Sukikoso monono jyousu nare

I have talked with many foreign people, sometimes they remineded me of a Japanese ideom.
That is "好きこそものの上手なれ(Sukikoso monono jyouzu nare)". I cannot translate it well, so I found translated passage from web. Here is follow passage.



Your fondness helps improve your skill - who likes not his business, his business doesn't like him.



I think it's so suitable for people who learn languages.

The begining contents of yeaterday's lecture

  • Dareka ga itta koto wo shinjiruna. Hontouni iito omotta koto dake kyuusyuu siro
  • Honda deha , katagaki de yobareru hito ha 3ryu, namae de yobareru hito ha 2ryu, adanade yobareru hito ga 1ryu.
  • Watashi ha MBA ha kirai desu. Souiu hito ga bussiness school de oshie nakereba naranai to settoku sarete, ima oshiete imasu.
  • Watashi ha nagoya syusshin desu. Nagoya deha karada ga kurushii toki ni "erai" to iimasu. Ibatte iru hito no koto deha arimasen. "erai" toha souiu imidesu.
  • Honda no jyugyoin ga 30 nin to toki ni Soichiro ha mikan bako no uede "Sekai ichini naruzo" to sakende imashita. Honda niha 2ryu 3ryu no hito shika imasen deshita. Sonna Honda ga sekaiteki na kigyou ni nattanoha, UN deha arimasen.
Rinen Tetsugaku naki koudou (gijyutu) ha kyouki de ari,
koudou(gijyutu) naki rinen ha mukachi de aru.
Honda Soichiro


  • Don't beleave what someone said. Be assimilate you only thing you feel really good.
  • In Honda, third-rate people called by their title, second-rate people called by their name like "kobayashi-san", top-rate people called by their nickname like "Sabu-chan", Soichiro was oyassan.
  • I hate MBA, but I'd persuaded that such a man must teach at business school ,so I've taught now.
  • I came from from Nagoya. In that place, "erai(high position and great)" means that a body feels so heavy also. "erai(high position)" is not only a domineering attitude, "erai" has including that mean.
  • When Honda had only 30 employees, Soichiro shouted on a orange crate "We became the top of the world". All employees were 2nd-classes and 3rd-classes. Such a company become a great company, It's not LUCK.

Action without philosophy is a lethal weapon;
philosophy without action is worthless.
Soichiro Honda


Great national asset

一橋大学の小林教授が講演を、聞きに行きました。
教授のことを詳しくは知らなかったのですが、講演を聴いているうちに、日本の至宝なんだろうなと思いました。
教授は"エアバッグ”業界で有名な方です。トヨタや日産、Big3など世界中の車メーカーがエアバッグの開発を(開発に成功しないから)打ち切った時に、ホンダにいた彼と5人の開発者が世界で始めてエアバッグを実用化させたのです。研究が始まったのは約20年前でした。
教授の講演は本当に面白く、刺激的でした。次のポストでは、簡単な内容を書きたいです。


Hitosubashi daigaku no kobayashi kyoujyu ga kouen wo , kikini ikimashita.
kyoujyu no kotowo kuwashikuha shiranakatta nodesuga, kouenwo kiiteiru uchini nihonno shihou nandarouna to omoimashita.

Kenkyu ga hajimatta noha 20 nen mae deshita.
kyoujyu no kouen ha hontouni omoshiroku shigekiteki deshita. Tsugino post deha, kantan na naiyouwo kakitai desu.


I went to listen the lecture of Professor Kobayashi of Hitotsubashi Univ. I didn't know him details, but I had been thought he was being great Japanese asset.
He is famous a particular domain "car airbag". When every car companies of
all of the world had stoped to develop airbag, like Toyota, Nissan, and Big3, he and 5 workers had succeeded developing "airbag" at Honda. It' was about 20 years ago when his team started researching it.
I'm very very excited by his lecture. So I'll write brief contents of the lecture at a next post.

The buzzwords of 2008

Maitoshi 12gatu ni, ryukougo taishou ga happyou saremasu. Ryuukougo wo sugoku jyouzu ni setumei siteiru peji wo mitsuke mashita .GJ. "GJ" ha nihon no slang de Good Job no kotodesu. Onnnaji youni tukaimasuka?

Every December, The buzzwords of years have been announced in Japan.
I found a very good site that explains for all words. GJ. "Good Job" in Japanese slang , do you use same case?


Nanode, tokuni setumei suru hituyouha nainodesu. Demo kyouha, hitotsu no kotoba wo chotto hukaku setumei shitemimasu.

I needn't explain anything special. So today, I explain a word of them more deeply.


Sakkino site ha kou setumei shite imasu.

The site explain below.


“I am one of your works” (watashi wa anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu - 私もあなたの作品の一つです): Following the death of legendary manga artist Fujio Akatsuka on August 2, comedian and TV personality Tamori (a.k.a. Kazuyoshi Morita) delivered a eulogy, in which he said, “I am one of your multitude of works.” Akatsuka was instrumental in helping Tamori during his early years in show business.

kono bun ha takusan no watashi no shiranai kotobaga arimasu, watashi ha konnani jyozuni kakemasen.
This sentence has many words that I don't know, so I cannot write these good sentence :) .

kono bunsyou ha tadashii desu, watashi mo TV de kou kiki mashiwa "私もあなたの作品の一つです。”. romaji ni honyaku ni machigai ga arimasu "watashi wa anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu" . tadashikuha, "watashi *mo* anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu" desu. mo ha "Yoo too" no too to onaji imidesu. kono chigai wo setumei shimasu.

This sentence is correct, and I heard at TV "私もあなたの作品の一つです。”. but the sentence of translated romaji "watashi wa anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu" is wrong . By right, "watashi *mo* anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu". mo is too like "You too". I'd like to explain this change.


Fujio Akatsuka ha densetuteki na mangaka desu. kareno sakuhin ha hotondono nihonjin ga shitte imasu. mata tamori ha subete no nihonjin ga shitte iru hazudesu.
Fujio Akatsuka is legendary manga artist. Almost of Japanese know his works. And all of Japanese know Tamori.


sonnna tamori ga ittanodesu,
"I'm nothing more than one of your many other works".

So he said,
"I'm nothing more than one of your many other works".

I think so.



Motomoto, watashi ha tamori ga amari sukideha arimasen deshitaga. Demo kono supi-chi de kareheno kangaega kawarimasita.
Kareno subeteno supi-chi ha kokoni arimasuga, nagasugirushi mutukasi sugiruto omoimasu.
Kono hanashi ni kyoumi wo mottano nara, saigono ichi bun dake yomunoga iito omoimasu. Sorega ikano bubun desu. kono bubun ga supi-chi no core desu.

In fact, I didn't like Tamori. but I changed my thought for him by this speech.
All of his speech is here, but too long and too difficult.
If you are interested in this stroy, I suggest you read only last sentense. It's bellow. This is core of this speech.



「Watashi ha anata ni seizen osewani narinagara, hitokotomo oreiwo ittakotoga arimasen. Soreha nikushin ijyouno kankeidearu anatatono aidani, oreiwo iutokini tadayou taningyougina hunikiga tamaranakattanodesu. Anatamo onajikanngaeda toiukotowo, taninwo tuujite shirimasita. Sikasi, ima oreiwo iwasete itadakimasu. Akatuka sennsei, hontouni osewani narimashita. Arigatou gozaimashita. Watashiomo anatano ookno sakuhinno hitotsu desu.」
「私はあなたに生前お世話になりながら、一言もお礼を言ったことがありません。それは肉親以上の関係である あなたとの間に、お礼を言うときに漂う他人行儀な雰囲気がたまらなかったのです。あなたも同じ考えだということを、他人を通じて知りました。しかし、今お 礼を言わさせていただきます。赤塚先生、本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。私もあなたの数多くの作品の一つです。」

atode, karega motteita kaminiha nanimo kaiteinai kotoga wakarimasita.
At a later date, we know Tamori's paper that had no words.

see you! bye.
