Don Tapscott 1: Four principles for the open world

TEDGlobal 2012
Don Tapscott: Four principles for the open world (script)
Summary
The technology revolution is opening our world.
Openness has a number of different meanings, and there are corresponding principles for the transformation of civilization.
They are about collaboration, transparency, sharing, and empowerment. They really worked for the institution of the Industrial Age. Our world dramatically changed.
However, it' s passed but it started failing.
Openness should be used to birth consciousness on a global basis and we have to attack some big problems in the world. Openness gives us empowerment and freedom.
We have to think about what happens in the world and we can do this if we can connect ourselves beyond just not only sharing information and knowledge but also beyond an individual, a group, and a team.
Words in this story
transparency / clearness, clarity
corresponding /  matching, answering, coming under
transformation / change, alteration

Richard Branson: Life at 30,000 feet

TED2007
Richard Branson: Life at 30,000 feet (script)
Summary
Richard Branson is one of the most successful industrialists in the world and he is a multimillionaire.
Although he and his companies failed a lot, he said that the most important thing for growing big companies is to have a lot of fun and to turn the status quo upside down. It means to do something differently and to go and to shake up other industries. Then they can't be back in the market.
Only you have to move forward even if you are told that you are crazy. He didn't have a choice but he had to protect the jobs of the people who worked for his company. No one can't know your success because there is a very thin dividing line between success and failure.
When he was young, he learned that you can really run any companies if you can run one company.
In fact, Chris Anderson thought that business people were supposed to just be ruthless and it was the only way to succeed.
Chris is now an owner of TED though before he was an industrialist but he gave it up because he thought that and he struggled in his business.
However, Richard Branson answered that the best way to becoming a successful business leader is dealing with people fairly and well. He has done it and he said, " I'll be in a person to radically change other people's lives for the better and l want to feel that l' ve made a difference to other people's lives when l' m on my deathbed".
His story gave us inspiration and that's right, it would change our lives. He is still full of energy.

Yuval Noah Harari: What explains the rise of humans?

TEDGlobalLondon 2015
Yuval Noah Harari: What explains the rise of humans? (script)
Summary
This was quite a shocking talk for me though I've understood why Japanese people think that Some Japan is not a good country.
It is because a state and a nation are not objective realities. This is just a story that people have invented and become extremely attached to. I like that the speaker says what he wants to say clearly because Japanese people don't do that.
The story comes from the difference between the ability of humans and all other animals, and this is the reason for the rise of humans.
The different ability between humans and all other animals is on the collective level that only humans have. It maks humans flexibly cooperate with each other in very large numbers. All other animals cannot do in a sudden new opportunity or in a new danger, and they cannot reinvent social system overnight. Even if some animals can flexibly cooperate, they do only in small numbers.
The reason why only humans can do it is their imagination. Thus, they can flexibly cooperate with countless number of strangers but they can create and believe fictional stories. That's why they obey and follow the same rules, norms, and values. This mechanism creates human rights, our state and nations, and money. In fact, these are just fictional stories that humans have invented. In history, this fictional reality became more and more powerful and humans control the world now. This is the rise of humans. The rise is the noun and it means that the process of becoming very famous, powerful, or popular.
Then the fictional reality seems to lead us to dividing the rich and the poor now. It's never said a good thing but the power will become stronger and stronger.
I think that current Japanese stories are seen
only governments to get a benefit. In the world, we can have a better imagination because we have an ability of that collective level.

Rory Vaden: How To Multiply Your Time

TEDxDouglasville 2015
Rory Vaden: How To Multiply Your Time (script)
Summary
To multiply your time is not to make severe or tight time management. You always think about doing something with speed or efficiency. It is wrong.
First, you have to decide on your priority. Then you will do your tasks which are in descending order of your priorities, is also not wrong.
You have to change your mindset from how many things you can do today, to what you should do today.
For multiplying your time, you should eliminate, automate, delegate and even procrastinate your tasks more.
Intentionally procrastinating is deciding when you do something at right time.
Whit those tasks, self-management is more important than your to-do list or your calendar. You multiply your time by giving yourself the emotional permission to spend time on things today, that create more time for you tomorrow.

Words in this story
logical / sequence, logical fallacy
paradigm / model, pattern, example
efficiency/noun
mediocrity /noun/ the quality or state of being mediocre. average, ordinary ability, banality.
Tasks
1. Eliminate- not to do it
2.Automate- have a machine/application/robot do it for you
3. Delegate- let someone do it for you( task organization)
4. Procrastinate-postpone a task for now

     

Tokyo, I am always here. 10) The Yamanote line

Yamanote line

Lastly, I'll tell you that you can go to those places I introduced by the Yamanote Line. It is a very convenient railway loop line in Tokyo. In the rail map, the Yamanote line is always shown the green color. 

Surprisingly, it's connecting almost of the stations I introduced,  including Shinjuku, Ueno, Akihabara, and Shinbashi. You can walk from Shinbashi to Ginza and by transferring at Shinagawa station, you can go to Haneda. By metro (subway) from Ueno station, you can also go to Asakusa. 

The Yamanote Line is a loop railway in Tokyo, thus you can't go out off Tokyo. You can come back at your station anytime.  It takes about one hour a turn on the Yamanote line. 

There is a special ticket: Day Pass, and I think using Suica is also fun. 

Let's enjoy Tokyo.

                           

Tokyo, I am always here. 9) my favorite cafes

                             

Doutor coffee

And then, I want to introduce my favorite cafes I often go.  I sometimes skip my work and study English in there.  It's a secret.
1) Doutor coffee
I like Doutor coffee the most. It is because the price is relatively cheap and how to order is easy.
In Japan, there are a lot of cafes and the most famous cafe is Starbucks which your country also has. However, it is super expensive, it is crowded always and I don't know how to order in there.
 I can be persistently in Doutor coffee for a long time with a little order but it is not pleased with shops.
2) Mister Donut
Mister Donut is also famous in the world. However, I think that donuts eaten in Japan are not sweeter than other countries have. It means a natural and slightly sweetness.
 Donuts other countries sell are too sweet to eat though you can eat limitlessly in Japan because of it.
3) McDonald's
Although around the world, there are a lot of McDonald's, I think that Japanese one is more delicious but they are small. You can see Japanese food is delicately made there also.　

Tokyo, I am always here. 8) Asakusa

Tokyo Skytree                                      

Asakusa

You can feel and see in Asakusa that Japan is really combined traditional and modern culture. The modern building is Tokyo Skytree that is the tallest tower in the world and the traditional building is Senso-ji that is one of the oldest temples in Tokyo. There is a famous gate that ultimately leads to the Senso-ji there. The gate hangs a big red lantern that is written "Kaminarimon"  in Kanji characters, thus it is called Kaminarimon. In fact, Mon means a gate and Kaminari means a thunder.  This is the very famous place as taking pictures, however, I think that you must take one more picture at opposite side of Kaminarimon. On the back of lantern is written different Kanji characters " Fujin Raijin ".  Only a few Japanese people know it. Incidentally, " Fujin Raijin " means the wind God and the thunder God.
In Asakusa, there is a shop which also sells our company's products called "fancy shop." In Japan, fancy goods mean to be designed for their interest rather than practical use.
