One of my favorite books ever written by Dr Ken’ichi Omae is 「やりたいことは全部やれ!」 (“Whatever You Want to Do, Do Them All!”) In his book, he also stressed, “Whatever you want to do, do it now. Don’t wait”.

I regret I did not join his Mountaineering Club. (I joined the Chamber Music Club.) I wish he were my homeroom teacher. In the Geoscience class,…

I just found it. Current AI acts like my 14-year-old ASD boy. He would never say what he wants to do. I have to ask him what he wants, and then he says yes or no. If the answer is no, I repeat the process until I get a “Yes.” He is smarter than I.…
