Before I die, I need to have the following completed:
1. 4 languages to fluency (English, Japanese, Mandarin, German)
2. 100 million in investments (depositing about a third of each paycheck)
3. Monthly donate to education/charities/space exploration
At time of death:
1. Still be physically and mentally fit
2. At least have some people there
LanguagesMy grandfather was Fukuokan (なので僕は一応形式上日系三世かな?). I gave a speech at graduation as the exchange student representative. My favorite class was 学習心理学.
MandarinBy the end of my 20s, I aim to be fluent in Mandarin. Chinese literature is really interesting, and the history is quite rich. Would be great to know more.
GermanI started learning German recently. My sister lives over there, and I like the place.
MusicJazz is my favorite genre. I like Coltrane (this and this). I also like classical and hip-hop.
BooksMy favorite genre is sci-fi. You can see the books that I read.
ExerciseSleep, diet and exercise are critical. I believe motivation and success are direct products of how much you sleep, eat, and exercise. I used to wake up around 4:00AM and go to bed around 8:00PM. However, since I am still young I try to go out more, so its more like 5/6 AM to 9/10PM.
Shows, Movies, CharactersFavorite color movie is Inception. Favorite black and white movie is Twelve Angry Men.
Favorite TV show is The Twilight Zone or Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
In terms of personality, I would like to be like 古畑任三郎. He was always kind and had a good sense of humor.
