The program challenges like-minded people to avoid any further degradation when they build. In fact, it asks participants to try to heal their sites as they create structures that exist in harmony with their surrounding ecosystems, inhabitants, and cultures. And if myopic building codes or manufacturing processes are limiting sustainable options, it requires the project team to advocate change.

I've covered the Japanese market. Now, let's move on the key success factors for oureproduct.

I think that Japanese people are not naturally takative. In particular, we often leave out explanations and reasons.

Yesterday, I was eating lunch with an American. While I was listening to her talk, I noticed that misunderstandings easily arose between my friend and her Japanese friends.

She gave me an example when she was kind of upset with a Japanese man, who is around 25 years old.

One day she was eating lunch with that man and some other friends in a restaurant. She kindly told them that she would drive them to their homes after lunch.

Just after leaving the restaurant, she wanted to smoke outside the restaurant before getting into her car. She pulled a cigarette out of her bag, and asked them to wait for a while.

The young man quickly said to her, "Don't smoke."

She took offense because she thought that he was rude.

Judging his behavior, I'm sure he was appeared blunt and rude. However, as I know what kind of person he is, I can guess why he said what he said; he was worried about her health.

Conversation among Japanese people (though I don't know whether it can properly be called conversation) is to offer up only a word or a short phrase, which often has tacit understanding. However, I think it might cause misunderstandings for people from different cultures, like the example above.

He should have explained why he did not want her to smoke.

That's what I thought after hearing her talk about her feelings. She simply took his word as a crass order toward an older lady.

Maybe you can understand her feelings, yes?

Chilean Miners Rescued 智利矿工获救

Mario Sepulveda embraces President Sebastian Pinera.
The eyes of the world are glued to the Atacama Desert in Chile as 33 trapped miners are finally being brought to the surface one by one.

Florencio Avalos was the first to be freed, at 0010 local time (0310 GMT). Chile's president, Sebastian Pinera, was on hand to hug Mr Avalos after he came to the surface.
"This country shows its true soul, shows what it is capable of, when we face adversity" the President said in an address. But he added: "This won't be over until all 33 are out."
There were further scenes of jubilation when Mario Sepulveda, the second miner to be rescued, reached the surface.
Mr Sepulveda emerged from the Phoenix rescue capsule smiling and seeming as fit as a fiddle. He had brought with him a bag of rocks from the bottom of the mine, which he started to hand out as mementoes. He then led a group of rescue workers in joyful chanting.
The engineers overseeing the rescue are planning to winch up the miners at a rate of roughly one an hour.
Much thought has gone into the order in which they are saved. The first men were amongst those in the best condition, physically and mentally.
Next, the rescuers started to retrieve those who were weaker or ill.
Inside the capsule, the miners' heart rate, temperature and oxygen consumption is monitored and they can speak to controllers on the surface.
At the top, they emerge into the glare of the world's cameras wearing state-of-the-art sunglasses supplied by an American optics company.
The intense media attention, and the free sunglasses, are an introduction to what will doubtless be very changed circumstances in the men's lives.
"It's not only bright lights, it's millions of jabbering people. Millions of people, prodding and poking them," said Dr James Thompson, a senior psychology lecturer at University College London.
The miners have already received offers of book deals and new jobs.
We don't know if they will cope well with their fame. However, one thing is for sure: if the miners continue to show the sort of collective resolve that has come to define their amazing story then they have a good chance.
