1. What did you learn about yourself from this year 2018?
I've learned about Japan and I'm Japanese strongly by reading books, studying English, and working hard from this year 2018.
It includes good things and bad things. Good things are that in Japan, I can be a businesswoman, continue to work hard and continue to study English. Bad things are that problems of Japan are piling up every day and Japanese people have to think about political issues.
2. Which relationship meant the most to you this year and why?
I think that the relationship with books is very important for me because there are much fake news and individual comments on the internet and the media but it leads people astray. We have to read many kinds of books to learn more than using the internet and the media because people who read books are now decreasing.
3. What was one of the biggest challenges you faced this year and how did you handle it?
Not giving up and continuing working are the biggest challenges for me who is not young and pretty. In Japan, women have faced many challenges because of only that. The way handling is to keep a low profile.
keep a low profile / do not stand out
4. What was one of your proudest moments from this year and why?
My proudest moments from this year is that people become happy with our company's products. It's because we have those products, however, in the world, more products, and stuff are said not to be needed.
5. What was one of the most meaningful compliments you received this year? Why was it so meaningful to you?
Of course, customers compliment us is the most meaningful because it gives us the power to work.
6. What did you do for fun this year? What was one of your favorite memories?
Without thinking about anything, working, eating, and sleeping, reading TED talks and books is the sweetest thing for me. And then updating my blog is my favorite thing and this year too, I'm going to write 258 blog articles. It’s the same as last year, I've thought that l could write in an earlier time, though.
7. If you could change one thing from this year, what would you change and why?
I wanted to use English more for going out. I try it next year, in fact, l sometimes guided foreigners to a destination in English. I thought that I could ask them other things more than I thought thus I try talking with them more next year. I can do it!
By the way, the thing that I wanted to change last year has been the following and I could do it, I just saw it, though.
"I want to read Japanese books more. This year, I always read TED talks".
8. What was the most meaningful thing someone did for you this year?
A person said to me, "Existing a very small company and having a job are wonderful in Japan". It's the most meaningful thing for me.
9. If you were to brag about one of your accomplishments from this year, which one would it be and why?
Although I don't have something to brag, continuing to work and study English would be deserved to be bragged about.
brag / big talk, tall tale
10. Given all your experiences, insights, and lessons learned from 2018, what's the best advice you could give yourself for 2019?
Existing and running my company is great. Don't worry, I can do it next year too.
