Today is International Red Cross Day in the world.
"To be what we are capable of becoming and to achieve what we are capable of achieving is the only end of life."
なりえる人物になって、達成できることを達成することが、人生の唯一の目的である。
Robert Louis Stevenson
Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer
1850-1894
Today is International Red Cross Day.  I was very active member of the Japanese Red Cross Volunteers in 1968 and went to Israel for Paralympics with two other members on this picture, Zushi and Tsunemi.
Tsunemi san is a graduate of Meiji University and started a jeans company of Edwin with two other people and became a multi-millionaire and successful apparel maker owner. I found helping "others" was the key
to his success in business.
I became a teacher and continue teaching in universities.  I think life is challenge and persistence.
Hope you all will have something you can continue in your life. My classmate, Dr. Ken Hsu, a surgeon,
said"Life is Learn, Earn and Return. For us, our stage in life today is return. Someday you, all, will return after learn and earn. Good Luck!
Tell us your plan or dream  in your future work after learning in universities.
