Yuki Notes

I went to my parent's home with my wife yesterday. Although I could stay in my hometown only for a few hours, I ate a lot of yummy stuff there. They warmly welcomed us. We said good-by to my parents and returned home in that evening. Looking back on the day in bed, I realized that I'm being protected by them even now.

The small comment by my student hurt me. I felt distinct malice. I think educator must be open-minded. But practically, it’s difficult to respect everyone. I can’t deal with selfishness. I don’t know if I’ll be good teacher for all students, but I want to respond to someone who need assistance carefully.

I am ashamed to say, I did poor attitude to student’s guardian on the phone. It was like a complaint handling. Although I should not got emotional, I couldn’t suppress irritation. I’m not good at communicate with person who have aggressive personality. I want to exercise and I’ll sleep early today.

I went to the dojo of aikido two times in this week. I practiced how to reaction to “striking side of head” and “straight stab”. The important point is not too leave away from opponent. About the former, I was taught that I have to stand next to the side of opponent’s body. Speaking of the latter, I received advice not too withdraw my lower back.

She gets angry that I break my promise. I think it is little things in most cases. For example, doing the dishes, putting rice into a container, and going to cafe. Unfortunately, when I have other priorities or I’m too tired, I can’t accomplish them in some cases. If I were  single person, I would not hurt anybody. But I have a precious partner now. I have to know own tendencies and must control it.

I became 1st-dan of aikido in August this year. When I tied my black belt for the first time, I felt very happy. I want to try even harder to be a suitable person for the belt.

Although it was a busy week, I had a deep sleep last night. Getting enough sleep made my condition good. So, I was able to have a enjoyable morning with my wife. To improve my career, health, and private life I want to make a habit of go to bed early.
