Title: Thank you
Let me test your memory!!
Do you remember what I said in my 8th speech?
I talked about how you can make your mind energetic.

So now, …Are you all energetically making your life happy ?
Of course, I am doing that.
I am energetically enjoying my life!

As I said before, it is all about "you". “Yourself”.
The key factor is "you".
It is “you”, who can make your mind become energetic.
In other words, you have to make the decision by yourself to make your mind energetic.
Well then, how do you make your decisions by yourself to effect your mind?
It’s simple.
You have to get your mind into a good mood.
There are two methods.
The first method is to use the 5 elements.
Your thinking, your face, your attitude, your words, and your action will influence your mind.

According to medical research,
your face is not influenced by your mind’s condition.
Rather, it is opposite.
Your mind is influenced by your face.
The other elements also affect your mind in the same way.

The question is,
“how” can you get your mind into a good mood?
The answer is whether your mind is positive, or not.
It is decided by you.
So you can just use positive thinking, positive face, positive attitude, positive words, and positive action .

For example, when difficult situations happen,
what words do you use to keep your mind’s condition?

Please remember Kitajima who is a great swimmer.
He said “ちょー気持ちいい”, didn’t he?

These are positive words. You can choose to say words like “no problem”, too.

It is decided by you and it is not decided by the situation.
Other Positive elements are also decided by you.
Can you do it?

Now, the second method to get your mind into a good mood is
to change your thinking from “receive” to “give”.

I think most people are crazier about “receiving” than “giving”.
Anyone will be in a good mood when they receive something.
However, they will realize that their mind will eventually become negative,
because they will want more or feel it’s not enough.
This is because the other person decides whether to give you something, or not.
It is not decided by you. It is dependent on the other person.

Please think about how happy you will be to receive a present.
And now, think about how happy you will be to give a present to someone?
Don’t you feel happy when you make someone happy?
It is because giving will energize your mind.

Wouldn’t you feel good if you could see your children’s happy faces when you take them to Disneyland even when you were very busy with work?
You would feel happy even if you got exhausted and money was spent.

Then, what should you give?
It should neither be a thing nor money.

Although you might feel good when you give them, it is a lonely feeling.
Also, your house and your purse might become empty. (laugh!!)

You should give your energy to someone’s mind.
And you can decide, by yourself,
whether you will give someone your energy, or not.
.
That miracle energy is Respectful mind, Cheerful mind, Appreciative mind.
And appreciative mind is the most important for your mind’s condition.

We originally live to wish for appreciation from someone.
So, you will become energetic if you are appreciated by someone.
However, how does your mind become appreciative when you appreciate someone?
I think your energy in your mind will be affected when you appreciate someone.

Saying “thank you” is the essential source that brings great energy and high performance to you.

However, we normally decide whether to appreciate someone, or not, by someone’s reaction.
You should not fluctuate between hope and despair from other’s reaction.
It is absolutely essential that you have an "appreciative mind" for your own good.
You should choose to "Give" in your daily life, for you, for yourself.

Recently, the value of this "appreciative mind" is proven in the sport world.
Do you know the great athlete who has an "appreciative mind"?
She is the marathon runner, Naoko Takahashi.
She seems to have been running in appreciation for being able to run in the full marathon.
And she appreciated the people on the sidewalk!
Furthermore, by about 30 kilos into the marathon, she appreciated even the rival who was competing against her.

If it was me, I will think "I will absolutely defeat you".
However, do you know what this will do?
It will not only strain your body and your muscles will become hard,
but it will also decrease your performance,
because your peripheral vessel 末梢血管 will shrink and the supply of oxygen will worsen.

However, Q chan was different.
She could improve and keep her energetic performance by appreciating others, even to competitors.
Of course, she didn't think that she may be defeated.
She definitely wanted to win by appreciating others even to competitors.

Finally, I believe people who can say “thank you”, will receive thank you from others.
And I believe the life that says “thank you”; you will create happy life that will receive thank you in life.

I hope you will decide to have the mind of "Thank you" for you!

Thank you very much TMs
This is 10th speech.
I really appreciate your kind support.
Thank you again for my 10th speech.

QTC Speech #9

内燃機関とHVの比較によるSKYACTIVの凄さを紹介。

Title: SKYACTIV

Do you sometimes think about getting a new car?
Does your car get terrible gas mileage?
or,
Is it a hopelessly old model?

Why don’t you go ahead and get a new car?
……one with all the latest technology.

Maybe you have seen a lot of new models on the street or on TV.
There are many types of new cars.
Recently, eco-friendly cars stand out,
cars such as EV (the electric vehicle) and HV (the Hybrid vehicle).

288579_convert_20110314212916.jpg

What type of car do you prefer if you want to buy one ?
I would suggest a car with a normal gasoline engine.

Why would I suggest that?
I will tell you the reason today.

After the automobile was born 120 years ago, the car technology has evolved rapidly.
People say the gasoline engine is difficult to improve any more.
And, the EV and HV were considered to be breakthroughs in technology.

However, at present, EV, the electric car, is not practicable.
Please look at this.

The price is high. The mileage is short.
It takes time to charge the battery.
The size of the car is small.
It will need further evolution to make it popular.
It will take over ten years.

However, HV, the hybrid car, is more practicable compared to EV.
An electric motor will be mainly used at low speed range.
An engine will be mainly used at mid and high speed range.
As a result, the mileage is tremendous.
Since a large amount of gasoline is consumed by the acceleration at the low speed range.
It is a perfect car for Japan that has a lot of traffic signals and congestion.

However, please think about this…
If fuel economy is improved, the fun of driving will deteriorate to the contrary. 
This is common sense.
HV is also the same as this.

So, I think you might be overestimating the HV?

I will give you a simple example.
The HV has a motor with unique battery in addition to an engine.
For this, the car is heavier, space is sacrificed, and the price increases.

Let me explain the differences between the HV model and the engine model for example.
Please look at this.

The vehicle weight, increases by *** kg.
This is two times the weight of a man.

And the capacity of the luggage area ** L is sacrificed.
This is equal to ** 2L bottles.

As you can see,
the price increases by ***,*** yen,
while, the fuel economy is improved *.* km/L.
But, just by simply calculation,
you cannot recover this price difference,
even after driving the car for ten years!!

Though I've only been bashing the HV,
it's true that the fuel economy is improved.

The point is this:
Which do you expect…
only the fuel economy or the various enjoyments of your car?
The car is a high price product.

Don’t you want to buy a satisfying car?

Now, I will introduce the great car today.
I think it will exceed your expectation.
You can enjoy the driving performance and you don't need to worry about fuel cost.

It is TNP 30 as same as HV with great performance.
It will be planed to release in the first half of this year.
I'm amazed.

a1ad17d7_convert_20110314212643.jpg

That is a gasoline engine car and doesn't have the motor with the unique battery.
It is the next-generation engine that has been greatly improved the performance.

The point is this…
There are two things.
More powerful energy should be extracted from the fuel of a certain amount to the utmost limit.
And, the extracted energy should be brought to the tires without any loss.

However, these are very difficult things to do.
Simply put,
Please look at this.

70 percent of the generated energy by the engine is lost by various factors.
If you put 1000 yen of gasoline in your car, your car will lose 700 yen of gasoline.

The Engineers have investigated the cause of this 70 percent lost energy
that was impossible to improve until now.
They have strived perseveringly to solve this problem.
Finally, they have achieved a breakthrough innovation.

It has improved fuel economy and driving performance by innovating the engine itself!

Now, next time you want a new car…
what kind of car would you want to buy?

QTC Invocation2

QTCでInvocationを担当。
MBZが講義を受けたメンタルトレーニングの一部を紹介した。

I will tell you about an interesting story of the mental training.
Do you know, what is the royal road of positive thinking?

It is now.

If you do something, you have three alternatives.
That is the present, the past, and the future.
You can choose the best one from them freely when you do something.
In fact, most people choose the past or the future.

If you choose the past, you are always thinking the past experience.
For example, you are taking a test.
Unfortunately, that is your weakest subject.
That time your mind is filled with something like this.
“I should have studied a little more.”

However you never change your past.
If you think about the past more and more, you will become a negative thinker rapidly.

Do you know Ichiro.
He is a baseball player and a great positive thinker.
A media asked him,” It was the worst game yesterday, wasn’t it."
to bring him to the past more and more.
Ichiro doesn't get on such a lead easily.
He might say in simple words “who cares”.
Then he often said“I will try my best that I should be done now."
This means he always selected the present to lead a positive thinking.

On the other hand, we also often select the future.
For example,
You are a member of Samurai Japan.
Before you play a soccer game, you might often think
if we lose a game what should I do.
However you never know your future.

If you think about the future more and more, you will be raised your concerns
and you will become a negative thinker.

Now how Ichiro is doing?
A media asked him that “can you achieve over 200 hits next year?”
to bring him to the future more and more.

Even Ichiro never knows in his future.
Ichiro doesn't get on such a lead easily.
He might say in simple words “who cares”.

Then he often said like that “I will try my best that I should be done now.

So you should develop a habit to select the present.

I think everyone has heard that it is important to live in the present.
And you can say it.
But it wasn't enough to develop a habit to select the present.

You must always asked yourself like that,
"I live in present." “The time is now.”” Now for it. “
So that you can develop the royal road of positive thinking in your mind.

Of course, it is also important to think the past and the future.
That is improved the quality of present.
And there are necessary to clarify what should be done now.

However, there are never making anything for you.

It is possible to execute only now.
It is possible to change only now.

The QTC Best Speaker Award

I won the 2010CY Best Speaker Award on the QTC 3rd anniversary party.
I was so surprised when I won it, because I did not entirely have any expectation.
I think it was to be able to do by QTC members' cooperation.
Thank you very much for your kind support.
