Communication starts with intention…as your intentions will be felt long before your message is heard…-- Doug Firebaugh
コミュニケーションは意志から始まる。というのはメッセージが相手に聞こえる前にあなたの意志が感じられるからである。
コミュニケーションというのは、言葉だけじゃなく、態度や聞こえない部分が重要であるということでしょうか。ある心理学の研究では、コミュニケーションで、意味の60%以上は音声以外で理解されると言いますが。。。

Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near an abandoned
gas station. They approached one of the petrol pumps, and
one of them said to it, "Greetings, earthling. We come in
peace. Take us to your leader."
The petrol pump, of course, didn't respond. The alien
repeated the greeting. There was no response. The alien, annoyed
by what he perceived to be the petrol pump's haughty attitude,
drew his ray gun, and said impatiently, "Earthling, how dare you
ignore us in this way! Take us to your leader or I will fire!"
The other alien shouted to his comrade, "No, you mustn't
anger him!" But before he finished his warning, the first
alien fired.
There was a huge explosion that blew both of them 200 meters
into the desert, where they landed in a heap. When they finally
regained consciousness, the one who fired turned to the other
one and said, "What a ferocious creature. It nearly killed us!
But how did you know he was so dangerous?"
The other alien answered, "If there's one thing I've learned
during all my travels through the galaxy, it's that if a guy
has a penis he can wrap around himself twice and then stick
into his own ear, don't mess with him!"

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor
the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the
spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers
that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust
him with his friendship.ーRalph Waldo Emerson
友情の恵みというものは、差し伸べられる手でもなければ、親切な微笑みでもなければ、一緒にいる喜びでもない。それは私たちがだれか他の人が自分のことを信じていてくれて、友情を持って喜んで信頼してくれるということを発見したときに私たちが感じる崇高な感激の気持ちである。
友情って心の支えになりますよね。

When you know clearly what you want, you'll wake up every morning excited about life.-- Mark Victor Hansen
自分がしたいこと、ほしいものを明確に知っていれば、あなたは生きることに興奮をおぼえて、毎朝目を覚ますであろう。
本当に自分のしたいことを知っている人っていうのは、人生も充実しているということでしょうか。

A blonde enters a restaurant and goes straight to the bulletin board in the back. On the board, she sees a piece of paper that reads "Ocean Cruise - Only $5".
She pulls the piece of paper from the board and goes to the address listed on the back of it. She enters the building and hands the paper to the secretary who nods and asks the blonde if she has five dollars. The blonde takes five dollars from her purse and gives it to the secretary.
The secretary then looks over to a burly guy reading a newspaper and nods to him. He stands up, walks over to the blonde and knocks her unconscious.
When she wakes up, she finds that she's tied to a log and is floating down the river. She starts to think that maybe this wasn't such a good idea. All of a sudden, she sees one of her blonde friends tied to a log floating right next to her.
"So, do you think they're going to serve us some food on this trip?" the blonde asks her friend.
"They didn't serve any last year!" her blonde friend replies.

只今東京に到着、ホテルにチェック・インしました。
前回、夏に日本に来たときは、追い風が強くて、定刻より早く着いたのですが、今回は向かい風が強く、定刻よりかなり遅れて飛行機が到着しました。太平洋を渡るだけで、季節風の向きが変わり、冬が近づいているのがわかります。
飛行機の中で仕事をする予定だったのですが、食事時間を除いては爆睡状態。やはり疲れていたようです。
明日の朝は早くから行商仲間との会議。もう寝ます。

これから空港へ発ちます。
新宿のホテルには日本時間の3日の7時頃チェックインの予定。
着いたら、またブログ、アップします。(その前にみたらし団子を食べるつもりでいますけど (笑))
一応、10月3日の格言・名言だけアップしていきます。
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write,
if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be,
he must be.-- Abraham Maslow
もし最終的に心の平安を得るとするならば、音楽家は音楽を生み出さなければならないし、画家は絵を描かなければならないし、詩人は描かなければならない。人間がなれるもの、それがその人のなるべきものなのである。
小さなことでもいいから、自分のできることにさらに磨きをかける、その努力をしていきたいですね。
