昨日会社の先輩に聞いた。「マージャンてよくわかんないけど、勝つための運と実力ってどんな割合?」 先輩が間髪入れず「実力は2割」と、短く答えてくれた。 残った8割の運は、その2割の実力で引き込むんだそうだ。 たった2割だが、練習なのか、勉強なのか、戦術を考え、頭を使えば、莫大な「運」を引き込める、というのは堅い話、ビジネスも一緒だな・・・。
Yesterday, I asked one of the managers. "I don't really know about Marjang, but tell me, is winning all about luck, or skill?" He than replied instantly, "you only need 20% skill". He suggests that the 80% luck has to be grabbed using that 20% skill. That theory well fits with business strategy. Learn and study to enhance your "20% skill" so to win your business maximizing that 80% luck!

ホルモンスタジオ Hormone Stadium
マッチョ部長とマッチョ課長は何がお好きって、肉でしょ…。マッチョ課長とマッチョ部長を誘い、ホルモンへ。まぁ、マッチョ同士の会話は内容もマッチョ。筋肉のつけ方から肉の食い方まで相思相愛。しかし、このアミノ酸サワーなる酒には彼らも驚いたね。
What do Macho Director and Assistant Macho Manager like? Off course, MEAT. The way they eat and the way they train is naturally identical. But, neither of them expected this Amino-Acid Sour (Shochu with Amino-Acid)....

天使ちゃん My Little Angel
かわいい姫君が夕日の影に映る自分の足の影を見て気づいた。「私の足の長~い♬」 なんで、なんで!? って。 たぶん、上から見ると、胴のほうが長いんだろうな~。 でも、良い所に気づいたぞ!
Little cute girl came to realize how long her legs were looking at sun shine through her legs putting shadows on the beach. I guess, if we look at the shadow from above, body part looks longer, probably....
But, she has a great vision and recognition! That's my girl!

最近入社された第二営業部のHさんが、 総務のAさんと一生懸命プリンターを直していた。
Hさんは、総務のAさんに任して席に戻った。
総務のAさんは、 プリンターが直ったことを第一営業部のベテランYさんにプリンタ ーが直ったことを報告した。
ベテランYさんは、訳が判らなかったが、「あっ、ぁぁ~、 そうですか」と生返事した。
そう、ベテランYと新人H氏は、2人ともプリンターから出てきたほど似すぎてる。
Mr. H, who recently joined Sales Div. 2 and Mr. A, who has been with the Administration's office for quite a long time was fixing the printer.
Mr. A kindly offered Mr. H to get back to work while he fixes the machine.
Little after, Mr. A proudly reported Mr. Y from Sales Div. 1.
Although Mr. Y had no idea what Mr. A was talking about, Mr. Y acknowledged anyway leaving question marks in his mind.
it is true that Mr. H and Mr. Y look very much alike, almost like both came out of the copy machine....

スカイスクレーパー that Scrapes The Sky
やっと出てきた村。 何の小屋かわからないが、都市でも郊外でも落書きは大流行…。 しかし、この辺で空に刺さるのは大きな木か電柱だけ。 のどかでいいねぇ♬
Now sure what the little house behind the electric pole is for, but not only in cities, but in rural areas, graffiti is so popular. BTW, the only things that scrapes the sky is either a tall tree or electric poles....
果てしなく ALLlllLlLLLL The way
ドイツもフランスも、郊外のハイウェイも果てしないが、この景色がなんといっても果てしない…(2時間走ってもこんな感じ)。 この辺に住んでる人たちは、どこでお買いものするんだろうか!?
German and French high-ways stretches so long without a town.... I wonder where these people go shopping....

2nd 瓶 of Vin
かんぬき、鍵、ツッパリ、錠前、LOCK、ストッパー、ブレーキ。無くてはならないのに、ないほうが良いこと、人生。
そんな生き方ができる方々を尊敬します。僕もそんな生き方を改めて探そう。
Bolts, keys, prop, lock, stopper, brakes are essential equipment yet it is also words that hesitate life moving forward. I truly respect people who does not hesitate moving forward. I shall once again seek for what I can do.

壱仟円台で14.0%volもあるとしっかりして美味しい。親父曰く、参桁の値段でも、13.5%vol以上あるワインはイケル、と。
Wine that its alcohol percentage is 14.0% tastes good even its price is only early teens in dollars. Dad claims wine tasts decent if its alcohol % is over 13.5, even those it costs only $7.
And, he was right on this one!

The 12th of the 52 weekends ended with, cloudy and windy weather, but at least, I'm glad it wasn't raining. So, bringing my SLDCS, I quickly shot some Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) and went into Cafe de Clie.

昨日はランチを焼肉屋で、と決めて歩いていたら、その焼肉屋の兄さんが店の前で呼び込みを。元から行くつもりだったのに、「じゃぁ、呼ばれようか?」って入った。
Yesterday, we decided to have lunch at a Korean barbecue place. When we reached the restaurant, waiter was promoting 500 yen lunch to pedestrians. We than went in as if we weren't planning to, but because of his good catch we went in.

笑顔とサービスが素敵なお店。ランチではよくお世話になっているが、ものすごく控えめに我武者羅マスター。忙しくても笑顔は崩さず、にこにこしながら焦っているが、手際はいい。得意は魚。ちょっとした宴会で、リクエストした予算より1000円ぐらいサービスしてくれたのではないか?と思うほど華やかな食事を堪能した。ブィブィヤンさん、いつもご馳走様!
A restaurant that is run by an owner who never forget to smile although busy serving multiple guests, is one of the reasons visiting. Their special is Sashimi and when we had a small welcome party, they served more than we paid, well at least that is what I felt. I shall return ViviYan!

外食 Dining Out
変な話、商売は金じゃなく、「また来たいと思わせるところ」と思う4つの瞬間を鍋茶屋で。
- 店の雰囲気が落ち着いているところ。特に、たたずまいがしっかりしても華美にならないところ。
- 店の主が上品。特にしつこくなく、また過度にならないサービスと笑顔を持っている人。
- メインディッシュが割と少ないな、と思ったら、実はサイドディッシュのおいしさと一品多く来るところ。
- 当然ながら、味が濃すぎず弱すぎない上品でおいしいところ。
4 points when I feel that "business is not about money, but it is to strive to bring back people" at Nabe-Chaya.
- The atmosphere is comfortable, homey and not decorative too much.
- Refined owner does not leave customers alone, but also does not offer too much service.
- While I thought the portion on the main dish was small, starter and other side dishes were delicious and came a dish more than expected.
- Needless to say, "yummy"!
成長 Growth
道端の花はSUN SUNと日の光を浴びて大きく育ち、川向うの新東京タワーはコツコツと鉄骨をくべられて大きく育つ。
A flower grows strong bathing bright and warm sun shine, and the new Tokyo Tower grows strong and tall by jointing metal steel.

泡の入った、ごくシンプルな丸いガラスのランプ、ですね。あったかい。でも、何が好きって、日暮里を湯銭で燗にしてもらっている間にホタテの缶詰を田酒でちびりとやるのがサイコー。
A very simple lamp shade made out of glass with bubbles in. So warm. But, what is really great is to wait for Nippori to be Atsu-Kan (hot sake) drinking Den-Shu with scallop muscle on a side.

存在 Existence
都心の一等地を貫く国道をちょいと入った谷間。奥の民家はずいぶん細長く、長屋の雰囲気をかもしているが、手前の針線とコンクリに立つ鉄の杭の錆の深さ…。街が村だったことを創造させる。
An old house down in a place where used to be a ravine looks like it has been standing there for quite a life so as the spiked wire stripped on a concrete wall. There are things that stays, and tells.

地球規模の特売 GLOBAL DEGREE SALE
通りかかった下町の生地屋の軒先をなんとなくパチリ。ビーチグローブボールにSaieの文字。たぶんl(小文字のエル)にチョンと飾りをつけたんだろう。普通に読むと「せいぃぃぃ」みたいな感じ? と、女性もののコートのタグに目を移すとGap 1000円とあるが、これは「販売価格と通常の卸価格に驚きのギャップがあるよ」といいたいのかな?
In front of a local fabric store, a beach ball globe is hung with a sign that says "Saie".... Perhaps the writer wanted to write "Sale". But what is more surprising is the tag on the womans jacket. It says "Gap 1,000 yen". I suppose it means "We sell at a very low price that there is a globe size Gap between what you see at other stores!"....
