In this episode, I look back on episode 11 of season 5 of the anime Kingdom, titled "Bihei and the Hi Shin Unit."
There were powerful moments where emotions clashed — Shin’s tears, Bihei’s self-loathing, and the warmth of true comradeship.
How did you feel in those moments when your heart was moved?
Let’s take a moment to savor the lingering echoes of this powerful story together.
Original story by Yasuhisa Hara.
Animation by Pierrot and Studio Signpost.
The TV anime series began airing in 2012.
Season 5 is currently airing in 2024.

土用（どよう）："土用（どよう）" strictly refers to the 18 days before the first days of spring, summer, fall, and winter (on the lunar calendar). Today, however, "土用（どよう）" generally refers only to the 18 days before the first day of fall.

丑（うし）の日（ひ）：The day called "丑（うし）の日（ひ）", which is translated literally as the day of the Ox, can be seen in the calendar that follows the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. The twelve signs were introduced to Japan from ancient China. The twelve signs were allocated one by one to the days on the calendar. "丑（うし）の日（ひ）" is the day to which the second sign of the twelve signs is allocated. 

立春（りっしゅん）：the first day of spring
立夏（りっか）：the first day of summer
立秋（りっしゅう）：the first day of fall
立冬（りっとう）：the first day of winter

What is a winning mindset for a job interview?+

As someone who has interviewed hundreds of English teachers, I’ve seen firsthand the mindset patterns that set top performers apart.

Here are a few key traits of winners:

Growth Mindset: Winners see every interview, even those that don’t lead to a job offer, as an opportunity to learn and grow. They reflect on their performance, identify areas for improvement, and use feedback to enhance their skills.

Positive Self-Belief: Winners believe in their abilities and their potential to succeed. They approach interviews with confidence and a genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity.

Goal-Oriented: Winners have a clear understanding of their career goals and how the role aligns with their aspirations. They articulate their aspirations clearly and demonstrate how their skills and experience can contribute to the company’s success.

So, what exactly is a winning mindset?

It’s not about being perfect or always getting the job. It’s about embracing a set of attitudes and beliefs that empower you to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

Listen to the recording and gain insights from someone who was the top performer for 54 consecutive months out of 1500-4000 English teachers!

You’ll uncover key strategies that can help you develop a winning mindset and ace your next interview.

To Your Success,

Talk about sport

It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness

Consistency refers to behaving or performing in a similar way each time. It's about being reliable and dependable. In everyday life, consistency can be seen in following a routine, maintaining good habits, or treating others fairly.

【结语】
我们为什么要出走，有时是想逃逸，有时是想恋爱，有时是怀念诗意。
无论如何，总有一个理由让我们想要暂时离开熟悉的人和环境，去让自己放一下空。
那么，放下当前的平凡，试着投入和体验另一种平凡。
平凡处，亦是闪光处。
