Think of Yourself
I was in Nagoya last week, on our last night, in the 8th floor of a commercial building at some kind of pasta restaraunt. Momo was scarving down pizza, Jerry was laying on my lap, and I was chatting with Eriko's mom about my career.
I told her I had four "things" I wanted to accomplish:
1) Be a father2) Hold a leadership role3) Start a company4) "Retire" a professor
Through broken Japanese, broken English, and Eriko, I explained that my milestones were at different points in life - first learn from others, than do yourself, then teach others.
