Hello, this is President Yasui, running a one-person company mainly engaged in inspections of high-pressure gas equipment.
I paid for an on-demand course by credit card online, but the email with the URL for the learning materials never arrived…
Even after contacting them, three days have passed and I still haven’t heard back.
The only contact method is a form—no phone number at all.
Quite troubling, isn’t it? (^◇^;)
I haven’t been able to start learning from the course I signed up for yet, but as I keep studying different things in my daily life, I strongly feel that if you don’t use your brain, its power really starts to decline.
You know how some people say, “I get sleepy when I read a book”?
I think that’s exactly a sign of the brain’s decline.
It’s as if the brain is saying: “I can’t think! I don’t want to think! Things are fine as they are!”—rejecting the extra effort that comes from reading.
Reading text is something we all do every day without even thinking about it.
You’ve got your smartphone in hand.
You naturally use it all the time—reading news, watching short videos, searching the web, shopping online, reading emails, reading the newspaper.
But when it comes to reading a book—you get sleepy! (lol)
It’s almost like a person on their last legs with only the stamina to walk 5 meters, using up all their energy just to read a single line.
Why are you reading that book? Do you truly want to read it? What’s the purpose or reason behind it?
I can’t keep reading books that don’t interest me or that I can’t understand at all…
It’s boring, I lose focus, and if it’s too difficult, I end up just scanning words without absorbing anything.
Even if you can read, without a clear purpose or genuine interest, it’s like practicing a sport with no drive—you won’t really improve, and it doesn’t mean much.
As long as we live, I believe people want to keep moving forward.
We want today’s version of ourselves to be better than yesterday’s.
When I was in my 30s, I went through a period of deep struggle.
Instead of thinking things through with my own head to solve problems, I searched for solutions outside myself and ended up spending a few difficult years.
If only I had encountered books earlier back then. If I had been able to think more fundamentally. If I had practiced metacognition.
I might have saved myself from wasting so much time.
Since then, I’ve wanted to learn more and more.
There was a time when I was buying books in bulk, but now that my library has grown, I’ve been rereading instead.
Rereading often brings me new insights that I didn’t catch the first time—it’s really rewarding.
Honestly, buying fewer books but reading the same ones multiple times might be far more efficient and beneficial.
To build a brain that truly thinks, you need to study, read, and make an effort to bring new ideas into yourself.
That’s probably a skill we need for our entire lifetime.
Sure, living absentmindedly can be easy and fun, but living while learning new things is also fun in its own way.
You might get sleepy right away, but consider that just a passing stage…
Try to push through and overcome that drowsiness!
Thank you for reading all the way through!
See you again soon!
