Well, then, continue from the last one.

・2nd chapter E for Elimination
At this chapter, the author talks about how to eliminate such wasteful something. What hits me the most from many topics is, ‘Low information diet’ making a barrier from un-useful information enhances our creativity. Don’t watch TV or the net unless it’s necessary. It’s OK to receive email only twice a day.
Anyway, the name, ‘Diet’ hits the nail on the head absolutely. Yes, information remain my brain and sometime overflow. Despite my physical appearance, I guess, I’m a kind of obesity at information. Uh, I should control my intake of it. Maybe, start from this start page.

・The 3rd chapter A for Automation.
In short, digest version of ‘The world is flat’.
Because of Japanese language, it’s bit difficult to realize the merit of offshoring, but I couldn’t agree more the concept, delegate something which someone can do, and concentrate something which only you can manage, like creative work or decision making. In this term, I believe it’s by far the important that I have some ‘nice’ skills which can’t be replaced easily.

・The 4th chapter L for Liberation
Well, supposing you fortunately succeed, then, what do you do? There are no difference between a successful retired person and a beggar, if they spend their life with sitting somewhere and have a quiet time forever.
I like a concept ‘mini retirement’. It’s nice if we can work a few years continuously and have a vacation or something for a while and work again.
I guess it won’t be really accepted by Japanese culture though, I have desire to go to travel again.. I should make use of the method which this book introduced.

Conclusion,
I wish, I could enjoy this kind of lifestyle. It’s the best thing that you can pursue your passion. Avoid wasteful things, utilise limited time, I should really work hard anyhow at first.

I’ll buy round-the-world air ticket and have a year travel. It’s a nice goal, isn’t it? 

Prologue,
At first glance of his profile, I just said to myself, “How on earth this guy can manage such things!?”

・Princeton University graduate, and guest lecturer in entrepreneurship
・National Chinese kickboxing champion
・First American in history to hold a Guinness world record
・Applied linguist in Japanese, Chinese, German and Spanish
・MTV break dancer in Taiwan

and so on.. It’s outstandingly crazy. Besides, he is still young. (He was born 1977).
Nevertheless, he used to work more than 80 hours per week in fact, and he’ll going to tell how to archive this funky life in the rest of book.

・1st chapter D for DEFINITION
Let’s re-asses so-called common senses.
“Is being busy good?”, “Is retirement the best goal?”, “Do we need to keep working for 10 years even if it’s so tedious?” According to him, all of the answers should be NO.

・Recognize the difference between absolute income and relative income
・Don’t fear only an action but also inaction.
・Imagine the real worst case, and evaluate the bad case you are afraid about.
・Don’t be busy, be productive
・There is no right timing.

It’s often said though, ‘Change the Rules’, when you change your point of view, you can also change your possibility. Actually, I had thrown many doubts to Japanese common sense and choose eccentric ways. Thus, I couldn’t agree more about the issues which regard to job security and so on. I can do anything anyway, if the topic takes my fancy.
