I actually live in Japan. In a strange bit of irony I actually shot many of the photos on that site.

LOL. The very same can be said on the korean that died from playing too much online games. Too much of anything is always bad.

Hahaha. That’s the result of too much loyalty and commitment! That’s true issai. There should always be balance. Too much of a good thing could be a bad thing. Hehe.

i was reading about a jap guy who died from working too much. about 106 hours overtime a month. he died from a heart condition because of it. it’s funny, your post was the first one i thought of when you said that japanese work for achievement. i guess that guy took it to the extreme. so guys, work hard but not too hard.

Yes. The Japanese culture is actually very unique against all the cultures in the world. Because only in Japan do you see an animation industry branded with a certain Japanese Brand which is Anime. Very impressive indeed.

Very true there Monaco. Discipline is a must have trait if you want to be successful in anything you want. It’s actually the whole point of studying in school. In my opinion, the lessons I studied during my elementary and high school years were pretty much useless but the good thing was the honing of discipline in studying for the lessons. Hopefully, we Filipinos will go in that direction.

I’m surprised to know that you worked for a year in Japan, Ambo. Anyway, It really is a long long process. I’m really disappointed on how our country has turned out. Especially with the recent freak show of Sen. Trillianes at the Manila Peninsula. Hahay.

what I admire about the japanese is their discipline, sadly a trait the filipinos lack. their love of country and focus on all thing japanese is admirable as well, and this was developed though hundreds of years of tradition starting from the time they closed their doors to the outside world centuries ago.

I’ve stayed and worked in Japan for a year and i really appreciate their culture. I love it! They’re disciplined and very courteous. I don’t think our country be as good as Japan. It’s a long long long long process perhaps.

Japanese culture is very impressive. Well at least traditional Japanese culture, the new stuff coming out kind of scares me…
