Reports:

Referring to the reports here of Wednesday, December 26, I met Shigeo-san today in the discovery of more content to add this enticing new project design to support our blind brothers and sisters throughout Japan and the world. Accompany by Ayumi and Yoko, it felt good that the conversation in Japanese could spray wings to where Shigeo could come to share more about himself and also being able to come out of the circle of “majime” concepts for a while when all we need sometimes is just a good laugh.

Today I have shared the concept of getting together as an association and creating a committee. Once the committee is created then the members will follow. This is a simple thing to do when you think about it. Everything always starts with the union of minds, coming together in timely purposes.

FUSION SPORTS SENSES Association, FSSA. This is the name that I am thinking about.
Introducing Bubble Ball and the like of games that will challenge people but also make people laugh. It is important to understand that people with “handicap”, can be funny too and actually we should fusion together on the base that the word “handicap” does not exist in the world of creation. We human beings have categorized everything into a status that transcribes how someone can be inferior or superior, accordingly with financial, religious, cultural background or physical condition. We categorize children in school thinking that some are less intelligent than others when usually those who fail in school are often those who make a better life for themselves. Lets us think about an individual person who submits into a life of differences because of birth defect might be feeling and thinking about. We do not connect to that because we feel fortunate and blessed to be “normal”, and running into someone’s shoes is really not in the mind of anyone feeling good about himself/herself. Therefore, I propose something that will invite everyone to share into the fun of experiencing what it is to be a high-senses being. Whom we call “handicap” are a superior being who learn to dwell on the planet with the less physical advantages than others. If the FSSA programs start this year it will change the way we look at each other. Do not pity those who have been blessed with a defective birth, because on the plane to the next, you will be the one that’s left behind and who need help. What comes to the mind of an artist when he retracts back home alone after a public show of great success? My point is what comes to the mind of a person sitting on a wheelchair year round trying to build a life for himself/herself? Unless we learn to sit on someone’s chair or walk into someone’s shoes, there is not much we can know about the way life engineered itself to bring the best to everyone alive, without exception.

The gentleman sitting across from me on the photo below is Shigeo and he cannot see with his eyes. But he has a beautiful family, wife 2 daughters and is busy working almost the whole 365 days of the year. He is fortunate in so many ways, and thinking that he is missing anything out of this life on earth just because he cannot see, is something we think about because our conscience has not educated us to see from the creator’s point of view. Basically, ignorance is what makes up the other 95% of my mind’s potential that I am not in anyways utilizing. Maybe FSSA will help me explore a greater me, a greater “together”, and a more accurate way to think about our life. When the next time you see a blind person, if your conscience has giving ways for you to know who you really are in potential, then you will probably envy that person surely knowing that he/she has acquired in spirit a level of contemplating life where even if you had to meditate 3 years straight sitting on the beach, you will never, never reach. I am so very happy to introduce FSSA, as something that will enrich my life on earth in the fortunate occasion to have understood the purpose of creation through the eyes of those whose heart can see passionately and undisturbed by differences.

Reports:

It was cold outside today but it felt warm in my heart. I had the whole day without any live meeting and so I thought I would do a lot with my local IT work but the whole day I was mainly proscratinating thinking that I would get things done as soon as ready in my heart and mind. It is on that kind of day when I discover how time passes in a way that each moment although precious, it is here to serve us entirely to the direction that we opt to choose, even if there are moments when nothing comes to mind. These are moments of truth when we explore the possibilities for changes if we had not yet completely dedicated our mind to our dreams or passion. And even if we did make the absolute commitment to achieve what it is for us to complete in the lapse of one year, one month or one week, the clarity as to the strategy by which we go about it, is always important to reflect. Therefore, and for me,  it is important to use those idol moment to the making of some form of reflection all the while, when the energy boost again, the road might attract more clear than it was. I had a great day of doing nothing today.

Reports:

A little gift from Takuya form a friend of him designer. The designer has for particularity to designing 10 cups. The message is: you are the cup on the top.

Afternoon with Junko and Her daughter Saori:

When the welcome is warm, you can’t help but want to share.

Junko’s place is right here and even if this seems a little cafe it is filled with good surprises. I really enjoy just being there and what I loved a lot was that big wooden table that took large space but making you feel like dining together with your best friends. This is what it feels like at Junko’s place. She is also a writer of blogs, media, and magazines and it is fantastic to see a passion for action through the simple act of caring for others the way she does it. At the end of the day, the cutty above is always shown through the way we respect and care for others. This is who we’d like to admire regardless of rich, poor, smart or vagabond, we all know what moves the heart of any crowd in the sequel of any good movie. It is all about kindness and respect. Nothing else. I do believe that if an individual can manage to show kindness through respect, then this all here the lesson of life in the splendor of how it should shine in every neighborhood. Kindness is the smile your face display or your hand offers, but respect has to do with honesty and sincerity in the communication to others. I feel there is a big difference between fear and respect. Respect knows no fear. Those leaders who impress on others by the status of their position might think they are respected by their employees but it usually the exact opposite. People usually react to fear of losing a job or position and that has nothing to do with respect. As soon as the boss turns his back, the finger is pointed at him. Therefore respect can’t be bought or compromised, but it gained through the simple act in bringing the passion into our daily moments. I felt that through Junko and the beautiful set up she had us all to see and to enjoy and that can’t be forgotten.

Meeting with Rikiya Nakata:

Very resourceful meeting today and it was a surprise. Things are moving fast in the first month of the year 2019. Now meeting with the owner of some of the most beautiful coastal regions of Japan, that calls for a celebration. Through my good friend Naoko Kubo, today might be the best day of 2019 so far. Riki (surname) was so kind to spend about 5 hours together in Shinagawa station on his way back to Wakayama. What a beautiful state! Riki is the proud owner of a most exquisite hotel garnished with “Onsen” – click on the photo  below:

This is a place like that, I would choose for a Marine Foundation branch office even if we had to rent a suite a whole year, it would be worth it. We would organize our first symposiums there as people would come comfortably surrounded by nature at its best to think solutions better. There is so much that can be done and come to think of it, we are blessed in Japan with majestic nature where Tokyo actually is a minor destination if you were to make a geographical beauty contest, places like Wakayama would be winners year round.

Most important about such hospitality organizations, the status is often reflected in the state of mind of its leadership. I can already tell how welcoming is the Hotel Seamore “Key Terrace” by the kindness and open heart of its owner. Riki is surely out of the ordinary because when I meet Japanese corporate leaders I am often confronted with a lack of open-mindedness which is not the case here. Riki opens up in English and is not shy of telling you he is just like you and me, and if you are a friend then make your way and let’s have a good time and hopefully we could be serving societies together if we happened to have a plan.

Marine Foundation does have a plan and I could help this hotel turn into an international hub for large and small gatherings that would make ways to support the local economy and stir international awareness of our organization sound development solutions for the entire world. I have the faith, the certitude, conviction, assurance, and confidence to help the world change for the best. But we need to meet, we need to celebrate together first, we need to understand that we are sailing on the same ocean and that we all come from the same waters. The breakthrough in technology in not in the discovery of what can be imagined to be done, but rather it is the application of getting together and deciding to actually substantiate everything we dream about. It finally happens when we agree together on the base of realization that it will benefit our children. Nothing else will work. Perfect Project Design happens when the next generation is accounted for.

Dinner with Yuka & Takuya:

Takuya Adachi and his beautiful girlfriend Yuka Kobayashi, invited to most delicious Yaki-Niku restaurant in Akasaka today. Truly this young man is a Bright future and Yuka, well she is destined for greatness from birth.

Sometimes, we older people are reminded of the pure reality that young people are genuinely blessed with virtues that we often wished we had cultivated a bit more through our so-called “life of experience”.  This is here the example of Yuka and Takuya whom how of their heart invited me to what I think was a very costly feast. I wish I had shared more about what my conscience was prompting me to tell but the warm atmosphere of the kindest and brightest people you would meet on planet Japan, kept me diverting into just smiling, listening, eating, tasting and just being just comfortable just enjoying this marvelous evening together. Takuya and Yuka are both brand owners of the trademark of the Marine Foundation. Yuka from an already very well established family from the city of Ise Japan, shared about her volunteering years to India when she witnessed sick children dying almost on her lap and then thrown into the river accordingly with local obligations to the humanitarian crisis there. I never knew Yuka has had experienced such deep and sad moments and it clearly explained her dedicated heart to want to make a better world for children to grow. Takuya is a young genius who has taken a hold on the business world from an early age to creating several companies. I am always learning I say, but it is interesting that I learn most from young people. It looks like their heart still resides in God’s palm and wisdom needs not an old age to be acquired. This evening was much more inspiring than I can describe here, but I will let my thoughts land slowly on my keyboard at some later time, because yes there is so much to share.

Reports:

First membership meeting:

Yes we are trying hard to come up with financial solutions to the start of the Marine Foundation’s global mapping. That is what was planned from the very beginning and the time has finally come when I would be all over the places around the world to set up the systems and meet the right people in the process. There are attempts to send money in our account in Tokyo but unless the potential donors or sponsors follow duly the banking procedures of our region then, little can be done. But I believe that the right fund that has been promised for a while is now coming and I kind of feel that this is a choice of Heaven somehow.

In the late afternoon I had the chance to meet our brand-owner member, Yoko Akahane, whose last year was a great participant in building up the standard of our foundation higher with the introduction of a great fleet of wonderful people into our midst. I spent time giving her the fine details of our new blogging system which would include lots of little news that would be necessary for everyone else to know. Yoko was welcoming to the Marine Foundation’s new year resolution and that alone makes up for lots of energy to shine upon our efforts to bring the ship to high seas and sail the world to new realms of achievements.

It would actually be difficult to understand the whole development strategy of the Marine Foundation unless hearing from me directly. But the website has bits of codes that can reveal a lots of its amazing secrets, if we do read between pages and lines. I suggest to meet all together at soon time so that at least members know how to post a message through their own pages. Our responsibility, in wanting to build a better world would be to at least put some thoughts into it. I really appreciate the involvement of those who try to somehow make the effort out of the busy schedule. It is not easy to for anyone and we all have our concerns. However, it does feel good to spend time together knowing that every word spoken could turn into a potential inspiration to build new program and set up better strategies to move the world around us into the right spin.

Immediate Follow up:

Trip to Liberia: Define if we will travel from Japan to Liberia in the occasion to meet President George Weah, also a football legend. I am presently preparing the presentation of our team to present to the Ministry of Sport before taking account of an appointment.
