slumdog millionaire

That’s a stunning film!
It’s like city of god, which is a Brazilian film, but you can feel much happier after seeing it.
Although I’m not sure how real this film is, but you can see lives of some people are very hard and how lucky you are.
Sometimes seeing film makes me upset, because there are many people who struggle to live over there, but how is my life? It’s quite easy and nowhere near difficulty.
I might be just happy, and I should be satisfied.
In a sense, you cannot measure our happiness objectively. Anything might be unmeasurable.
The modern age is long gone, which had a “big story”, but I still can’t adjust the reality. I still want some objective answer for life. Personal feeling is much more important now. Thinking objectively is still important, but it’s not enough.

We need passion, feeling and emotion. Sometimes life suddenly becomes quite bright, but on the other hand, life also suddenly becomes dark.
Life could be perception.

meeting, meeting

We have a presentation this week, so in order to prepare for it we’ve been having a meeting and a meeting. Sometimes I feel my brain is too slow in English. I can’t understand something and make my opinion at the same time, but the other members can. Anyway it is a good exercise for me to think in English.
My bad habit is that I can’t feel motivation right before deadline whatever it is, but how can I change it? I usually try to take advantage of the tendency, but sometimes it’s too late. Making priority for my activity is very important. I should try it more systematically.

Recently I’ve been reading Clayton Christensen’s “Innovator’s Dilemma” and Ronald Norman’s “The invisible Computer”. The former is more theoretical, so maybe it’s easier to get the point, but the latter is more experiential and it also tries to include the theory of Geoffrey Moore’s “Crossing the chasm”, so some points are confusing.
