"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." Henry FordIn 2008, I only wrote 10 posts; not even 1 post per month. Hopefully I'll do better in 2009! No doubt, the highlight of the year is the end of my MBA. That was a BIG load of my shoulders. Of course, in April there was also the start of my new job, for which I feel extremely fortunate to get with my kind of

So yesterday morning I was riding in the packed subway on my way to work. I was reading a book while standing closely behind a guy. Then suddenly... I sneezed. And I did a Zidane to the back of his head. Of course, he wasn't happy.昨日の朝、いつもの通り、満員電車に乗って会社に向いました。そこら辺のオッサンの後ろに立って、本を読んでいたら。。。「ハックション！」。。。と同時にジダンのように、オッサンの後頭部に頭突きを一発かました。勿論、凄い目で睨まれた。すんません、オッサン。

My friend P contacts me the other day and goes: "wanna go see Harvey Mason tomorrow?" My answer, before he had time to finish his question, was: "Harvey Mason!! Of course!!" So the next day, I met up with P and we went to the concert hall together. At the entrance, we see the poster for the show and it said: "Harvey Mason Trio, Steve Gadd and the Crusaders, Dave Koz and friends." The first thing

A Japanese friend once told me that she feels like a different person when she speaks English. I totally agreed with her! I guess that in order to speak a language well, it helps if you think in that language and incorporate the culture. At the same time, you probably take on a different personality accordingly.Then recently, I found this post on my friend David's site. It talks about personality

Yes, I officially received the grade for the last course of my MBA. It's all over now.Working full-time while studying, the last 2 years have probably made me age about 10. Especially the last 2.5 months, as I had to juggle the MBA and a new job, along with some carry-over work from the last job, in addition to moving. But all that is behind me now.Getting to the end of the MBA was pure hell. But

Ever since SKYPE came out a few years back, I've been telling many of my friends that I predict telephones and internet use will be free for everybody in the near future. I didn't quite know how such an infrastructure could be set up, but I proposed that the government set up and maintain such systems using tax money. Essentially, just set up free wireless stations everywhere (like cellular phone

It's been 2 years since I started this blog in Feb. 2006, pretty much right after my birthday. So what better time than today, 2 birthdays later, to make a little title change. Of course, "2008: A new start for Tetsu" was out of the question, so I had to think about it for a while. Since I talk a lot about things I do and many of my philosophies on this blog, I decided on "Tetsuology" as this

Our 2006 year-end family trip to Las Vegas seems like yesterday, and here we are already done with 2007. Highlights this year for me include: 1) Publishing a paper in Molecular Cell, 2) the birth of Greg’s twins, Salomé and my God-daughter Oriana, 3) doing a wonderful summer MBA program in Montreal, and most recently 4) landing a job at a Japanese pharmaceutical company. Oh, yes, this is the

As you can see on the left side-bar, I recently set up a counter for the most popular posts on this blog, and it shows that the two most popular posts have been (and probably will continue to be) "Learning languages Tetsu's way" and "Pentalingual conversation with a linguist".The world is getting smaller and smaller, and clearly people are more and more (and more) interested in multilingualism.

Going back to Canada in July was great. Had a lot of fun seeing family and friends, doing the MBA program, and EATING. Big problem. I'm not the biggest guy around, but I got my little tire that I've always wanted to get rid of. Well, going back home only pumped more air (or grease) into my tire and I've had it. Must get it off!

A few years ago, my mother recommended that I read this story about a courageous man called Hirotada Ototake. I read the Japanese version (Gotai Fumanzoku) but the above photo is the cover of the English version (No one's perfect). As you may notice, this guy was born with no arms and no legs. But that didn't stop him from getting a degree from Waseda University (a top-notch university in Japan),

My chat with Steve Kaufmann and my post on my language acquisition techniques have spurred quite some activity on my blog since a few months back... and it continues!

Last summer, I wrote about taking the J-test. But since that test is not THE MOST well-known Japanese proficiency test, last December I decided to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) from the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services, which EVERYONE knows.The results are in. With an 89% overall, I officially passed Top Level Japanese, or "Ikkyu" (~70% is the passing grade).

I recently found an interesting blog of a Japanese guy doing his MBA in Boston. He often talks about his experiences and cultural observations in the US and I find it quite amusing. Today he talked about how the perception of humor is different depending on the culture. As an illustration, he used a joke that could easily be translated into Japanese, but he found it to be funny only in English

It's exciting to be able to give talks on the same stage as top experts in the world!口頭発表中の写真です。世界のトップリーダーたちと同じステージに立ってお話し出来るチャンスなんて滅多にないので、本当に良い経験だった。This was my last slide, sending everyone my best wishes for the year of the pigs.これは最後のスライドで、会場のみなさんに「良いイノシシのお年を」と伝えた。

The title of this blog is “2006: A New Start for Tetsu”. Without going into details and enumerating things, I would just like to say that it was a wonderful year during which countless good things happened, many of which will have changed my life forever, and I’ll have my parents, co-workers, and friends to thank.So, obviously, this blog was started in 2006. End of February to be precise. At

Boy, the last few days have been pretty tough. An all-nighter party Saturday with my RaiA bandmates, followed by a Finance midterm on Sunday, and of course, another all-nighter Christmas party with the MBA folks after that.The lack of sleep turned out to be good, however, as I was able to snore my way back to Canada during the flights. Surprisingly, back home, the temperature was pretty high, at

Try it, it'll make your day. And if you like it, here's another one called Lets Be Friends.

The name Kameda probably does not ring a bell for most people outside of Japan or have no interest whatsoever in boxing. Myself, I am no fan of boxing or anything, either.

Last weekend (July 22-24) was Novartis Biocamp, an original and fun camp aimed at teaching bio-business planning. The 19 chosen bio-minded boys and girls were split into 4 teams and we had to come up with a business plan overnight, for a little competition on the final day. Needless to say, in terms of business planning, it was disastrous. But in terms of dreaming and thinking about crazy stuff,

I wanted an official evaluation of my Japanese, so I did a J-test about a month ago. I guess it's like your TOEFL and TOEIC, except it's for Japanese. Got the results. Pretty happy about it, considering the fact the I CAN'T WRITE KANJI (I can type though)! I did well in the first parts (hearing and reading) but of course didn't do too well in the writing. But I still ranked 31st in 3521

Sept. 30 last year marked the deadline for a 10-million yen (~US$85-90 000) essay competition hosted by Gakken. Basically we had to write a 5-page composition on a "futuristic invention".

So it's officially started. Saturday was the orientation day for the McGill MBA-Japan Program. A great class composed of about 35 students (6 Japanese, 3 women).We also met the second year students, who gave us some precious survival tips! We were told to work very hard for Stats and Finance. Well actually, work very hard for everything and EXTREMELY hard for Stats and Finance. Thanks for the

Recently, I have been very fortunate to have a chance to conduct collaborative research work with a highly renowned FISH expert (Professor T) and his wonderful team. And just for the record, "NO" I have not been trying to catch the next rainbow trout! The experiment, FISH (which stands for Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization), serves the purpose of locating genes on specific chromosomes, which we

Here are some photos of great friends that I had the great fortune of seeing this time, some of whom I've not seen for a loooooong time.-->Bachir (labmate back in Quebec City) and family-->Isabelle (wonderful journalist that I only met recently (from Actualite)) and family (including my new found

はい！先週パソコンのハードディスクがぶっ飛びました。初体験です。でも、頑張ってファイルを抽出して、外付けハードに載せることに成功！データ、個人ファイル、メール、さらにプレフェレンスまで、全部救えた。幾つかファイルも開いて、確認して、一晩寝かして、さらにもう一回確認したとこ、すべて大丈夫そうだったので、元のハードをフォーマットしました。もう一回そこでOS-X Tigerを入れようとしたが、４時間後にはやはりエラーが出ました。これ以上やるのも無駄だし、後が心配なので、今週ハードディスクを買い換えました。もっと早くて、容量の大きいやつに。取り替えも簡単でパフォーマンスも抜群です。よかった。。。と思ったら、今度はなんとバックアップしていたファイルが。。。無い！！！信じられない展開。おそらくバックアップしたファイルの中に悪さをしているファイルがあると思われる。。。仕方が無い、また頑張って抽出

血液型でパーソナリティーの話をするのは面白いし、当たる事が多い。でも超はずれるときってあるよね？例えば、俺なんか典型的なXX型だと思うけど、意識的に悪いと思っている部分を削ろうとしているし、他の良いとこを取り入れる努力もしているので、殆どの人は間違える。でも、血液型で個性の話をしても、４種類しかないし、科学的根拠もない。それに対し、心理テストは長年のデーターと観察を基にしている上、色んなタイプがある。ここにJung, Briggs, and Myersという三人の有名な心理学者の考えを基にして作り上げたテストがあります（http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp）。暇つぶしにやってみて下さい。自分のパーソナリティーの良いとこ、悪いとこを知ると、色んな面で人生に役立つと思うよ。ちなみに、俺は１６タイプの中で一番少ないタイプのENTJ（２％

土 曜日は楽しい、楽しい花見のダブルヘッダー！昼間は友人のお誘いで武蔵境の近くの国立天文台の敷地。いっぱい桜が咲いていて、きれいなとこだった。友達が 友達を呼びまくったって感じで相当な人数が集ま りました。誘ってくれた友人「Uさん」は凄い料理の達人で、メッチャうまいパエリアを作ってくれた！料理才能ゼロの俺はギターを持っていった。他にも太鼓 を持ってきてた人がいて、最高に楽しいジャムセッションも出来た。感激。さらに、Uさんの彼女が中島美嘉の Glamorous Skyを歌ってくれた。素晴らしい声で鳥肌たちまくり。夜はMeetupと言うネット上のLanguage Exchangeクラブの花見イベント＠井の頭公園。色んな言葉喋る人が集まって、これもまた盛り上がっちゃった。最初はみんなシャイだったみたいだけど、酔っぱらい始めたらみんな何語でも話せる感じになっていた。写 真に写ってんのはトオル君。

一ヶ月前に立ち上げたブログとHPのトータルアクセスが予想を大幅に上 回って、２０００ヒットを軽々とこしました。個人ブログ・HPにしては好スタートかなと思うんだけど。つうか、テッちゃんの人生の出来事に興味がある人が いっぱいいると思うと、幸せ。。。みんなありがとう！さらに、ブログを通じて素晴らしい仲間もいっぱい増えたし。みんな色んな人生の生き方・楽しみ方を教えてくれるのでいい勉強になります。クロリンさん、小林さん、サクさん、典子さん、ミヨちん、ムラッチこれからもお互いのブログをサポートして行きましょうね。いや〜、なかなか充実した３月でした。スノボ、McGill MBA Japan合格、Florent Dabadie宛の八ヶ国語レター、ヒッポの多言語懇談会、そして一番のハイライトはやはり、Actualitéの取材かな？その合間にも色んなお友達と飲んだり、遊んだり。四 月には花見、ヒッポの

Having travelled around the globe, she is knowledgeable in practically any subject; so it was a tremendous pleasure to discuss with her over beer, wine and great food! Merci Isabelle. On se revoit a Montréal!

(Real date of post: 060324)いやいやいや、俺が言う「２００６年はテツの年」とはこういう事だよ！とにかく色々と動いている。昨日はヒッポファミリークラブと言う多言語習得研究会みたいなおもろいクラブを２５年前に立ち上げた、榊原さんと言うお方の懇談会に参加させてもらった。みんな色んな言葉で自己紹介をしたので、感心したよ。３才のチビっ子がべらべらスペイン語で自己紹介してるとこを見せられてみん！俺もムキになって７ヶ国語で自己紹介しちゃった よ！ガハハ。でも、何よりもあの場にいた母ちゃんたちの迫力にはお手上げでしたね。話すわ、歌うわ、ガキンチョと遊ぶわ。。。最後には榊原さんのお話を聞かせてもらって、深く考えさせてもらった。面白い体験ありがとうございました。そして今朝はカナダのActualitéと言う雑誌の取材を受けた。仕事の事とか、俺のバックグラウンドとか、色々と楽しいお話が

(Real date of post: 060315)（ダバディさんの紹介はこちら）Cher M Dabadie,Je me présente: Tetsu. Je suis votre plus grand fan venant du Québec. La première fois que je vous ai vu à la télé c'était dans les résidences de l’Université Laval, où je terminais mon doctorat. C’était il y a presque 4 ans déjà, durant la Coupe du Monde, où vous jouiez le rôle d’interprète pour Philippe Troussier. Ce n’est qu’après mon

(Real date of post: 060315)やっとムービーの載せ方分かったよ。Htmlは習わないと難しい！取りあえず、一つ載せてみるね。これは２００５年の春、僕のバンド 「RaiA」が吉本興業の番組のオーディションを受けた時の出来事。残念ながら、あのオーデェションは通らなかったけど、 ちょうどそのとき「ハナタカ天狗」と言う新しい番組の出演者を募集していたので、応募した。そして、RaiAのみんなには申し訳なく、俺だけ採用され ちゃった！ごめん！ちなみに、クリップの中では「大学院生」って言ったけど、ウソです。研究員って言うと説明が面倒なので。My band "RaiA" went to audition for a program on national TV last spring. Although RaiA didn't make the cut that time, I
