My boss decided to move on from our company. I miss her. She told me. She is now about forty. She has been thinking about how long she will be able to work from now and doesn't know. So she feels like doing her best now and has decided to move. Ummmmm, I'm convinced.
I thought about myself. It's not for me now, though. First, I think I'll always complain wherever I am. But I know no places is perfect. The only thing I have to do is to try to do my best wherever I am. Second, in Japan if you move too much, people think you're unreliable. It's not good for your career. I know it's the opposite in the U.S. People think you have got a lot of different experiences, which is good for your career. Third, it's kind of a waste of time, because if I move to another place, it'll take time to get used to it. More importantly, I'm happy now with the people around me. I respect them. And I have a lot of things to do and I can't just leave.
I'm saying this, but I imagine I might do the same thing when I'm at her age. Because I think we human beings end up thinking in similar ways and struggling in similar places. So I take to heart what people older than me say since it's really important and precious to me.
Thanks for reading.
