Is this Bucket Full?

Today, a professor wants to give a quiz to his students. He has already prepared a bucket and a sack of stones. Afterward he demonstrates to his students that he fills the bucket with his stones. Next he confirms that no stone can fill this bucket again. Then he asks to his students, "Is this bucket full?"

"Yes!" some of his students answer it.

The professor smiles. He takes out a sack of gravels, smaller stones than before. Afterward, he fills the same bucket with these gravels until no gravel can fill in this bucket. Then he asks to his students, "Is this bucket full?"

Their students think a while. "May be no," a student answers.

Hm, professor takes out a sack of sand. Afterward, he fills this bucket with a lot of sand. He shakes the bucket and fills in again with sand until the sand overflow. Then he asks again to his students, "Is this bucket full?"

All of their students answer, "No!"

"Good!" Then professor brings water and pour it into the bucket. He shakes the bucket again and pours water into it again until the water overflow.

"Can anybody tell us what we can get from this illustration?" professor says.

"We can get much more thing if we have an effort for them."

"Hm, it can be that. But that I mean is about how we face our problem."

If we too much argue with more little thing, all we get are just those little think too. Imagine we fill up this bucket with sand before fill it with stone. Of course we can't fill that sand bucket with stone anymore. It applies in our live. We must define what the big stone that we can take and put it in our bucket of live. In other words, we can little by little throw up some tiny things and replace them with the bigger things which are more useful. Right?

Kimagure Romantic

It is "Celeb to Binbo Taro" ending theme. This comedy drama was played by Aya Ueto and Kamiji Yusuke. It seems not enough site that show this interesting lyric. So, I try to write them down here. I get this from avi subtitle that uploaded in d-addicts forum. So, enjoy it and feel the spirit :)


Kimagure Romantic (Capricious Romantic)
Ikimonogakari
Romanization and Translation: momoflower
--------------------------------------------
Romantic koi no antena wa
arashi de dokoka e tondeitta
Uso deshou tsumetaku ashiratta
Koshaku na ekubo ni chotto kokoro ga yureteru
Romantic, the antenna of love
flew away somewhere in the storm
It can't be true You didn't give me the time of day
My heart is a little shaken by your saucy dimples

Honto wa honki de atashi wo
shikattekureru daiji na hito
Nante ittara aitsu wa tokuige ni naru kara
Mou hometari shinai
An important person
who actually seriously scolds me
Because it seems he'll be all proud when I say that
I won't praise him anymore

Taikutsu na unmei ni akiaki shita no
Shiranai kotoba de tokihanashite ne
I've gotten fed up with a boring fate
Free me from that with words I don't understand

Darlin' darlin' kokoro no tobira wo kowashite yo
Taisetu na koto wa me wo mite itte
Anata to naraba kono machi wo nukedaseru
Imasugu tsuredashite my sweet sweet darlin'
Darlin' darlin' break down the door to my heart
Look at me and tell me what's important
If I'm with you we can slip out of this town
Lead me out right now my sweet sweet darlin'

Behind The Dart Game

This evening, I played Dart, a dexterity game with my friends in office yard. I ever play it however I can't play it well, so do all my friends. We were grouped in 2 teams. Everyone had 1 chance to try his/her first shoot and 3 chances to shoot and get point each turn. There are 2 turns in this game. However, he/she could give his/her chance to another player if he/she thought he/she could not shoot well and another player could. The winner is the group that collects the higher point.

This game was very exciting. Although we could shoot we could give our chance to another team member that could shoot better, their curiosity overcame this. Myself, I just gave one chance to my friend after my second failure in second turn. Finally, I just gave 1 point to my group which got 22 points total and won this game \(^.^)/

After finishing this game, the host gave us some lesson learn. Dart is both an individual building and team building game. First, curiosity can enhance our motivation. With curiosity, we can try and try again over our failure. But in a team, we should concern to another competence. If they can do it better we should give up in this part. We should give our chance to them for the sake of the team. So, it is our time to share.

Wake up, stand up, how many failure we got, get up and try again!
