Christian Maeda - Letter to My Future Self

Dear 30 years old Christian

 

How are you doing now? Are you still working at the same restaurant, or you get the other job? I have no idea what kind of job I want to do at now, but it would be nice if you are happy with what you are doing. 

However, I cannot imagine having family especially if you devote yourself to your work. I am not sure which family or work you will choose, but that is your choice. If you put more priority into work, do not sacrifice your health for success. Of course, your physical health is really important for you, but also mental health too. Try not to push yourself too hard. If you choose the family, do not make your family lonely. You must work to make a living, but your family is much important than your work. Once you choose family, you should not make them disappointed. 

Anyway, the life is constantly changing. I'm sure you had lots of hard decision in this 10 year. Every decision you did are your treasure. You should be proud of yourself.

Take care yourself and stay cool.

kind regard

20 years old Christian

    Hi Christian, I think you give some wise and compassionate advice to your future self. You raise an important important regarding creating balance between work and family, which is no doubt a challenge for all those who choose to have a partner and children. I think it is certainly possible to do well with both; it may help to have a mentor in life or at least some good role models.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
