A conclusion

I want a new note PC.
Because I want to write something in any place.

I want to assemble a PC.
Because I want to understand how it works.

So, I want to assemble a note PC.
Maybe it costs high.
But it's useful, I think.

The early bird catches the worm.

Even in Japanese learning, it is important to consult a dictionary.
I sometimes do so.
My favorite one is a proverb dictionary.
On a bed, it gives me a joy.
For example, "The early bird catches the worm."

I bought something.

I bought a book and a pocket diary.
The book is how to write. The pocket diary is for business persons.

Keep customer satisfied.

I bought some book on the Internet. I won't have any credit card. So it costed quite high.
The system of some online bookstore is good for seller, but it is not good for a customer.
If they solve it, the store can increase the customer.

A little problem

I went to some online bookstore. Then I want to buy the second-hand book. But it costs a little high or is not convenient.

A tribial point of the Maruyama's paper

I've just finished reading the Maruyama's paper.
He tells about Japanese libertin in the Tokugawa era, like Kaiho Seiryo or Hiraga Genai. He says that they satirized square authoritical scholars but were not dangerous for political power. Parhaps Maruyama sees something same with ex-leaders of the late 1960s "student power".

That is necessary on business.

Thank to secondary education

I've been reading the Maruyama's paper.
He quotes many classics. Some are written in old Japanese, and some are written in old Chinese.
I can read them word by word. Because I was taught how to read them in a high school and a junior high.
I thank to secondary education in this point.

A problem

I've been reading the paper.
Then I think this: Japanese traditional frame of thought is storong, so we cannot make light of it.
What makes change it?

"to become itselves"

I've been reading the paper "Old Layers of Historical Consciousness."
The author Maruyama analyses Japanese historical classics: "Nihon Syoki", "Koji-ki", "Manyo-shu", "O-kagami", "Gukan-syo", and so on.
Especially, In Japanese mythes, it is important to "become itselves." Not to "make" something.
But I wonder if "Japanese thoughts" is so particular.

Japanese-like something?

I'm reading Maruyama Masao's famous paper, "An Old Layer of Historical Consciousness."
It suggests this: a form of Japanese thought covers every events and ideas, and changes Japanese-like something.
Of course, I don't know such interpretation is right or not till the end of the paper.

"Jane Ayre" is too common?

I've read the novel "Jane Eyre," written by Charlotte Brontes, retold by Ann Ward for English learners.
Surely, the plot is interesting. So I've never bored.
But it is too common. Just like soup operas. Bad caractors is only bad. They seem not to have the inside.

(Maybe the original novel is not so.)

Meaning of the Far-east International Military Court

I've just finished watching a TV program about the Far-east International Military Court.
This court is not perfect. Because the pre-war Japanese politicians and soldiers didn't consist a conspiracy.
But it set the two concept: crime against peace and crime against humanity.
At this point it was a big step for world history.

Human being is on the surface of the globe.
What is our future?
My life is not so long. But/so I'll do my best.

A game book "Survive!"

I've just read a game book, "Survive!", written by Helen Brooke. The story is about survival.
A plane comes across the accident and land on a snow mountain.
It's so well-made story.

About the brand

I like Starbucks.
Because it has good images.

When I went to a convenience store, I found a pack of Starbucks Latte.
So I bought it.
After that, I looked the packages.
Then I found that a milk maker "Takanashi Milk co. ltd." made it.

There's the Starbucks label, goods are sold at higher value.

Of course the coffee tasted good. Bitter and sweet.

A good book about teach something

I've read a book about how to teach.
It is written by Yasukouchi Tetsuya, a famouse English teacher in Japan.

He told that a good teacher is a giver of something.
The something is, for example, essential knowledges, how to study, a motivation that learner study in themselves, and so on.

Needless to say, the book contains how to teach, how to be a good teacher, how to give impress ions learners important things, how to encourage them, how to pull their questions, etc.

A book tastes bitter.

I've read a book about Japanese pre-war ultra-nationalists.
It tastes bitter.

Because a certain kind of fanatic man, Minoda Muneki, had something.

Of course, I'm democrat. On the other hand, he was against democracy. He and I are not the same at this point.

His ethnocentrism and anti-academism are very easy to understand. I don't agree with them. But we can see such discourses in a certain kind of major magazines in Japan.

A hot wet summer night

The air is hot and wet. Japanese summer night in most regions is like this.
I'll come home soon.

There's a need here.

I'm reading this PDF file:
http://www.archive.org/details/republicantradit025148mbp
There're some unreadable pages.

In Japan, some libraries doesn't lend rare books to an ordinary man. So I wasn't able to borrow the book.

Maybe time solves such problem. But it's a matter of intellectual infrastructure.
Civil servants must improve it soon.

Even that Kaynes

I've progressed reading of the "Macro Economics."
Chapter two is about a decision of GDP.
In this chapter, the auther Yoshikawa Hiroshi explains about the micro economics. His explanation is very interesting. It's so plain. Just like a junior high school textbook.

Keynes is the great economist. But he couldn't make his theory from nothing. It's based on the theories or ideas of the past people.
It encourages me.
