Cherry blossom or Dandelion
Confrontation so disturbed the Japanese that they oftentimes took the complacent* path rather than risk antagonizing others* and this looks like a subdued cherry blossom (Sakura). Few people as intrepid as Takafumi Horie would have attempted a business challenge so many before he had failed and been bankrupted. In some cases, though abstruse/obscure* and inarticulate strategies are proposed, his vision is always logical and laconic. Everyone was surprised at his audacity and incessant hubbubs. ?* His venture company tried to bail out and TOB one of the biggest companies, Livedoor and it succeeded. Even after earning billions, his desire for more wealth proved insatiable so he is assiduous in merging more companies and engrossed in renovating razed companies. His* works were so salutary to the employment rate and economy in Japan that it disseminate an effervescent atmosphere to Japanese venture companies. However, he was indicted on swindling charges because he made his fortune with a fraudulent scheme. His reputation incrementally debased and he was arrested. This brings to my mind that cherry blossoms are treasured by the Japanese as much for their beauty as for their ephemeral nature. In some years, when he *came back from the jail, he resurrected himself*. To me, *He is a dandelion rather than a cherry blossom. He started to run a new rocket business and will burgeon against the odds soon.*** A good piece. But please watch the tenses and sentence structure. Sometimes bombastic words backfire. Simplicity is preferable.

I have been observing people for a long time. Before I only observed the people only from my own country.Then I began to observe people from all over the world. I noticed that most people are unsatisfied, they like to complain and most are unhappy. Why? What is the main problem? Today I read a short text about it. I like it and I tried to translate a part of it into English. I also learned some new words from the text.
The humans have learned to earn money, to buy beautiful and unnecessary things, to spend (or while away) time, to dissemble ( I am not sure what you mean), to eat fast food, to wear what they want, to drink, to smoke, to talk about nonsense, to forget, to lie, to keep pets, to be lucky or to be loser, not fulfilling promises etc. But the main problem is they have forgotten (how) to love.GOOD JOB.

The following statements summarize a part of Dr. Jang's book(*). Would you correct it? Thank you in advance.
The famous Adam Smith said, (beautiful) market system comes from the selfishness of human nature. However, Dr. Chang stresses that selfishness is a bad human nature (trait) and along with other bad natures (traits), it distorts the market system. So, he asserts that the government must intervene to remedy the distortion.
However, I think the role of the government should be restricted to making the relevant rules of the market. Some of the interventions or regulations are not desirable as I mentioned in Economic Debate(1).

I have a pet. It's a Himalayan Persian cat with red points(?) and blue eyes.
Although he is a kitty, he is pretty independent and smart. Every day he wakes me up at 5:30 am.Good job, Alan. I clumped the two qualities of the cat together so that they are not fragmented.
I am not sure what you meant by red points.....did you mean red spots on the body?
Do you know for sure that it's a male cat? Otherwise you can use 'it' to describe it.

Before I loved someone, I thought there was no difference in the "love" that the men have shown me.
One day when I walked with a man, I saw the blue sky and clouds like a beautiful carpet.. I said to him "Look! Isn't it beautiful?" But he didn't say anything and just kept walking.
Next day I asked him why he didn't respond at that time. He answered "Because I didn't feel that was beautiful. Just a normal sky." I couldn't understood what he was talking about and said "It is not important whether the sky was actually beautiful. The point is that I felt the sky was beautiful just because you were next to me. Isn't it special?" He seemed not to be able to understand what I said.
After that I suddenly remembered another man. When I said something was beautiful (I forgot what that was), he responded: "The beautiful stuff is the beauty in your heart that makes everything beautiful."
「美しいものを美しいと感じるあなたのこころが美しい」
I still often remember him when I think about "love".0 votedAugust 12, 20162
