Hey, I'm just thinking of a pointless thing, but you know how much people living in a professional world do practice for that in one day.
I could give you an example with this wisdom. ''If you want to be successful, work for what you do for 14hours in a day".
That means you could accomplish something more special than other do if you keep working for it 14 hours per day.
But I don't agree with it at all. Actually, there are pros and cons of it. Especially in the football world, a successful story doesn't alway come to you, even if you have three training sessions everyday. On the other hand, some lucky players are unknowingly running on the right track with external reasons which are a luck, destiny and talent. It's uncontrollable.
Anyway, Does anyone know about a training manu of a professional football team?? Any level of pro-team is ok. I'd like to know how intense training they have especially in a pre-season camp. I guess it must be so hard, but I want to follow it for myself. Hit me up if you knoｗ something!!
This is a tremendous story that literally moved me. I've already watched over and over again. Unfortunately, this has only English subtitle so that you can't watch with Japanese subtitle for some of you guys reading it. So I leave the outline of this story here.
One day, she crashed into a speeding utility truck, and everything went black. In the next breath, she was airlifted from the scene of the accident by a rescue helicopter to a large spinal unit in Sydney. she'd broken my neck and my back in six places. In addition, broke five ribs on her left side, her right arm, collarbone. some bones in her feet. Her whole right side was ripped open filled with gravel. Her head was cut open across the front, lifted back exposing the skull underneath. She had massive blood loss about five liters.
For over 10 days, she driftef between two dimensions, and she kept asking herself that you really want to be alive with a body that was so broken or... After 10 days, she decided to go back to the broken body, and the internal bleeding stopped. She also decided to be going forward. But it was really demanding task, maybe it was a lot harder than she had thought then. Fortunately, her operation was a success, but felt that she was paralyzed from the waist down. the next concern she had was whether she would walk again.. because her back was completely crushed. The vertebra at L1 was like you'd dropped a peanut, stepped on it, smashed it into thousands of piece. They picked as much broken bone as they could that had lodged in my spinal cord. They took out two of my broken ribs, and they rebuilt her back,L1, they rebuilt it, they took out another broken rib,
At last, her body did never be restored to its former state that she can never run as much as she did before. I imagined many times that if I were her, what would I do.. how could I think of my future to the end of my life. it'd fill me with full of fear and concerns that might never be able to get rid of.. but she was different!! She got another dream which was the most creative project ever!! Actually she realized that this wasn't just her life. It was life itself. She realized that this wasn't just her pain. It was everybody's pain. And then She knew, just like before, that She had a choice. She could keep fighting thisor She could let go and accept not only my body but the circumstances of my life. And then She stopped asking, "Why me?"And She started to ask, "Why not me?"And then She thought to myself, maybe being at rock bottom is actually the perfect place to start.
Sitting at home in her wheelchair and her plaster body cast, an airplane flew overhead, and I looked up,and I thought to myself, "That's it!If I can't walk, then I might as well fly." "Pass me the yellow pages." She passed me the phone book, I rang up the flying school, I made a booking, said I'd like to make a booking to come out for a flight. Didn't know how on Earth she'd ever pass a medical. But she'd worry about that later, because right now I had a dream. Just gave it a go. And she practiced my walking as much as she could.
So while the doctors continued to operate and put my body back together again, she went on with my theory study, and then eventually, and amazingly, she passed my pilot's medical, and that was my green light to fly. And she spent every moment she could out at that flying school, way out of my comfort zone, all these young guys that wanted to be Qantas pilots, " you know, and little old hop-along me in first my plaster cast, and then my steel brace, my baggy overalls, my bag of medication and catheters and my limp, and they used to look at me and think, "Oh, who is she kidding? She's never going to be able to do this." And sometimes I thought that too. But that didn't matter, because now there was something inside that burned that far outweighed my injuries."
And little goals kept her going along the way, and eventually she got my private pilot's license, and then she learned to navigate, and she flew my friends around Australia. And then she learned to fly an airplane with two engines and she got my twin engine rating. And then she learned to fly in bad weather as well as fine weather and got my instrument rating. And then she got my commercial pilot's license. And then she got my instructor rating. And then she found myself back at that same school where she'd gone for that very first flight, teaching other people how to fly, just under 18 months after she'd left the spinal ward.
And then she thought, "Why stop there? Why not learn to fly upside down?" And she did, and she learned to fly upside down and became an aerobatics flying instructor.
The philosopher Lao Tzu once said, "When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be." She now know that it wasn't until she let go of who she thought she was that she was able to create a completely new life. It wasn't until she let go of the life she thought she should have that she was able to embrace the life that was waiting for me. She now know that my real strength never came from my body, and although my physical capabilities have changed dramatically, who she am is unchanged. The pilot light inside of me was still a light, just as it is in each and every one of us.
''I know that I'm not my body, and I also know that you're not yours. And then it no longer matters what you look like, where you come from, or what you do for a living. All that matters is that we continue to fan the flame of humanity by living our lives as the ultimate creative expression of who we really are.''
What comes to my mind after watching this story is that women are strong. I can't say how wonderful she is!!
''IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DRIBBLING PAST 5 PLAYERS AND SCORING FROM 40 YEARS AT ANFIELD OR SHAGGNIG MISS WORLD. IT'D BE A HARD CHOICE. THANKFULLY, I'VE DONE BOTH!!''

hahahahaha I love that words.
「もし、アンフィールド（リバプールの本拠地）で５人抜きして４０ヤード（約３５M）からゴールををぶち込むのと、ミスワールドの女とヤるのと、どちらかを選ばないといけないとしたらかなり悩むだろう。・・・でもな。おれは両方やったんだよ。」 by ジョージベスト（マンUのレジェンド）
you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
As you know, IPHONE which is one of the finest creation in the world history created by the late Steve jobs. He has made a speech once at the graduation ceremony of Stanford Uni before he died. When I watched it on youtube first time, it gave me goose bumps and encoraged me in many positive ways. And I also realized that thousants of the graduates listening his speech right there gradually went all quiet and pay full attention to ｈis words. In fact, I had an opportunity to make a speech in fromt of many undergrads backing to the Uni I graduated before. If I could take a chance to do it again someday, I wish I wanna make it much better like him after becoming a greater person.
Perseverance wins in the end. ; Perseverance brings success

I have a lot of stories I want to write on here, Vice Versa I have I don't want. Sooner or later, I will so. now just see how I go with a new challenge in which I 've been quietly.
If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original -- if you're not prepared to be wrong, And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong. And we run our companies like this..
Picasso once said this -- he said that all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe this passionately, that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out of it..
from Ken Robinson (educationalist)'s talk on TED -- schools kill creativity
" A profession has a perticular task that can make people happy and moved who watch their games. no exception about footballers. we have to work 10 times as hard as other people do for that."
" We should take it for granted that on every training day is much harder than on every match day. your performance in a game reflects what you have done at training. "
by Felix Magath, who has been coaching for Wolfsburg in Germany.
His words exemplify what all of professional footballers are like. If you neglect yourself, you can't achieve anything. you are just going backwards. Maybe when you realize it, it's too late to come back. should keep that in my mind.
I have landed the destination this time where I start the new challenge. But I've got some problems over here as soon as I landed as I didn't do research beforehand at all... yea, I know it's my fault, but I thought I would be all fine... so naive...
Anyway, I will keep you inform of my progress if anything happens.
I've found a good phrase out of the book I've read through now. It says 'A successful story put a gloss on the outside of your color, but A failure story makes your mind greater afterwards. '
Don't be afraid of making a failure story in your life. Life is life. Just do whatever you can do and see what's happening, then make your original story.
I haven't updated on this category of my blog which is 'word' category recently.
I've found an impressive words on the lyrics of 'Pay attention' in the film of 'Sister's act 2'.
As a matter of course, Every English song has a story as well as Japanese ones. I guess most of Japanese people like English songs as well as Japanese ones too, and listen to it almost every day, but I don't think those people look at even the lyrics as they don't understand English. In other words, people don't try to understand the story of the songs.
well, maybe you now came up a guestion why and how Japanese likes English songs despite they don't even see the lyrics. you know why?? because they listen with just its tempo and stream.
Anyway,
"If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention"
These are great words I picked out of the song of Pay attention which is my favorite. Great words, isn't it??
"If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention"
Do you have a personal motto over a lifetime? Have you lived by something good words which are your favourite??
I found it yesterday when I was searching something else on internet. The saying is 臥薪嘗胆 in Japanese that means like struggling against difficulties for the sake of vengeance.
In fact, everything is not going well and smoothly with me, especially after went out of Japan when I was 22. But I've known that life is like that. No one can success something without difficulties. That's the reason life is interesting, right??
In my early 20's, I couldn't feel like life was fun. Of course I know the reason that need to change for late 20's and rest of my whole life to be happy.
I have to learn a lot of things from the experience of past 5
years and build somthing new on it.
I found an impressive word today.
Now if I find a good word or phrase at somewhere, I'll introduce and put it on my blog.
I think English has a deeper meaning in a word,phrase or proverb than its japanese.
I just feel so. Maybe I don't understand completely about real meaning in the phrases or proverbs as I'm not native of English.
Suddenly, can I introduce my important friends??
I have two friends who talk well to each other on this blog. they frequently appeared on this blog as a severe commentator. I'm just kidding.. they haven't never behaved like useless commentators on the TV.
We got to know each other when we were kindgarden or elementary school, anyway long time ago.
So we know all about each other and I can be so relaxed while blabbing to them.
And I wanna introduce my two more friends. the friend is playing American football in Fujitsu - the bigger company in electric equipment japanese maker has been known to all the world.
He gets sweat too much to be the best player in Japan.
The other friend is really good at dancing and acting. I met him at uni for the first time and he left as soon as graduated. He's in Tokyo at he moment to be professional dancer and also actor.
They also has been fighting in the exclusive and stoic environment.
We can enhance ourself with being aware of each other. They are the best partner for me.
