Just luck or preparation?

Hi, teppei again. How are you today?

March 3rd is the celebration day for Japanese, it is called "Momo no sekku". Usually about one week until March 3rd we decorate Hinaningyo Japanese dolls in the house to wish happiness and health to the daughter in the family.

We used to send off those dolls to the river because those dolls bring out the illness and unluck from the girls in the family.

That tradition became to decorate the dolls inside the house.

Like last year and this year we see economic turmoil, we have the tendency to rely on the luck and some devined power from somewhere.

On new year day more that double numbes of the poeple have visited the shirine to wish the prosperous new year.

It shows that people wants to get the luck from everywhere.

Also the number of the registered skill learning increased because of the anxiety of the future.

One of my friend is providing English learning lessons on web. Last months he did the record months in revenue.

When people feel anxiety, people want to acquire new skill-sets and knowledge to be preapred for their future.

Are you preparing for this year or near future?

What kinds of skills do we need in near future?
