This is old story in my life, my senior in my previous laboratory who dropped out said me at his graduation, “I wanted to be more smart so I read many books, I never lose the number of books I read. However, I found I had been senseless. The important point is not the input but the output. Finally I understood it at around three months prior to graduation time. I was failed but I found, so I don’t want you to make the same mistake.”
I don’t remember the detail but almost it’s correct. Honestly I didn’t respect him at all but those words impressed me a lot at that time. If I feel distress about output, I used to remember his words. In other words, recently it’s hard to write this blog because of idealess.
There is a English proverb to convince people to wake up early in morning. In Japan there is a proverb that has the same meaning of the title proverb.
Why is to wake up early important? Why ancient people didn’t say it’s important to stay up late? I guess it’s the truth but it’s not only the truth. When I get to the core of it, to control own sleeping is the important for us. In my case, I try it everyday but it’s difficult because human body needs minimum sleeping time.
My roommate changed his hair color gold. I don’t know his intention but sometime he do like this thing. I knew his face, his look and his figure because you know I live with him, every morning saying hello. However, after changing hair color I couldn’t recognize him soon.
I was really surprised at that. Only hair color change made me confused. I don’t think his identity was black hair, but I missed. Therefore, drastic change in one part can make change whole impression. It leads to everything. Anything can be changed by small but radical change in people’s impression. This function can be used for good or bad things.
I said how important moving hands is, but I found more important thing. That is daily routine, keeping on doing it.
I kept on doing my routine that is super easy to do, but I broke it because I had to wake up earlier than usual. That one mistake broke my day, today I couldn’t work acceptably. Whole day I suffered from one small judgement error. This fact made me realize that how important it is! I thought one person was made by daily routine, daily habit and daily meal, so it’s really important to make everyday better.
How important moving hands is! especially for designers. I realized that universal truth again by professor’s words.
On white paper or on computer display there are no human. Though we can write down human’s figure on them, we can’t always recognize them as a real human. It’s because they are not human, picture is just picture. On the other hand, if we made something like prototype model by moving hands, we can recognize it as if it is real. It’s because it exist surely.
PKD Flag Signaling

A new iPhone App produced by PKD is now on sale. The name is PKD Flag Signaling. You can learn Japanese style flag signaling by using this App. It’s really easy to learn for Japanese because it is based on KATAKANA, a Japanese simplified character. I guess, you can learn it in one or two hours with this App.
Flag signaling is a primitive long distance communication way. With this App you can learn one of the oldest way of long distance communication by a latest high technology long distance communication tool. It’s very intended, isn’t it?
Usually trouble can be doubled, bad things lap over other bad things. It’s one of the truth in the world, we can’t escape.
Today I had many troubles. One or two of them were my fault, caused by me, but the others were not mine, caused by others, but I couldn’t avoid them. I think it’s also one of the truth that all troubles are not one’s fault and also not others fault.
What I realized today was that the only way to cut a chain of troubles is to calm down and check everything again and not to be hurry.
“Damn me now. I’ll destroy the hell.”
Prof.Kazuo Kawasaki
I felt how large his scale is.  His students, we know some of his legendary story. He faced fatal crisis three times in his life, each time he went cross middle of the death’s river but he was pulled back to the real world. You can say it’s just kidding but we know it’s already miracle that he is living with that kinds of serious diseases.
He who knows the temperature of the death’s river said so, I felt that only he could do. However, I hope he keeps good health and live longer.
There is one weird rule among Ph.D candidates. It’s like this they must submit some papers to international journal, take peer review and they must have some published papers before getting a degree. Maybe you can’t understand its weirdness. The weirdness of this rule is everyone knows this rule but everyone doesn’t know its detail.
Someone said they need to have three published paper on international journal, it’s the most hardest one to clear, and another person said they need to have two published paper on any journal and one international oral presentation.
I think its essence is to get objectivity. Honestly speaking, Ph.D degree is given by one subject professor, but it must be confirmed by university. However they can’t understand edge research on other major field. So, they farmed out judging to professional journal. In other words, the difference of the details of the rule is depend on individual thinking on the guarantee of objectivity. I was freaked out by this rule, my mind was cleared.
Time is the only one thing given to all people equally. The use of time decide others is not too much to say.
How to make time? We can never do that essentially. We have no choice but to throw away something if you want time to focus on the others.
It means I chose to throw away my sleeping time for researching. However, humans need to sleep. Sleep seems to be the only one thing to make a recovery for physical fatigue.
Humans bodies are really well designed, because if bodies feel tiredness brains forcibly lay down theirs bodies.
In other words, I need time more especially sleeping time.
