Practice
Transcend
nationality, age and gender
I
made out this slogan when I was working for a UK company in Tokyo
when I was forty years old, for a year at that time the UK head
quarter sent a young English woman manager to Tokyo.
I
thought to be an international worker you have to be prepared for
this situation.
If
the fundamental discipline of the modern civilisation were freedom,
equality and fraternity, practicing of universalism is to transcend
nationality, age and gender.
At
first I didn't even notice that I was trying to practice was the
fundamentals of the modern civilisation.
There's
no concept of transcending in Japan.
Japanese
can practice none of the above even you don't need English to
practice the last two.
It
means it's asking you if you can work in Australia working as a house
hubby having twenty seven years younger Australian wife as bread
winner.
I've
learned so many things from my twenty seven years younger Australian
wife Jenene I met when I was just about to go broke financially while
I was still learning.
It
was timely I met Jenene as I was convinced at that time I didn't
have a skills for the economical activities and still I believe even
now there's no Japanese woman who could accept me as it were as one
individual.
I
still believe that it was a miracle and God sent her to me to have
someone I can devote myself to and told me if I can't make this girl
happy I would lose my whole life.
