Depending on the country, there may be different habits though, in Japan, it's believed that saving face is required to have good social life depending on the situation.   Especially in the places which are related to business or work which belong with the customer service industries, social face is everywhere.   In the private life, I sometimes heard from people saying they are having problems from showing social face.  Example 1.  According to the person "A" , she (A) was just being nice to her friend and her friend's husband and complimented her husband's looks a lot and etc.., as social face, but her friend took it as serious and thought she is interested in and crazy about her husband.  Now the person is very frustrated because her friend didn't u

Last night I was reading recent news which was about a well-known Japanese  cartoon writer and his roller-coaster life . The cartoon writer, who we will call 　 "Y" , 　got huge success with his cartoon in the 1970s when he was 20 years old and his cartoon series was shown on TV every week. Y got married when he was 23 years old, after he became successful , and had two children and bought a house and also a condo for his office in Tokyo, Japan. He was earning about 40 to 50 million yen /year from the series of the cartoon for about 6 years. He also started to make other cartoon series, but for some reason, Y started feeling pressure to draw and write and get ideas for cartoons and he was unable to get another hit from his other cartoons, after his only cartoon which got big hit series had completed. From the stress, he started escaping from his work of cartoon drawing /writing,　and he got addiction for gambling and went to night clubs every night. and he s

I recently changed my email account to comcast. and while doing the set up for my email account in my windows livemail in windows 7 , by following the comcast instruction , I noticed that it doesn't work. I tried to find more information about the instruction online  and had tried it as well, however nothing had worked using all the port numbers which   were listed in the instructions. So I just tested several combinations of numbers for "Server port numbers" by myself . and discovered the correct port numbers for it. It took a while to discover it, so I thought I better share this information to people who are using windows 7 operating system, and comcast email account and want to set up for the windows livemail.      Here is the step by step instruction for  How to set up your Comcast email into your windows livemail ( windows 7 ) 1. Click " Account " tab in the top of the menu in the windows live mail 2.  Click " Email " tab

Today, I would like to talk about the shocking truth of the psychological reason why some people don't make you feel good and why you don't like those people. Self-improvement is often one of my favorite topics to read since when I was around 20, when I was feeling I want to improve my life. When I was about 20 years old, there was no internet and no personal computer, so I learned it from books which were written by people who achieved their dream life.  The kind of books I read were mainly written by my favorite musician and a supermodel I loved, and these books were more like biography books, rather than self improvement guru's books . Because they were showing the example as a role model through their life and achieving their dreams, rather than teaching about self improvement topics. Then later, I started reading books by Neal Donald Walsh,  Robert Anthony, Anthony Robbins, Joe Vitale,  Brian Tracy, Napoleon Hill, Wallace D Wattles, Rhonda Byrne, Dee

To live and survive in the system that has been set up on planet earth, everyone was brainwashed  while growing up, partly by their parents ( who were brainwashed by their parents, grandparents and so on ) , partly by their environment, by TV, culture, and so on. However, it's not too late or impossible to improve our right brain's creativity. Here are 11 ways to improve your right brain's creativity. 1.  Drawing up side down While drawing a picture or image normally, our left brain which thinks mainly in linear terms is always coming and expects to see things oriented in the customary way.     In an upright orientation, we recognize familiar things, name them, and categorize them by m
