I agree with this under certain assumption. If you're talking about lifework, then I totally agree. You should make the most of your hobby, as it is the best way you can contribute to the society. However, if you're imagining that you're always tied to your hobby as an employee, I don't think it is a good idea. Employees should basically follow what you're asked from the company, so it's not of your choice how you can go along with your hobby. And there's always some kind of responsibility if you work as an employee. You may be subject to the risk that you'll end up losing all the creativity and curiosity you used to have on your hobby if you keep being exposed to every kind of responsibility and mandatory works as an employee.

"New Year's Resolution" Three words to be used: "Numerology" "Review" "Focus" I've been making it habit to share my New Year's Resolution with my best friends on New Year's day. We've been doing this for over 5 years, and normally we set at least three targets each which should be achieved by the end of the year. Basically, my ultimate goals are set years ahead, so the milestones set each year often seem so similar. So, I occasionally make use of numerology, and set some goals that would never come up in my mind if I just do it routinely. Once the targets are set, then all I need to do is to stick to the target, set solid plan and just do it actually. Monthly review is quite important because you often end up following different path as you carry out the plan, as you may be distracted by many obstacles you encounter. Setting targets and plans can be done quite easily, but it is more important how to keep yourself focused on it.

A good teacher is a good leader. He isn't necessarily be knowledgeable but he should keep motivating his students in many ways. Good teachers often leave some words that sit in your mind for many years, which guide you through when your life seems to be tough.

Physical exercise has made it possible for me to lose some weight, which has huge impact on my daily physical activities. Particularly after COVID pandemic, I've put on some weight, as I work from home almost everyday and lost opportunities to even go for a walk. I started to do some workouts that can be done on a yoga mat or in the bathtub. It contributed to reduce my weight to 1kg. Although it seems a minor change, it actually had a significant impact in my daily activities. I'm no longer get exhausted when going upstairs!

I'm quite certain that this also applies to many other countries, but the most popular entertaining apps in Japan is definitely YouTube. Music, comedy, sometimes anime, and even to education, pretty much everything is available on YouTube. Even some of the popular Japanese comedians have recently shifted their business field from TV to YouTube.

Overall, people behave well in my country. People basically comply with whatever rules or regulations once being set. They don't cross street when the signal turns red. Most of the people wear masks even it has not been actually forced by the the government. They keep lines when getting on the trains. However, there's always pros and cons. Well behaving also means they are pretty much too obedient. Majority of the people are not good at breaking rules for innovation or taking leadership as a pioneer.

I've been working for a manufacturing company as an electrical engineer for over 10 years. To be more specific, my job is related to power cable industry. Unlike many thin cables around us, such as a cable for the smartphone, power cables are huge and they can even be up to several hundred millimeters in diameter, which are used to transmit electricity from power plants etc. In the past few years, I've been involved in offshore wind industry, so I've designed submarine power cables used for that purpose.

I've been making bathroom-workout as my routine. Particularly, I do paddling in the bathtub. I regularly do surfing on weekends, so this workout helps building basic skills that is necessary for surfing. Why I do this in the bathtub? It's definitely because I want to make the most of time and spare some time purely for myself. It's almost impossible to raise three little boys and at the same time spare additional time purely for my personal development.
