    @sriontimaitra6804 7 років тому +368

    Whenever I watch a Japanese farmer, or a chef, or a shokunin creating kimono, or someone tending to a garden, it always seems like there is this all-encompassing focus on the trade and the work at hand. Whether it be a sushi chef or a janitor, every Japanese person whose work I've encountered seems to channel all their concentration and love toward making that work, that one job perfect, no matter how inconsequential others may say it is, or how it affects the time they have to do other things. Can any Japanese citizens in the comments tell me if this is in the national character? I've heard about the single mindedness and perfectionism that's lauded in Japan, but I'd like to hear the truth of it from the horse's mouth :D

    • @AxiomApe
      @AxiomApe 7 років тому +56

      Srionti Maitra All I can say is that I've noticed it too. The Japanese way seems to be to put all your focus and effort into your craft. To do the task until it is complete in every sense. I envy this and strive to be this way.

      @hakkei12345 7 років тому +58

      Hello, this is a random Japanese girl here. I know nothing about national character, but we've been taught like concentration is really really important. And that goes in general, not only our work. Like when someone is talking to me, when I eat my breakfast, drink a cup of tea, doing absolutely nothing but breathing. (Sometimes people call it meditation, but in my case, is just me concentrating to be as lazy as possible. I need it sometimes!) Please don't judge me if I won't talk much at dinner table, there's some intense multi-concentration going on and I could hardly handle it! XD

    • @sriontimaitra6804
      @sriontimaitra6804 7 років тому +7

      That's a wonderful way of putting it, thank you :) When I'm not talking at the dinner table, it's usually because I'm 'concentrating' on shoveling food down my throat :P But that makes a lot of sense, that concentration on your current work is stressed over the perceived importance of that work - so eating breakfast, and cleaning the house, and breathing, as you said, don't lose or take precedence compared to other things. It's a very intense way to live life to an outsider, I suppose, but deeply admirable. ^_^

    I grow white strawberries in my garden. They taste great. The benefit is that birds leave them alone. I gave my parents white strawberry plants one year. A few years later I was visiting at the time they should be ripening and asked how the strawberries were. They said, "It's the weirdest thing but they never get ripe!" They didn't know they were supposed to be white. So we looked and sure enough, a whole bunch of delicious ripe white strawberries were ready to eat.

    I'd rather grow strawberries that have a normal yeild. 10% yield out of a harvest is disgustingly wasteful. This strain clearly needs some fine tuning.

    $40 per pack, which only has 1 white strawberry!?

      Floating Sunfish has nothing to do with monopolies. Saffron is expensive because it’s a pain in the butt to produce and harvest and process... same thing here
