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.

QTC Speech #8

8回目のSpeechにTry!
週末はイベントが続き、夜なべの突貫工事だったが、まずまずの出来栄え、満足！
Speechも今までとは比べものにならない、完璧、TM達もビックリしていた



Title: The Realization of Your Potential

If you want to achieve your greatest performance in sport or in business….
WHAT would you do?

In sports,
you should build your muscle by weight lifting.
Then you need to get your technical skills by practice.

In busines,
you should get knowledgeable yourself, such as in English.
Then you need to get your working skills by OJT.

There will be excellent results from your great performance.

However, besides this…
Your performance will be influenced by "your mind condition".

Please imagine an iceberg floating on the sea.
As for the visible part, you can understand its performance.
And the part under water, that you cannot see…..
that is your potentiality.

This potentiality will be greatly influenced by "your mind condition".
Your performance will be increased by your mind when you have motivation.
However, your performance will be shrunk by your mind when you are not confident and/or not concentrating.

Today, I will tell you the method that you can perform using your full potential power.

1. First, I will explain the condition of the human mind.
Unfortunately, your mind will be changed easily.

For instance,
It becomes small when you step on the doggy do on the way to the station in the morning.
Then it becomes smaller again when your boss talks a boring and long “his own story” at the office morning meeting.
After that it becomes very big when your client says “Thank you for your good job" in the early afternoon.
However, it becomes very small at once when your colleague complains to you just before you leave.

How would you feel in these situations?
Do you feel about the same?

2. Now, why do such various feelings happen to you?
It is because the factors in which you are made to cause these feelings exist.
There are "Environment", "Experience", and "Other people”

1) First, it is the environment.
For instance,
In soccer, your performance will be different when you play at home or away.
If you transfer to another department, you may achieve an excellent outcome or you may not.
It is because your mind will be changed by the environment.

2) Next, it is experience.
Someone might say “I'm a little blue from the morning”.
But it is not the same as it is now.
This is the human character that we carry the feelings from a past experience.

3) And others' influences.
People don’t exist like the big buddha.
They speak, they move, they do things together, and they touch.
Therefore, they absolutely influence you.

These three factors are never changed by you and it is not possible to control them by yourself.
In addition to that, you may be putting some meaning on top of it.
Then, you are taking an easy way out.
This is called “Excuse” (言い訳)

3. Let me give you a simple example.
You come to the station, and the train is waiting.
Just then, you tried to get into the train.
You are eye to eye with the conductor.
However the door has just closed and it started.
How would you feel?
That time, you might think like this. "Shit the train! It is a terrible day".

Another example
Before you play a tennis game, please imagine that the sun is blazing glaringly at you.
How would you feel?
That time, you might think like this. "Shit! That must be very tiring. It will become a hot game. “

You cannot stop the train and change the weather.
They can never be changed by you and it is not possible to control them by yourself.

Making excuses might certainly be easy to do.
So you blame the train or the weather as an excuse for your performance.

4. Now, I will tell you how you can motivate your mind to be big.

Another most important factor exists. It is "you".
The difference is caused by your mind, even if you have the same environment, same experience, and same others.

For example, the standard of tiring is different from your mind.
There is proof that you decide the size of your mind by yourself.

It is true that the environment, the experience, and others influence your mind.
They can never be changed by by yourself.

Therefore, you do not decide your mind by these factors.
You have to make your decisions by yourself.

This way of life is called “No Excuse!!”.

Which would you choose for your great life, Excuse or No Excuse？

QTC Speech #7

今回のObjectiveはReserch Your Topic
SpeechのpointやOpinionをより効果的にするためWebなどを活用した。
具体的には統計データや出来事や事実などをInternetで調べたり、
カタログを読んだり、うんちく博士のTNさんから聞いたりしてScripを作った。

Title：The most selling car in Japan

Do you know what is car that sells the most in Japan?
And I am not an employee of automobile company today.

It is ***** of ******.

Then numbers of its sales in this April are 35,546 units.
Even the car delivery in Japan is waiting during half a year.

However, why does ***** sell so much in Japan?
It is not in top 10 in the United States and Germany either.
Then, I will tell you about my opinion on ***** today.

I apologize first if you have a *****.
It is a personal opinion. Please do not worry.

1.First, I will explain what system is adopted on *****.
***** has a gasoline engine and an electric motor to move a car.
It is called HV system.
An electric motor will be used at low speed range.
A gasoline engine will be used at mid and high speed range.
As a result, fuel consumption is tremendous, 38km per a liter that was written on the catalog.
Because a large amount of gasoline is consumed by the acceleration at the low speed range.

2.Then, I will tell you the main points.
First, it is the realities of *****.
There is big gap on the fuel consumption between actual and catalog one.
The actual number is **km per a liter that I searched by Internet.
It is a difference of **km from catalog.

Why do you think occurs such a big gap.

An electric motor demonstrates the performance that is the merit in an urban area that repeats Stop & Go in short time.
It is likely to become the fuel consumption of 38km surely.
This is because the battery of an electric motor will be charged by repeat of Stop & Go in short time.
It is as a result of keeps using an electric motor at low-speed range.

This means HV is the best solution of the commuting congestion in the Japan city where there are a lot of traffic lights.


However, the battery that moves an electric motor will be dead on the going up road like the mountain path, and an electric motor and a battery become a just heavy weight.

It is possible to move only 2km that is maximum capacity in the performance of a current battery with one charge.

Moreover, fuel consumption doesn't improve in the expressway that is always at high speed range because it only uses a gasoline engine.

Therefore, fuel consumption will be changed greatly by the usage pattern for HV.
This is a cause of the difference between catalog and actual one.
However, ***** owners seem to be satisfied even at **km in word of mouth information on Internet.

3.Next, I think the point that is a price of HV.
There is a price difference of one million yen when you will select the hybrid vehicle from a normal one.
Even the person who drives well cannot counterbalance it for 5 years or more.

4. Finally my conclusion.
The bottom line is the HV doesn't match to its price.
I think that you should wait to buy the HV for a while after improvement of HV system.
Actually, various manufacturers are researching the battery.
The dreamlike HV might appear soon.


So, do you buy a HV now or not?

オマケ：以下は時間がなくカット
The first question still remains.
So, why does ****** sell the most in Japan now?

Following is what I assume.
I think that it is a point who is buying a *****.
It is a person who owned the large-sized car such as a Crown.
They transferred to a *****.

Their mind is:
The large-sized car is not driven easily.
The children already departed from our life, and it gets on two of us.
The contribution to society can be done.
The costs the gasoline and maintenance fee of Crown is high.
Show off the HV, and its newest technology!

I thought that they are forming the ***** freak.
Their segment is very large now at the time of keep increasing the number of senior citizens.
It was actually described that 57% of ***** buyers were 50 years old or more in the daily car newspaper on June 20.

This is why dose ****** sell the most in Japan now.

QTC Invocation

Contest後初めてのQTCに参加した！

今回ちょうど良くInvocationを担当した
内容はContestの感想を説明し、励ましてくれたQTCメンバーに感謝を伝えた
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you know I participated in the last TM Area Speech Contest.
Today I will tell you about my impression of my speech contest.

First, this is a secret. Can you keep it?
Okay, I contrived the domination of the TM world before the contest.
I realized that my ambition was disappeared below the horizon when contest was started, 残念！
(↑受けを狙ったものだが、QTCメンバーは真剣に受け止めて”しら～”となる）

I was not able to pass this area contest.
And I understand my ability of English.

However I learned some valuable lessons.

I had been particularly nervous while performing my speech.
My mind went blank once while performing my speech.
I think it is necessary to get a laugh from audience at the beginning of my speech in order to reduce pressure that I usually use it at my office.
The bottom line is I have to stop showing off.

Either way I was a complete defeat, even if I do my speech without mistakes.
The winners who 3 monsters, オットsorry, ladies had great skills that I couldn't imitate anything.
（↑Monstersは受けた、皆さんそう思っていたのかな？）

However, it was an interesting experience.
I concentrated my mind on speech contest from this January.
I had successively performed a speaker about 3 projects, 4, 5 and 6 to get the qualification for contest and practiced my speech contest.
I studied quite well, even if I do say so myself.
I was convinced if I try, I can do it.


Finally, I really appreciated your cooperation.
Your warm comments and help encouraged me to try it.

QTC International Speech Contest

I participated in the QTC Area Speech Contest.

Unfortunately, I was not able to pass this area contest.
I think the 3 winners had a great skills that I couldn't imitate anything.
It was a complete defeat.

However, it was an interesting experience.
I concentrated my mind on contest just 2 weeks during commute,lunch break and after work.
I studied quite well, even if I do say so myself.
I was convinced if I try, I can do it.

Finally, I appreciate my great friends showing up on such short notice.

Following is my speech : My Dream Come True
****************************************************
Do you have any dreams ?
I’m sure you have dreams in your heart.
Do you want your dreams to come true ?



I will tell you how one of my dreams came true for me,
because I know that a dream only comes true
when there is passion and determination behind it.

Let me share an inspiring story with you.
It’s about my friend, Matsuda-san.
He is a mountaineer.
He had a powerful vibrant dream to climb Mt. Everest.
But in 1992,
he was caught in a horrendous alpine accident in China.
From this accident,
he lost both his legs below the knee;
and he lost all his fingers.

Did that stop him?



No, he pushes on …
He never abandoned his dream to climb to the top of the world's highest mountain.
After he recovered, he started again in 1994.
He climbed a lesser mountain successfully in 1994.
Remember he is doing this with artificial legs.
He has climbed a lot of mountains since then.
Finally, he was ready to tackle Mt. Everest in 1995.
_______________________________________________

As for myself, I do not have such a magnificent dream.

My dream was to climb mountains,
starting with the Japan Alps.
I never guessed it would actually come true.
I thought it was a dangerous place… far from Hiroshima.

However, I found myself wanting to climb the Japan Alps more and more.
Then, I met Matsuda-san.



He has tremendous positive energy.
He has a strong forward-looking approach
that he backs up with effort.
He was buzzing with excitement for me.
He was very encouraging,
and in sharing, I felt his passion.
He got me feeling so confident and positive.

I was inspired and motivated !
I screamed in my mind…
” Yes, I want my dream! Yes, I can do it!”
When I think about my situation and what he has to go through
to reach his dream….
Anything is possible !!”.

Then I committed myself to making my dream come true.
I also realized that nothing can be achieved without effort.
It was time to take the first big step toward my dream.
_______________________________________________

I started climbing some mountains in western Japan with 2 of my mountain buddies,
to gain a great level of skills and knowledge.
Finally, we challenged climbing Mt. Turuji last June.
It took us 9 hours.
Although we came near to an alpine accident,
climbing Mt. Turugi was one of my most amazing and memorable experiences.

On that day, the weather forecast said 'cloudy with occasional showers'.
So, we had decided to walk.
But it was rain all day.
During the climb, our map got wet
and it was melting into nothing.
That caused us to lose one valuable hour of time.
Trying to makeup the lost time, we did not take a rest
and we ate only some junk-food like calorie mate bars.

My mind was not working properly but I continued to climb.
We almost lost our way.

I learned three valuable lessons from that day:
1.It is necessary to rest and take nutritious food once every hour.
2.It is important to have a map and look after it.
3.Lastly, consider the weather.
In the high mountains, the weather can change suddenly.
When the weather turns bad, when it rains, everything stops.
_____________________________________________________

Finally, last year, on October 8,
we made our debut on the Japan Alps.

How I had waited for that moment !!
The altitude was 3,190m.
That was my first experience at that altitude.
The scenery was spectacular !
I had never seen anything like it before.
It just didn’t seem to be in Japan.
It was like experiencing another world !

My first dream had been achieved.

I believe with all my heart that
‘dreams do come true’.
My next dream is to climb the European Alps,
Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Grandes jorasses and Eiger
These are the mountains I want to see, to climb, to conquer.

To do this,
I need to practice and climb the Japan Alps many more times
to build up my skills and experience.

Now, I urge you to try hard to achieve your dreams.
Go after your dreams with passion !
…because you will find meaning and fulfillment in your life.
