はい、こんにちは。今回はシーズン2の6回目です。2023年明けましておめでとうございます。１月１日の午前中、家の周りを散歩しました。去年の正月はとても静かでしたが、今年の正月はなんだか賑やかでした。家の周りの公園やカフェやレストランに外国人観光客がたくさんいたからです。日本では家や近所で正月を過ごす人が多いですが、他の国では海外旅行をする人が多いですね。私も海外旅行に行きたいですが、今の航空券の値段が高すぎて驚いています。

Hello. This is episode 6 of season 2 of my podcast. Happy New Year! I hope you all have a wonderful 2023. On the morning of 1 January, I took a walk around my neighbourhood. Last New Year's Day was very quiet, but this New Year's Day was somewhat lively. This is because there were many foreign tourists in the parks, cafés and restaurants nearby my house. In Japan, many people spend New Year's at home or in their neighbourhood, but in other countries, many people travel abroad. I would like to travel abroad too, but I am surprised at how expensive airline tickets are nowadays.

今日は日本語のアクセントについてお話ししたいと思います。例えば日本語では「箸」と「橋」の例が有名です。この二つの単語は「は」と「し」で出来ていますから、ひらがなで書くと全く同じです。読み方で意味の違いを表現します。「箸」のように「は」を「し」よりも高いピッチで発音すると、chopsticksの意味になります。もう一度発音します「箸」。そして、「橋」のように「は」を「し」よりも低いピッチで発音すると、bridgeの意味になります。もう一度発音します「橋」。箸を使って、寿司を食べます。ロンドンブリッジは有名な橋です

Today I would like to talk about pitch accent in Japanese. For example, the well-known examples in Japanese are ‘Hashi' (chopsticks) and ‘Hashi' (bridge). These two words are made up of 'ha' and 'shi', so when written in hiragana they are exactly the same. The way they are pronounced expresses the difference in meaning. If the 'ha' is pronounced with a higher pitch than the 'shi', as in 'Hashi', it means 'chopsticks'. Pronounce it again ‘Hashi' (chopsticks). And if you pronounce the 'ha' lower in pitch than the 'shi', as in 'Hashi', it means ‘bridge’. Pronounce it again, ‘Hashi' (bridge). Use ‘Hashi' (chopsticks) to eat sushi. London Bridge is a famous ‘Hashi' (bridge).

A Personal Mission Statement is a concise (usually 1-3 sentences) summary of your core values, aspirations, and the impact you want to make in life. It's your personal guiding principle, a compass that helps you navigate decisions and goals. Unlike a resume objective statement focusing on a specific job, a Personal Mission Statement is broader, encompassing your entire life journey.

Here's what a Personal Mission Statement typically captures:

Values: What principles are most important to you? (e.g., honesty, creativity, helping others)
Goals: What do you want to achieve in life? (e.g., build a strong family, make a positive difference in the world, achieve financial security)
Impact: How do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to leave behind?
Crafting a Personal Mission Statement is a self-discovery process. Reflect on what motivates you, what brings you joy, and the kind of person you want to be. Here are some prompts to get you started:

What are my strengths and passions?
What kind of world do I want to contribute to?
What impact do I want to have on the lives of others?
Remember, a Personal Mission Statement is a living document. It can evolve as you grow and your priorities shift. Reviewing it regularly can help you stay focused and make choices aligned with your true north.

Here's an example of a Personal Mission Statement:

To use my creativity and passion for science to develop innovative solutions that address environmental challenges, leaving a sustainable future for generations to come. 
This statement highlights the core value of environmental responsibility, the goal of innovation, and the desired impact of a sustainable future.
