MOTTOS
I have two mottos. The first is “Everything is on the way. ” A life continues till death comes. There is no death in my life because death is not a life. My life always goes on as long as it exists. So everything is on the way in my life. The second motto of mine is “Go ahead! ” I am often afraid that I will die someday. And I am often irritated when I can’t decide which way I should choose in some situation. So I say to myself anyway “Go ahead.” That is to say, I should do better things even if I can’t decide what is the best thing. (Sunday, January 23, 2011)
SMELT
My son goes fishing at the Yamanaka-Lake today. He wants to get many fishes. Their name is smelt, that is, wakasagi in Japanese. They usually live under the ice of the lake in winter. But now there is no ice there as it is warm these days. He gets them by fishing on a boat. (Sunday, January 23, 2011)
KEYS
I was afraid that I lost my important keys. I used them yesterday, but I couldn’t find them this morning. I searched them, but in vain. All day long I was irritated. In the evening, though I was discouraged, I decided to search them once again. After all I found them in my car. I was relieved. (Monday, January 24, 2011)
DARK FEELING
I was discouraged in the early morning. My feeling was extremely gloomy. I felt that I couldn’t trust anybody. Everyone seemed to have malice toward me. I sometimes fall in such a bad feeling. (Tuesday, January 25, 2011)
TAXES
I am afraid the authorities will take much money from me as taxes. Next month I have to report to them the amount of my income gained in 2010. They will calculate the amount of my taxes from my income. (Wednesday, January 26, 2011)
RELIEVED
An important document was lost at my workplace yesterday. All my coworkers searched it all around, but in vain. Most of us gave up and went home. After about one hour, it was found out. This fact was informed to us this morning. We were relieved. (Thursday, January 27, 2011)
MY OLD FRIEND
I met and talked with my old friend today. We made friends when we were high school students. It was more than forty years ago. He looked to have the same character as he was in his teens. The long time that has passed doesn’t make him a different person. (Friday, January 28, 2011)
NIHILISM
I saw a movie today. It showed nihilism of a young woman. The story was impressive. I was severely shocked. (Saturday, January 29, 2011)

モットー
私には二つのモットーがある。第1のモットーは「すべては途上にある」である。生は死が到来するまで続く。私の生の中に死は存在しない。なぜなら死は生でないから。私の生は、存続し続ける限り、進み続ける。だから私の生においては、すべてが途上にある。私の第２のモットーは「前進せよ!」である。私は自分がいつか死ぬことをしばしば恐れる。また私はある状況でどちらの道を選ぶべきか決定できないで、しばしばイライラする。かくて私は自分自身にとにかく言う、「前進せよ！」と。すなわち、私はたとえ何がベストなことか決定できなくても、ベターなことをするべきである。
