You are not Strong, You are Senseless

Your daughter has just got divorced. You tell her that it is ok and she should not worry about it very much. You tell her to stop thinking about the divorce and start living her life. You have solved the problem. You have a fight with a close friend. Your family tell you to just ignore him and never talk with him again. You are better without him. The problem has been solved. You slipped from the stairs and broke your ankle. Your family hear about the incident and when they realize that it is your ankle, they do not pay much attention. It is just an ankle. Your friend is depressed. You tell him don’t be depressed. You have solved the problem. It is very dangerous to receive these kinds of reactions constantly. This will make you cold hearted in the future without even realizing it because you think that it is normal. You start thinking that these kind of reaction is normal among most people. You might never realize that it is not normal. You will start to consider yourself a st...

The Daily Brain Information Capacity

When it comes to achieving a learning goal, it is extremely important to make room in our brain for new information to enter and stick in our brain. We need to be conscious about how much information our brain process every day. Our brain is capable of processing certain amount of information effectively every day. When We exceed that limit, our efforts in learning more information will be pointless. This is why it is essential to minimize our exposure to distractions and especially social media. We start our day with empty and pure brain. When we use social media, part of our brain will be filled. When we play video games, the same will happened. Listening to the radio, music or a podcast will also do the same. Driving for a very long distance is also the same. In the end of the day we will completely full.  This is why it is important to be conscious of how much information we process every day even if we are not a students or we are learning something. Because when we proce...

The untold languages

     Usually when we speak about languages we mean languages such as English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, German, ...... Then this word started to reach another use which is programming languages. These are the most common usages for the word LANGUAGE.  However, today I want to talk about another definition of the word LANGUAGE. I believe that the word language can be applied for more areas in our lives such as Math language, Science language, Parenting language, Success language, Failure language, Love language, Hate language, ....... I believe that looking at these topic and studying them as languages is importing because many people think that just because they both speak the same language they should be able to understand each other.  For example, when teachers try to explain a physical concepts to students, it take a lot of time and efforts to deliver the physical concepts. Even though they both speak the same language. Well... this is obvious for most people...

Living in Japan does not mean that you are obligated to learn Japanese

I have heard of many people who are living in Japan for a few years and they cannot speak and read Japanese. I have been thinking about these people. Some of them are even have a Japanese spouse. First when I started thinking about it my opinion was that they are lazy and it does not make sense to live in Japan and not learning Japanese. However, I changed my mind. I think that living in Japan does not mean that you are obligated to learn Japanese. For some people learning Japanese is stressful and depressing. It will take a tremendous amount of time and efforts. If your job didn't demand Japanese from you and your wife speak English or your language fluently, you will not have the pressure to learn it. And there is no problem for not learning it.  Some people might consider learning Japanese does not worth the time and efforts. I respect these people. Thanks for reading

Did you actually reached the door ?

 Today I want to talk about the needed time to make a progress in your goal or skill. Sometimes I hear my classmate complain about his grades even though he study for one hour for math class every day. I actually have been though the same situation many times when I was in college. Also, many people complain that they are not making progress in the skill they want to master such as programming language, musical instrument, languages, ..... I have came to a realization that some skill required a specific amount of time in a daily basis ( or at least 5 days a week ). For example, if you are studying English for 10 minutes every day, you will probably not make any progress whatsoever. It is like planning to go to the English class in the 10th floor in the building by climbing the stairs to reach the class then take the elevator to go back down without going inside the English class.  I think that for all goals and skills that we want to master, we must spend a specific amount of ...
