I hate the word KY.
"KY" is for short "Kuuki wo Yomenai hito" in Japanese.
"Kuuki wo Yomenai hito" means "Person who can't read the atmosphere"
This word is expressed a negative trait of the Japanese very well.
At school, work, home, family, community,
We may feel invisible pressure to "Read the atmosphere".
The pressure of "Reading the atmosphere" is very scary.
Many Japanese people do not allow KY.
KY is bullied, depressed, and in the the worst case, choose death.
One of the most important skills to survive in Japanese society is reading the atmosphere.
Doing the same thing, same hobby, watching the same TV show.
For example,
Japanese Recruitment Suit.
In the job search, companies do not request students to wear a recruitment suit.
But students read the atmosphere.
and they choose to wear the recruitment suit voluntarily.
I was always frightened whenever I watch the news of the initiation ceremony.
Because all new recruits wear the same suits.
Is this my country?
Is this Cultural Revolution in China?
Is this North Korea?
No, This is our country.
However, let's think deeply.
People who changed the world,
People who are successful,
I strongly believe that they are KY.
Edison ,Einstein, Bill Gates, John Lennon, Lady GAGA, etc, etc.
Let's think about the first person who ate sea cucumber.
I strongly believe he is a KY.
Thanks KY!
We can eat a sea cucumber.
Life is very short.
But we spend a lot of time thinking about other people.
We don't have free time to think about other people.
Steve Jobs, Apple's founder said
Your time is limited,
so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma
- which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.
And, LADY GAGA is sing in "Born this way"
I'm on the right track
I was born to be brave
I was born this way
I was born to be brave
I was born this way
Don't deny KY.
Let's create a diverse and interesting society together.
That way, the world will be more fun.
the world should improve more.
Well, Let's KY!
