Lessons learnt from the talk: 1) You can change your habits by changing your environment first 2) Good habits slow in giving rewards, while bad/harmful habits give immediate rewards. Thus, to maintain good habits, we have to cultivate the immediate reward we could get from them, namely self esteem (you feel good about yourself because you accomplish to maintain the good habits). 3) The story of Mr. Kushima is an example of how one good habit triggered a chain reaction of other good habits which gave abundant rewards at the end (good health, new friends, even a better job!) Thank you, Sasaki-san and Japan Society🙏. I stumble across this talk when I need it the most. I've been living in a messy and dirty room and unable to finish my work properly. Never thought before that the two are cause and effect. I've been wondering whether I have a depression or just having a burnt out. However, I'll try lesson#1 to get me out of this situation. Once again, thank you🙏

I don't drink alcohol because I'm alcohol-sensitive. I passed out totally with just 2 mouthful of Guinness Stout beer LMAO I totally dislike the immediate heaty itchy generalized redden skin prickly sensation all over the body and flush heat to my head and start sweating awkwardly (I do suffer with some degree of dyshidrotic eczema, that's why I can't take the heatiness because it makes me feel so uncomfortable, brain fog and skin blisters in cases of dyshidrotic eczema could creep in so fast!)

Mr F Sasaki, why can’t you change your habits & start learning to speak english or put subtitles instead of translation (ain’t you wasting unnecessary time & resource?) Did you know that it takes twice the time to watch your interview? Learning english needs practice, you need to change your willpower to learn english? are you self-denial of learning? can you accomplish it?

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

You're being rude and selfish. Why don't you learn Japanese then if you want to listen to him more efficiently? Considering you're listening him for free anyway

[@kb_analytics]

Learning English has been something that Mr. Sasaki has been practicing since well before he wrote his first book. English is one of the hardest languages to learn since there are so many rules and just as many exceptions to said rules. He may not feel confident enough to carry on a conversation and get his thoughts across the in way he intends in English. Perhaps he is being considerate by giving a job to an interpreter. Perhaps he struggles with shyness and prefers the structured format of statement-interpretation-statement to conversing freely. There are simply too many variables in this scenario to assume that Mr. Sasaki is time wasting or refusing to learn English. Why not develop the habit of patience, and appreciate and consume the art in its unaltered form, as intended by the artist?

[@charlielinnell]

I'm afraid you don't have the whole picture. In fact, Mr. Sasaki isn't refusing to learn english, he actually mentions in the book that he studies english, but with that said, everyone doesn't want to know and speak english. i don't complain to people that they have to speak swedish. i think japanese is a beautiful language, i enjoyed listenining to him speaking and had some time to reflect more on his words because of this. ha de gött.

[@amamuffin]

Why don't YOU start learning Japanese?

[@simini1837]

I actually like the slow pace of this talk and thank Fumio Susaki for sharing his knowledge and experiences
