Book Review "50 Small Actions to Change Your Life"

Reading is funny activity for me.  I could have not read for months, some times a year, if I did not read or I could not find any interesting books.  It may be just I, but I have a tendency to keep picking up books once I started to read.  After I returned previous book "Judo with words: An Intelligent Way to Counter Verbal Attacks" to San Mateo Library, I picked up another Japanese book talking about life's activities.

The title of the book is "50 Small Actions to Change Your Life".  The book is almost a list of 50 small actions which author recommend to take.  Each item has explanation of the author.  Many of them are small good action to take.  The most interesting was the reason why the author wrote this book.  According to the author, Akihiro Nakatani, more powerful thing which can change your life to the better direction is not your talent, or high education, or big sum of donation to your church.  He says the most powerful series of action to change your life is small daily base actions, accumulations, and continuation of them.

I list some of examples here:

-  Let's greet to someone you have never greet.  You should have 1 new person to greet in 1 day.
-  Don't take elevator.  Take steps.  You may meet someone you did not expect to meet.
-  Stop asking your friend if you are special individual.  Special person tends to believe he is ordinary person, never be extraordinary.

Like above, the book consisted of 50 interesting items.  I cannot list or explain all, but all of his listings were interesting and I finished reading in a day.  Also I cannot agree more to the author that if we continue to do good things, at least one at a day, every day.  It will change our life to the better way.

This book reminded me one story which I heard long time ago.  I hoped to share it here as follows:

One high school drop out could finally find his job in a bank branch in a city of Japan.  As a newcomer in the bank, his first morning work was to clean the entrance of the bank branch office.  One morning, he found that neighbor's house's front was also messy as well in the morning.  Since it did not take him much additional work, he started to clean their neighbor's house's front, too.  After a while, a old woman came out of the neighbor's home, asked him to come into her home.  As asked, he walked into the old woman's home, whereas he met the old woman's grand doubter, who is beautify, and the wold woman asked him to marry her grand doubter and hair her business.  This boy could hair very profitable business of Jewelry Trading and married beautiful wife.

Book Review "Judo with words: An Intelligent Way to Counter Verbal Attacks"-2

In last post, I introduced this mental training book "Judo with words: An Intelligent Way to Counter Verbal Attacks".  As I explained, this is a Japanese book which I found in the library in San Mateo, CA.  But, ladies and gentlemen, there is a good news.  I liked the book so much that I wanted to read it in English.  So, I searched in Amazon, and found the English version of it.

That is how I found the English name "Judo with words: An Intelligent Way to Counter Verbal Attacks".  The following is the link of the English version of the same book with the same author, Barbara Berkham.

http://www.amazon.com/Judo-Words-Intelligent-Counter-Attacks/dp/1853435325/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272057774&sr=8-2

The image of the book is as shown to your right below, so that you would not make a mistake, since the author has several books listed in Amazon.

It is very good idea to use "Martial Art" techniques since there are a lot of useful guard techniques in Martial Art.  As the author is writing, the purpose of Judo or Aikido is not defeating your enemy nor picking up a street fight.  They are the art to avoid unnecessary fight and defend yourself who try to pick up such a fight against you.

The one of episodes of this book reminded me the ultimate status of martial arts.  That is "winning without fighting" or "wining before fighting".  It is contradictory saying "how come you can win without fighting or before fighting?  It looks impossible.  But it is not.  To better explain, I introduce a historical episode of a Japanese Steel Art master.  His name is "Ryoma Sakamoto".  The age was end of Tokugawa era and there were constant fights and killings between pros and cons of existing government of Tokugawa Shogunate.  Government hired an assassin group "Shinsen-gumi" to kill anti-government people, which "Ryoma" was one of them.

One day walking in the street, "Ryoma" and his friend encountered this killing machine group.  They were 20 or more Samurai Worriers.  Even Ryoma, being a master of Japanese Sword Art, 2 against 20 could never win.  Ryoma's friend being ready to pull out his sword and fight for death, Ryoma stopped him and walked toward his enemy group.  On his way, he picked up and held a cat.  He was singing, rubbing the cat, and continue walked toward the enemy group.  He did not even show a piece of fighting sign.  He said excuse me to the top people and walked through the group.   Shinsengumi, his enemy could not do anything and Ryoma with his friend were unharmed.  Later he explained that it is difficult for a person to harm the other, if the other did not show his intention of fighting.

Book Review "Judo with words: An Intelligent Way to Counter Verbal Attacks"-1

It has been a while since I picked up a book and read last time.  I reviewed several books August - September last year.  Those were Japanese books and mostly stories, though some were based on historical facts.  Since we moved to Hayward, we have been busy and have not really felt like reading.  In San Mate, where they had very good library of Japanese and Chinese Books, we used to go to the library 2-3 times a week.  I also like book shops.  But, again, I have not felt like reading.

It was last week when I needed to go to west side of San Francisco Bay, I had about an hour to start to move to the next place.  So, I decided to go to the Library.  This book was in Japanese.  It immediately drew my attention.  The book's title was interesting.

It is "Judo with words: An Intelligent Way to Counter Verbal Attacks" by Barbara Berkham.  The author is a Psycho Therapist in Germany.  She learned Japanese Martial Arts "Judo - Aikido" and took analogical explanation on how to cope with Verbal Attacks.  Her view is that the method to cope with Verbal Attack is nothing different from coping against physical attack.

I usually do not touch "Know-how" type of book, but this time I am glad that I borrowed the book from the library.  I have been looking for a book talking about a way to build psychological strength.  She says even if one wanted to pick up a fight, the other did not take on the fight, it does not become a fight.  I think this is true to some extent.  It is relatively easy to catch a dog who tries to fight against you, but it is almost impossible to catch a dog who is running around and away.

This week was so busy that I could not write an article in the middle of the week.  Japanese car manufacturer and their group are visiting us.  I am pretty good, quick, experienced, and skillful on these meetings, I could say.  Select members who give value to the meeting, set agenda, prepare presentations in each interest field, prepare for the questions and answers, brain storm for core conclusions which we would like visitors to hear and pay attention.  I generally enjoy meeting itself.  But, it is still tiring.  After the meeting, you could not be relaxed and get rested.  You would like to write minutes of the meeting and distribute to the attendants.  This way, everybody will be in the same page on the meeting.  At the same time, you will drive course of actions after the meeting.

I will write another article to show you all these processes, but this article is not for that.  This is the other side of the article series "Vision and Passion" Internet Tool Box which I posted.  I have had a vision to build a website of "Tool Box" for "Internet Business".  I have not yet completed, it is far away from the completion.  But, this site will never be completed in one way or the other, since it will be ever changing and evolving as Internet and websites will.  This site is a showcase for the tools which I believe to be useful for your Internet Business and Internet Marketing, if you are involved in marketing and sales.  Since I could not put up all the tools and solutions I can offer you, I added 2 way communication column in the bottom of the site, so that you can check and ask questions.

Please take a look and feel free to contact me if you have a question.  I am planning to add videos and e-books so that tools I can offer in the site will be 10 or more.  So, take a note of it, and keep attention.

"Passion" and "Vision" -3

Did not you have an experience that your looking information came to you, when you are interested in something and positively and voluntarily looking for information?  Or haven't you experienced that you came across an advice when you needed it and actively looked for it.

It seems to me the key words here are "positively, voluntarily, and actively".  There are people who said they are waiting for they feel like "active" to do something.  But, my conclusion here is that you will be never active if you wait for the moment you feel like active.  Instead, I think if you are active and start taking an action, you start to feel like active.

This is why I plan to meet a new (mostly business) person for the first time and schedule to have lunch or dinner with that person, whenever I feel dull and inactive.  I do not want the new person regard me to be inactive or dull, so I need to be prepared and go out meet that person.

It is important to meet a quality person and avoiding negative and only-critic style of person (No Action Talk Only -Somebody told me this is called "NATO".  I do not know what kind of joke it is.-), since I do not want to be influenced by such a person.  I know I am easy to be influenced.

Instead, I plan to meet a person who are positive, active, outgoing.  I am glad if I am influenced that way.  I can keep being active by being active.  If not feeling active, take an action to be active.

Next time when you feel inactive, please try this.
