Birthday is the day to thank my mom for giving me a life, my family for making my life, and you all for shaping my life.
I feel good, fortunate and happy about how I have walked through the winding road of life with the people I love and respect. Though a few times, I hated or angered with some deeds of people around. It has the deep effects of making me broad- and open-minded. Thanks for that. I’ve learned the fact that a life is like food. If one like it, no matter how many others dislike it, it does not matter. We better just simply cook and flavor our life in the way we like as much as we can. And it is important still to have good friends like you to tell me if it has negative effects on health or not so that I can adjust. I have no regret and love my way of life with you and Japanese food, of course, because of its nature, genuineness and diversity. As I finish my PhD course and my veteran table tennis career has reached where I hoped, this year is going to be another turning point of my life to refocus on international collaboration and education of the youth.
I am going to Peru in August for 5 weeks and will revisit Bhutan as I am appointed as a vice-president of Japan- Bhutan Friendship Association. I’d like to revisit the places that shaped my life to thank you and give back whatever I have received in life to the youth.
Thanking you my friends and wishing you all for your health and happiness.
