what motivates ppl?

Thinking about which group solve the problem "quicker", I think group B is the one.

It seems people could be more motivated when they have something to get when they finish the work. However, I just came up with the idea of greed. I think that makes peoples mind messy. When they really need to concentrate on the problem, that might be affect to the people in some way and people would not be think smoothly. Because of that emotion, people might get rushed and get a wrong solution. On the other hand, people have nothing just think about the problems. there is no reason but only the curiosity for the answer and I think that curiosity makes people move. In addition, when no one get nothing when it is finish, there is no rank between them. Therefore, nobody feel fairer or too much pressure on them. I think making good atmosphere is the key to solve the problems.

The candle problem

hummmmmmm... BEATS ME!!!:(

i have no idea what is the answer. i thought i have to do something with the table but it was said i can only use a candle, some matches, and a box holding some thumbtacks so it seems not.
i need a clue anyway.

i think i would my work efficiently when i find what that works for. in other word, i don't feel like start it when i not really sure what it is for so the reason for the work is pretty important for me. Therefor, i think it has benefit to make some treats when i finish it. for example, what i usually do is making a plan for hanging out with my friends after i finish writing report or something. that small thing affects me so much (not always though).
in addition, i just can't feel satisfaction that much. when i finished something big, like school festival maybe i can feel it. however, it is rare. i think i do my work because i have something after that. in my opinion, that work is not the end. it is just a point that i pass.

Beyond the kitchen!

No Reservations in Vietnam!!
I chose Vietnam just because I have some Vietnamese friends. They took me a Vietnamese restrain someday and I like it. I had a beef pho, rice noodle and a sweet shaved ice as a dessert. I had it when I was in Australia but it was the first time for me to try that dish so I was kind of surprised. I tasted some kind of spices that I hadn't tried before. It was little bit spicy for me. However, I enjoyed the dinner very much with my friends. Although, I was not really sure it is the real Vietnamese food or not. I asked my friends then they answered me like " It is nice but not really what we call Vietnamese food."

When Anthony had the meal in the restraint, his friend asked him do you think you can make similar taste of dish or not. He said I think I can. However, he also said it is important to have atmosphere when you have exotic dishes. Even though you made the dish totally the same, it's not the same if you have it at ordinary dining room. I pretty much agree with the idea and I personally believe what lucking in the Vietnamese restrain was that atmosphere. I found it is interesting that cooking is not only in the kitchen but also spreed in many ways. Therefore, you have to care about how to decorate the table. It might be the key to make the nice meals.

Having long hair style

One of the biggest women's beauty is consisted by their hair style. Therefore, many of them are wondering what kind of hair style they try next (pretty much always for me.).

I think into pros and cons about having long hair style today.
first, you look feminine. I think once Eve, the first women in the bible has has long hair it is a symbol of women. It marks women's curvaceousness very much because when you have long hair you having a smooth silhouette at the same time.
However, you have to care your hair condition everyday. Also, when you dry it, it takes much longer time than short one.
On the other hand, you can enjoy arranging your hair. You can change your appearance only to tide your hair up. With that hair arrangement, you can show your sense of beauty.

Cultures in Japan

I like seeing how the world understand Japanese culture or people. I think Japan has an unique culture. I mean even though Japan is a developed country, some parts still have some sort of old atmosphere, many temples in Kyoto for example. Also, there is a very long history in Japan and many of that still not extinct. It not that big matter whether they notice it or not but Japanese have that thick background so that it might looks strange for non Japanese. In fact, I heard some foreigners often say Japanese are so polite and they don't know why.

There is another thing in Japanese culture, what we called high quality of sub-culture. Animation is one of biggest industries in Japan. On the other hand, not so many Japanese realize that importance. It needs is huge from specific people (otaku) and that otaku wave is now spreted around the world. Not only Japanese but also everyone who loves the culture enjoying it a lot.

These mixed cultures are very interesting for me.
In my opinion, Japanese are strange but I like it.

The World University

I agree with Mr.Fukushima on the point that he mentioned about young Japanese students are not interested in studying abroad. Because Japan is consisted on group society and they cherish people in their circle, it would create the strong bound between people in the grope. However, it also makes huge gap between the strangers who are living in outside of the circle.
Therefore, some Japanese hesitate to go abroad. They could feel isolated when there is no Japanese around them. In addition to that, they might struggle with the anxious feeling that they could lose the bound when they stay oversea for a long time and as everyone knows, it takes a long time to graduate university. So that it would be hard for Japanese students to study in that environment.

It might be not enough only studying in Japan to get highly education as he said but the Times higher education, English education magazine showed the world university ranking and Tokyo university had ranked in 30 on October 6th 2011. It is the best result in Asian countries. There are another four more Japanese universities in top 200 that Chinese university had got three.
Still, it has 29 more universities ranking higher than Tokyo university. It is better to go those place for the best education. It education is not that worth but seems have long way to go.

Finally, the world getting color of globalization and Japan, island country hasn't fitted in that very well. It might be because of that historical issues but there is higher percentage to be succeed when Japanese society get global. So that Japanese government should try to help for young students to studying abroad and have open mind to another countries.
