2013-12-08 "Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, I stop it."

There is a popular education ways that is "Scolding intentionally to make their motivation"

I think this way is obsolete currently.

I believe the saying "Scolding on intentionally to make their motivation" is just excuse for inefficient teachers and trainers.

To begin with, I think that the way is no longer effective.

-----

Gospel according to St. Matthew says that "Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."

The other day, my colleague told me the nice following,

In my opinion, "Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, I stop it."

It is Nice.

I also do same things, never struggle against the scolding.

It's too much of a bother.


2014-12-08 "I think that I am going to include my life in the gift"

I am afraid that many prominent actors and actress passed away recently.

Whenever I hear these kinds of the news that some and upper generation’s celebrities pass away one after another, I feel that I am also going to pass away in the near future.

So I think something deeply in the present.

-----

The other day, my senior daughter attended a funeral, and was given a gift in return for a funeral offering. (It was the assorted laver.)

My second daughter asked me what that was, I explained about the gift.

-----

Daughter:"What kinds of the gift are there?"

Ebata:"Dried bonito, condiment, and tea leaves, for example"

Daughter:"Only foods?"

Ebata:"The food gift might mean that we should forget the deceased as soon as possible, and let us live our life in a constructive manner".

Daughter: "What gift do you want to give them in your funeral?"

Ebata:"I think that I am going to include my life in the gift"

Daughter:"H'm."

Ebata:"Extremely hot curry in vacuum packs is the best. I want to make and keep them by myself before my death"

In this step, my wife interrupted our talks.

Wife:"Absolutely NOT. I will be shamed"

Ebata:"I will have already passed away before giving others to the gift"

Wife:"It is displaying a lack of consistency that "forgets the deceased as soon as possible". I think that a worldly desire to keep your life with violent impression.

Ebata:"Oh..."

Wife:"For the second thought, I don't have to care, because I will pass away before you."


2015-12-08 The other day I picked a SD card up in the commute train.

The other day I picked a SD card up in the commute train.

I usually leave it alone, however, the card was left on the train floor near my language. So I thought

"Might it be mine ?"

and I happened to pick it carelessly.

-----

Any unknown SD card and USB memory of are really to be annoyed.

Even if a dummy picks it up and open it in the Internet, the owner privacy is going to be destroyed.

Moreover, if some trade secrets of the owner's company are in it , the owner's penalty must be more than the fired.

From the above viewpoint, "to destroy any storage device with stepping upon" might be a good manner.

But

If "delicious memory of family , or memorial pictures of deceased" are in the device, the owner might search it in a black rage.

I could confirm the contents in the device by my note PC, however, I have to take a risk of a computer virus.

In my case, I am not forgiven just to blame for the stupid action, because I am a specialist in the field.

-----

After all, I throwed the SD card out at the station office. I just told the officer the train and time I had picked it up .

Of course, I didn't leave my name either.

After that, I don't want me to ask to write my sign a covenant of "NO COPY" ( It is the real story)

In short, I left the problem at the train company and run away.

So, I leave it to you, Odakyu-Dentetsu.


2016-12-08 I hope that I want to live my life without causing waves, so called "fence-sitting".

(Continuation from yesterday)

I hope that I want to live my life without causing waves, so called "fence-sitting".

This my "fence-sitting" policy has been

to be built up after getting the job,

to be tighten after the marriage,

to become a belief after having children,

and

to come to a religion by problems of education and caring for my children and parents.

You might get angry, saying " who can use the word "fence-sitting"",

However I have been supposed not to teeter over the edge, and respect "please stay back of the white line".

-----

I am a human being, who

works at the office on the business days without making a fuss, and

writes my columns at my room on the weekend without uttering a word, and

repeats the above two tasks again and again

and cannot do anything without the two activities basically

(To be continued)


2017-12-08 ""A couple flirting" is the subject of the greatest possible protection"

"I feel uncomfortable seeing "a couple flirting"in the public place, such as in a train."

If you have some hypotheses that can be explained logically, please contact us.

By the way, as I was a young person I've been an experienced "couple who is flirting", so there is no problem to exclude the hypothesis that " my jealous" for a couple who is flirting.

If possible, I would be happy if you could discuss it from a "behavioral economics" point of view (now it is my boom).

From the viewpoint of "selfish genes", I examined it (but the logic collapsed).

-----

Given the current declining birthrate and Japan's aging population,

""A couple flirting" is the subject of the greatest possible protection"

However, the psychology of us seems not to act like that.

-----

During the busy year-end, I know that it is troublesome for you, however, please give your support for me.

Furthermore, if you send me a impressive hypothesis, I will give you the honor(?) that it will be introduced in my blog.


2018-12-08 "My hobby is Mr. Ebata's blog."

Sometimes I receive a mail of support.

"My hobby is Mr. Ebata's blog."

When I get an e-mail written like that, I am in a good mood with reviewing the mail again and again all day.

-----

On my blog I write somewhat difficult, however, after all I am a simple guy.


2019-12-08 "Is it meaningful with using the method ?"

The other day, I went to medical checkup.

And during the interview, the doctor said to me "Nothing abnormal", and I felt it is the Royal Straight Flush.

How many years has I heard the phrase? It may be the first time I was born.

This is a full score if it is TOEIC, however it is not TOEIC.

-----

I have terrible presbyopia recently and I can't read the letters on my computer without reading glasses.

Still, in this visual acuity check, I have got a score of 1.5 for both eyes, although I could hardly see them.

The conclusion is that "math is useful".

Especially for things like automated vision testing equipment, "Bayesian estimation" is very effective.

-----

Wife: "Is it meaningful with using the method ?"

Ebata:"What we can see is not everything. What is important is to see in our heart ―― and that includes "probability calculation".


2020-12-08 In short, as long as it tastes good to me, I honestly don't care about the process.

I am not a gourmand.

However, I have experimented that

When a local engineer asked me what the best American food was, I was able to ask him back, "If there is such a dish, tell me about it"

When I was on a business trip to London, I said to a local expatriate, "London's food is pretty cool, isn't it? I was told that "London is not England"

I admit that I'm not a hopeless tastemaker, and,

I believe I can distinguish between what is "good" and what is "not good" and verbalize it.

-----

Recently, I have been watching with great interest the acquisition of Otoya Gohan-dokoro by Otoya Holdings.

The point of contention in this acquisition case was whether to have "completely homemade food" or to outsource part of the cooking (central kitchen).

I really like the set meals at the "set meal restaurant"

When I lived in Kyoto as a student, eating "ginger-grilled set meal" or "saury set meal with natto" at the set meal restaurant "Hiyoshi" at Eizan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Hachiman-mae station, is a reward to study and work.

And, well, I am a bit sensitive when it comes to "set meal restaurant" and "set meal".

-----

I don't insist on "completely handmade".

Even if it's a "central kitchen,", it's good enough for me, as long as I can eat a good set meal.

In short, as long as it tastes good to me, I honestly don't care about the process.

Perhaps "completely handmade" wins in taste, but this is a trade-off for price.

If the difference in taste is unrecognizable to me, the cheaper the set meal, the better.

-----

This is why I am looking forward to the future of Otoya Gohan-dokoro.

Of course, there is always the possibility that I might get a "big miss", but then I just go to another set meal restaurant.


2021-12-08 -- What? Not the politicians themselves, but the police? No protest, no warning, no complaint, and now the police? Is this suddenly a criminal law case?

The other day, we calculated the percentage of online submissions ignored (online submission ignorance rate) by linking Diet member-related political organizations with the names of politicians.

The next day, I received a phone call from the police, and to be honest, I was blue in the face.

-- What? Not the politicians themselves, but the police? No protest, no warning, no complaint, and now the police? Is this suddenly a criminal law case?

While I was in a panic,

The police contacted me about this "'power dog' called by my senior daughter".

He told me that he had completed his work and called me to ask about the procedures to be followed.

I sighed in relief.

-----

By the way, needless to say, I can't tell you the details of my cooperation with the police.

Please accept our apologies.


2022-12-08 "Don't talk about what you like with a smug look on your face, you old man!"

I just finished reading "Golden Kamuy." It was interesting.

If you find this interesting, I would like to share this book with you.

Yoichi Funado's "Ezochi Bekken" (A Case of Ezo)

It is very difficult to describe the "awesomeness" of this book.

I can at least guarantee that the line 'Japan is a mono-ethnic nation' will not come up in your subsequent life.

-----

I think there are fewer books by Yoichi Funado-san that I have not read.

And one such book I would personally recommend is

"A Chronicle on Sand"

And I personally want to have all the volumes of "Manshuukoku Engi" (seriously).

However, we don't have the space for them in our house anymore, so we have them preserved at the library (selfishly).

-----

I realize that the reason I can get excited and enjoy Yoichi Funado's books so much is because I was taught the basics of world history and Japanese history (especially modern history) during my compulsory and higher education studies.

I'm really sorry to repeat myself over and over again -- but I think the purpose of studying is not to get in school or get a job, but to 'go your life a Disneyland'.

-----

Well, I am well aware that these words do not resonate with the ongoing teenagers.

Even when I was a teenager, I would have thought this.

-- "Don't talk about what you like with a smug look on your face, you old man!"


2023-12-08 I would be surprised if any student on a college campus today knew about the "Palestinian issue."

As I have written , I dislike the line "even if it is against the world".

However, there are real governments and people who make it their "national policy".

-----

By the way, there was a time when the youth of our country (not all youth, of course) were in solidarity in support of Palestine (anti-Israel, of course).

Support for Palestine in the Japanese student movement of the 1970s continued into later years and played a role in supporting Palestine's quest for independence and rights.

Protests, demonstrations, support for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and the anti-Vietnam war movement, to name a few, the university campus at the time was a lawless zone, or rather, an 'open zone'."the university campus at that time was a lawless zone, or rather an 'open zone.'

Unfortunately, I was born about 15 years too late and missed the chance to stand in this "open zone,", but I have kept up with the residue, I believe.

For example, in this way.

-----

I am a college student now, and it seems that my university was a famous mother of quite radical activities in the 1960s and 1970s.

However, as far as I can see, not a single student is shouting "Palestine solidarity" on college campuses.

Well, naturally.

I would be surprised if any student on a college campus today knew about the "Palestinian issue".
