I find myself talking to you in my mind as I watch the video. I think I would really enjoy sitting in the evening, listening to the frogs, and talking together. It would be interesting to talk about what contributes to a successful career. Part of the research I do is in comparative societies. Thank you for another thought-provoking but restful video.
Hi, Leah. Thank you so much for your comment♡ When you come to my frog singing concert, please bring your favorite drink. I will prepare Japanese Sake for you☺️ Wow, comparative societies...sounds really interesting. Do you research as your job?
"You cant enjoy your work because you feel someone is forcing you to do your work" "You will like your job if you can be self disciplined and have independence of mind" These sentence have reached me at the perfect time. Thank you for sharing these quotes. Today they really helped me see things from a new perspective. Can you recommend to me one of his books?
Hello! Thank you for your comment♡ His name is Hitori Saito, and he is a successful business and pays high taxes in Japan. Unfortunately, he hasn't published books in English. You can also listen to his stories on UA-cam, but there are only Japanese version😢. I'll share his quotes in my future videos more!
Hola Tomomo !!, as always, thanks for your video, I loved seeing the kittens, especially the one that wanted to steal part of your son's breakfast...😃And also seeing the swallows, I love it. It drew my attention that in Japan you also have Fanta (it is a drink of German origin whose name derives from the term fantasy) here it is a popular soft drink. I'm glad you had a good time with your family, you have to treasure those special moments. On the subject of your students' future jobs, it is important to choose a university degree, in Spain it is very booming to study careers related to computing, robotics, artificial intelligence, data analysis... although I think that if a lot people study these careers, perhaps soon there will be more demand than supply. I think you have to look for a career that you like and with job opportunities, but times change and you no longer know how to get it right, there are very vocational careers like everything related to healthcare and teaching, but here in Spain studying medicine is complicated, in the public universities that have prestige there are few free places and many people are left out, in the private ones it is very expensive and only the richest can access to it, sometimes it happens that many persons study medicine or nursing because of the social prestige that it entails but they do not have vocation and that is noticeable when they carry out their work, the same goes for teachers in the public sphere, they have a job guaranteed for life if they pass the opposition and of course, that is very attractive, so by studying hard they get a good salary and many vacations, but as many of them do not like it, at the end of the day teaching is harmed. Courage to all your students, who are excited to learn knowledge and even if you don't work on what you have studied, whatever you do, put a lot of effort into it and give your best. In my case, I studied a career that I didn't like, I didn't want to change it for another, I finished it and I never worked on it, I ended up working on something else, which allowed me to learn Italian and travel to that country for business, the crisis took away that job, but it enriched me, even though I hadn't studied for it. Now I change my job profile, and I work in a small position but I'm happy and I do the work that I like, no matter how little. I send you a big hug, for you, your family, the kittens and the swallows... and from afar the frogs... Sorry for write a lot!!🙏 From Spain, always with love, Silvia.😘
Hola Silvia! Thank you for writing me again, as always, I enjoyed reading it♡ I didn’t know Fanta is from German! I thought it is Japanese drink...lol. Many things that I don't know and thanks for teaching me. And I'm grateful to know about your job. I think it is quite same thing is happening in Japan too. Japanese society has convinced us that going to university will give us a high-paying jobs. It's still true that we are difficult to get a job at major enterprise without a university degree. But that doesn't mean that we can always get high income anymore. In addition, it seems that more and more young people are choosing jobs that they want rather high incomes, or choosing jobs that allow them to live the life they want. Many high school students in Japan don't know what they like and what they want to do in the future yet and they choose to go to university. Japanese universities cost about 3 to 5 million yen (20000 euro - 35000euro) to graduate, so they (about one-third of college students) borrow money for university. And it is a problem that they can't get high income jobs and they are no longer able to return that money. So, thank you again Silvia! We are having lovely Sunday now. I hope you're having one too! Talk to you soon! Love♡tomomo
Middle class American parents spend years correcting their children's grammar. Do Japanese parents do that too? It is difficult to know when to use "good" and "well." The correct statement is "I hope my students did well" but many English speakers would use "good" if they didn't have years of their parents correcting them. I still hear my mother's voice when I am trying to figure out which word to use. 😊 I am so grateful for your English subtitles as I do not speak Japanese at all.
@@leahj139 Hi, Leah. I think Japanese parents do correct their children's grammar. When kids get older, they don't usually make mistakes in grammar, but they often make mistakes in using words. Even as an adult, we sometimes misunderstand the meaning of words and use the wrong situations. My husband and I sometimes don't know which is correct, and ask Google the answer😂. Japanese parents and school teachers also pay attention to the beauty of their children's handwriting. In Japan, it is very disappointing thing if children do not write politely and beautifully! Thank you for being so kind to my terrible spelling mistakes♡
