Can you find a bird in the photo?

To think about a combination of Japanese culture and its nature, Matuse is one of the best cities in Japan. Matsue Castle built in 1611 is very famous and beautiful. Of course I love the castle and houses around its area. Scene of Lake Shinji and bridges over River Oh-hashi connecting between Lake Shinji and Nakaumi beautifully stands out in sun set. I took the picture from Naniwa Honten restaurant facing River Oh-hashi. Can you find a bird in the photo?

Success Enjoyer's Principles


■1st Remember this Principle. Just write it down. Just pass it to your subconscious and make it happen. Just do it now. Make your move. Write it down is very powerful. Just believe, do it, and get the best results. From today. From just now. 
■2nd Let's make our move! Just do it NOW! Action is life. Life is action. 
■3rd Gratitude ∞  Each day starts with 'Thank you.', and ends also with 'Thank you.' It's OK to say 'Dan Dan' instead of 'Thank you' in Matsue. 
■4th Every defeat, every disappointment and every adversity carry seeds of success. Coming back is a seed of bucks. Open your notebook now, please. 
■5th Any time is never right. We ourselves have to make it right. Enough never comes to us. We come over to enough. 
■6th Failures are NEVER bad. The most important thing to success is to recover from setbacks quickly and keep going. 
■7th Always tell everybody, You did a good job! If you want to have a good working environment, if you want to let people know that they're appreciated, I think the first rule is if they are doing a good job, tell them. 
■8th Power of written words. Promises to yourself, not to others. Taking action. Commitment. Thoughts are simple. Thoughts are deep. Thoughts go all the way.

Visiting A College Campus

"YOUTH" Youth is not a time of life,it is a state of mind. 
It is a temper of the will,a quality of the imagination,a vigor of the emotions,a predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. 
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old only by deserting their ideals. 
Years wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. 
Worry,doubt,self-distrust,fear and despair-these are the long,long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. 
Whether seventy or sixteen,there is in every being’s heart love of wonder,the sweet amazement at the starts and the starlike things and thoughts,the undaunted challenge of events,the unfailing childlike appetite for what next,and the joy and the game of life. 
You are as young as your faith,as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence,as old as your fear, as young as your hope,as old as your despair. So long as your heart receives message of beauty,cheer,courage,grandeur and power from the earth,from man and from the infinite so long as you are young. 
When the wires are all down and all the central place of your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism,then you are grown old indeed and may God have mercy on your soul. ------Samuel Ullman------
