool side of this blog.

Well, that's 2000 characters. This blog has been getting a bit too long lately, so I'm going to diet. Let's diet! That's all. I'll finish with a light soy sauce flavor. A perfect way to end the day. Let's dance. See you later.

Book 34. Which assets are more desirable to hold? Inventory < Deposits < Goods < Cash. Updated 2026.05.09

 Hello. This is Beta. Today's topic is currency. Speaking of currency, cash is the most liquid asset among all forms of money. Deposits are also highly liquid in terms of how easy they are to convert into cash and how easy they are to use for payments, but they are not as liquid as cash.

The functions of money include a measure of value that serves as a benchmark for money, a store of value such as deposits in banks, and a medium of exchange that mediates the exchange of goods. In this regard, I believe that money's function as a medium of exchange is the most important.

This is because, if one does not place importance on money as a store of value, meaning accumulating deposits, then money as a medium of exchange becomes a very important element. Deposits are currency, they are money. However, if one finds value in goods as commodities rather than accumulating currency as deposits, then money as a medium of exchange becomes important.

One value system is one in which people find more value in owning goods than in owning money. They prefer to own diamonds, gold, silver, cars, and houses rather than keeping savings. During wartime, however, a reversal occurs where goods are more valuable than cash.

And the following equation holds true. We assume that the equation "deposits < goods" is true. Is this assumption correct? The relationship between cash and deposits is similar to the relationship between goods and inventory. Based on that, deposits < cash and inventory < goods indicate high liquidity.

If our previous assumption is correct, the liquidity equation would be: Inventory < Deposits < Goods < Cash. Goods are already sold, deposits are held in banks, and inventory is unsold goods, so the liquidity equation above seems reasonable.

While the relationship of liquidity is generally deposits < commodities < cash, in wartime or other circumstances, commodities can be more valuable than cash, reversing this trend. It is the asset value of commodities as physical goods that allows them to rival cash in value.

"Did they hold onto assets that were highly liquid?"

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.

Book 33. To live each day to the fullest, as if praying to God, and to fulfill the mission given to me in this life and this lifetime. (Updated 2026.05.09)

Hello. This is β (Beta). Today's theme is "Living as if praying to God." Praying to God. Hmm. In universal heroic tales, even in content like manga, there are often scenes where characters pray before battle. The act of praying to God before combat helps them compose themselves, perform their routines, boost morale, and defeat one formidable enemy after another—this is a highlight of such heroic tales and manga.

When we pray to God, we pray to various deities specializing in different areas, such as those for passing exams, safe childbirth, or traffic safety, and we visit these shrines to offer our prayers. For me personally, I pray to God during times of crisis or when I achieve success, so I understand that I pray to God in special circumstances that are different from the usual.

What does it mean to live as if praying to God? It's an eternal question.

Now, Max Weber has a classic work called "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," which has been translated into Japanese and published by Iwanami Bunko. This book deals with the same kind of awareness as living in prayer to God.

These Protestants have dedicated their lives to working tirelessly in order to glorify God. The fruits of their work are seen as service to God, and this is why Protestants have produced so many of America's leading billionaires. In this way, the social act of working itself has improved society and helped many people. In other words, work has been about serving the people of society.

I think that if you work 8 hours a day, 250 days a year, that amounts to 2000 hours of work per year. It's funny how things work; not just in this job, but for families with children, there's a natural upper limit to how much you can work. In other words, anything beyond 2000 hours of full-time work is spent on family and leisure.

I believe that if you want to achieve great success, you should work 1.5 times the 2000 hours of full-time work, which is 3000 hours. This is because the sheer volume of work increases compared to 2000 hours of full-time work, and through a synergistic effect, a person's skills and knowledge related to their work improve exponentially, leading to a significant increase in productivity.

The saying "strike while the iron is hot" means that working hard when you're young will pay off later on. For example, let's say you work three jobs and work 4000 hours a year, which is double the 2000 hours of full-time work. The calculation is that 8 hours x 250 days = 2000 hours, so you just need to work 16 hours a day, or 16 hours x 250 days = 4000 hours.

In that case, the biggest enemy is depression. Because having a poor mental state and damaging your physical health is the biggest waste of time. I myself currently want to work 12 hours a day, 365 days a year, for over 4000 hours.

Ultimately, in this world, quantity over quality is more important. If you do a lot of work, the quality will improve, and if you maintain the quantity even as the quality improves, the quality and productivity of your work will continue to rise. Instead of viewing work as just work, if you approach it with a playful or hobby-like attitude, you can enjoy work like a game.

Given the prevailing academic norms that view work as a source of suffering, it's difficult to handle demanding tasks like working 12 hours a day. As long as you perceive work as painful, you'll eventually fail and have to quit.

Now, returning to the main topic, what does it mean to live as if praying to God? In the world 100 or 200 years ago, when Protestantism was on the rise, there was nothing like the RPGs (role-playing games) on video games. I think that back then, some kind of motivation was necessary to be enthusiastic about one's work.

While some working adults today may enjoy their jobs as if they were games, it's likely that very few people viewed work in that way 100 or 200 years ago. Therefore, I believe that people achieved a certain level of social success by praying to God and working with the intention of serving Him.

To live as if praying to God. In other words, by working diligently every day, being grateful for the fruits of that work, and expressing gratitude to my family every day, I may have been able to live a life that was like praying to something vague like God.

I want to live each day to the fullest, as if praying to God, and live each day with gratitude, fulfilling the role, my mission, that has been given to me in this life, knowing that I don't know when my life will end. What do you, the readers, think?

That's all. Thank you for your continued support. This was β.

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.

Book 32. Ways to make money from a blog include advertising revenue, tips (donations), merchandise sales (e-books), and selling the blog itself to companies, etc.

Hello. This is β (Beta). Today's topic is about ebooks. Ebooks are digital textbooks, and I'm thinking of selling these ebooks for 100 yen each.

Because it's digital, there are no stamp duty costs, and you can sell it in large quantities without incurring additional costs. The reason why ebooks are good is that there's no need to print and distribute them on paper, saving you money. Of course, there are no shipping costs either. And no labor costs either.

I think this is a huge advantage. Because books that would cost 1,000 or 2,000 yen as physical books can be sold at a cheap price of essentially 100 yen as ebooks. Of course, you have to pay a commission to the platform that sells the ebooks, but even that commission is only 20% or 30%, so you can still sell them at an affordable price.

The reason I'm selling an ebook for 100 yen is because I'm free to set the price, and that's the price I want to sell it for. I also plan to use the internet to gather a lot of information about ebooks in the future, so I'd like to post about that on my blog as well.

I've been running this blog for about two years now. This blog is primarily a research blog. As part of that, I'd like to share useful information such as life lessons and know-how.

The only thing I can say is that I would like to include ebooks as part of my revenue, but once I make a certain amount of profit, I would like to donate the rest to charity. Ebooks are one of the things I would like to try, but since I have always read physical books, I would like to buy a device like Amazon's Kindle that allows me to read ebooks in the future.

Regarding ebooks, I'd like to share various things, from activity reports to know-how. In reality, I think earning the first revenue is the most difficult part. I started blogging seriously in 2017, so I've enjoyed it quite a bit over the past nine years, up to the present day in 2026.

During those nine years, there was a five-year gap where I took a break from writing blog posts. Ultimately, I think there are several ways to make money from blogging, such as advertising revenue, donations, merchandise sales (e-books), and selling the blog itself to companies.

I plan to monetize my blog using Amazon affiliate programs. I will be selling ebooks based on this blog. Ultimately, after 10 years of blogging, I've realized that it's difficult to achieve significant revenue without continuing a blog for about 10 years. I suppose skilled bloggers can start earning money from their first year.

Although it's been a grueling nine years, I've gained invaluable experience. There's a Chinese proverb that says, "If you learn to fish, you'll be happy for life." I intend to continue writing, like this blog, for the next five, ten years, and beyond, as long as my life continues.

That's all. Thank you for listening. This is β. See you again.
