アンソニーの目標設定をする

さて、最近はマスターに向けて、アンソニーの翻訳したやつを黙々と読んでいる。

それも痛烈に感じるのが、良い本をよまなあかんということ。

情報収集くらいの理解度でよいならば、時間をきめて、サーっと読んでみる。

本質的な本は時間をかけてじっくりと読むことがよいだろう。

アンソニーやジェイ・エイブラハム、コトラー、ポーター、ドラッカーなど。

ま、話を戻してアンソニーの目標設定。

ドクター・フィルのような番組を持ちたい。

ベストセラーを書きたい。

などなど、目標はたくさんある。

自分は目の前にイメージがあり、それに対してみけんあたりからオレンジの三角形の

サブモダリティを作ると確実性を得る。

または、自分の左にイメージを作ってしまうと、

それを過去のものとして認識する。

非常におもしろかった。

常に安定している。そして、なんでもこいや、という感じが

自分は好きな状態である。

The last day of Intensive Training

17th Aug,
Because I am taking a Wealthy Mind, this is going to be my last day of Intensive Training (of course I came back here for the graduation ceremony on 18th Aug after the first day of Wealthy Mind ). Oh I will surely miss people here,,,

Well, this is how the training is given;


By the way who is teaching in the front is Nick. This picture was taken while he was teaching ( taken by Dave ).

And the last 4 days were taught by Christiane Turner. She is so fun and powerful! She has a website called Quantum NLP.



And the video below is how we manage our state.



By the way a strong British accent near the camera is created by Jayne, my seminar-aunt from York. And I really appreciate Michael and my seminar-aunt from Oregon Kathleen for their beautiful dance. Michael is in a red jacket. Kathleen is in front of him with sunglasses. Everybody, watch this when you want to manage your own state!

Dinner with Dave and LiWen

15th Aug, one of the resource persons in the training , Dave took me to an Italian restaurant that are relatively close to Hilton Garden Inn Burlingame. It is called North Beach Pizza.

After the training, Dave went home to pick up his wife, LiWen and came back to the hotel again to pick me up. We discussed a little in a car then decided to go to North Beach Pizza. Their decision was absolutely correct. A pizza we had was really delicious and we all really enjoyed it.

Dave has been to America for about 9 years and is running a coaching business. Soon he will expand it to Taiwan, America and China. He is from Taiwanese. He is an expert of Feng Shui (風水). Recently he started to teach that with NLP in America.

I have seen 2 lectures he gave so far, they are so interesting. I am sure he will be a great trainer soon.

His wife, LiWen is also Taiwanese. She came to study English in SF, then they met. hmm good story :) She also has studied NLP for years. She will come to a Wealthy Mind Seminar this weekend. I'm joining that as well.

They are interested in coming to Japan. If you come, please let me know. I'll take you two a nice sushi place. Anyway thank you for a great dinner! 謝謝!



By the way, my favorite player in my home team, Hanshin Tigers is from Taiwan. His name is Lim.

Sushi with Larry

12th Aug, Larry , one of my seminar-friends took me to a Japanese sushi restaurant called "Naomisushi". I really like to go out in the evening of the training day because it feels like I spend two days in one day.

Larry has worked in Japan for a couple of years. He has been to Hokkaido , Tokyo or etc. He really likes the way Japanese work. Japanese make promises and pursue goals hard. I do not support all aspects of Japanese work style but what he says totally makes sense and that is what I like about it.

At Naomisushi, they serve really really great sushi. Oh I loved it!! We had several Nigiris and rolls.

I am figuring out that there is everything in SF. I don't think you will have difficulty with finding tastes of your country's here.

Larry treated me to a dinner. When he comes to Japan next time, I am going to treat him a nice food. Well, arigato Larry!

Golden Gate Bridge at Night

11th Aug, it is my girlfriend birthday! As it is her lucky day, she gave me a luck too. I got a chance to see The Golden Gate Bridge in the dark even though it was a normal seminar day. Everything started from my seminar-friend, my great friend, Cathy's offer. Since she lives in SF, she took Inhwa (from Korea), Milt (from Michigan) and me to downtown SF and The Golden Gate Bridge.

Cathy has been to Taiwan and Korea for a while and interested in Asia. We talked often and worked on the exercise together often. Of course she is a great great coach, and she coached me very well. But what I like more about working with her is to get a chance to listen to her laughing. That is so unique.

Speaking of laughing, I introduce Milt. He used to be in one of the greatest companies in the world and now is a coach. He often makes very useful comments in the training. You have to listen to his laughing.

I should have recorded that!

Then Inhwa, she is a college student from Korea. Her mother is an NLP trainer and has taught her NLP. Inhwa speaks not only English but Japanese. Her Japanese is much better than English , she says. When we talk to each other, we speak in Japanese. I am so amazed at her speaking Japanese so perfectly.

We went to an Italian restaurant and talked about the training, differences of countries, personal histories and such.


Inhwa, Milt, Me, Cathy

After that Cathy took us to the best place to enjoy the GGB in the dark. In the video below, you cannot see it well but in the real eyes, it looked so beautiful. With the sound and smell of waves, we enjoyed the scenery.



Anyway, thank you for taking us there Cathy!

Trish's house

After the training on 4th August, Trish , one of my seminar-friends took Richard , unthinkablly funny Dutch guy and me to her house and downtown of SF. Trish used to live in SF and now she lives in Oregon with her husband. She knows a lot about health and nutrition. "Health" has been a always one of the biggest people's concerns but here in the states, it looks more than that of Japan.
Anyway, Richard , UFDG (unthinkably funny Dutch guy) , is funny and pretty smart. He has long experience of NLP and knows a lot about it. And he invest that wisdom into hypnotizing girls.

As soon as we got to Trish's house , we met her mother Cathy. She was not in good condition then but kindly came to the living room to welcome UFDG and me.

Then we enjoyed a beautiful view of SF from the living room. Here are pictures of it;




After enjoying her living room, we headed for a restaurant area nearby the house. We had dinner at a Mayan restaurant. As soon as a waitress came to take an order, UFDG performed his skill. "What is your name?" I thought "Oh, it starts again!". But his communication skill is worthwhile to see. He said he learned this habit when he was in Dutch Navy. What a thoughtful navy.

After dinner, we went to Mission district. There are a lot of bars that reminded me of my Emory time. That was already 4 years ago. Why we went to bars? Because UFDG needs to see girls in order to survive.
But he is not the only one who had a good time. Trish and I also, we all had a great time.

Next day, I showed them a movie of "All You Need Is Love". They really enjoyed it very much, especially Richard did since he knows how popular the show is.

Anyway lastly enjoy a beautiful view of SF from the balcony.

Meeting with Masters

The first half has passed. Hmm time flies indeed. I hardly remember about when we landed here. It is always fun to learn what I love. And here are the masters who devoted themselves to teach NLP Coaching to us.



This is Suzi. She is really, I mean "really" super at teaching complicated things SIMPLY and playfully! She taught me how important simplicity is especially when things are complicated.



Nick. His commitment to engage in people to help is awesome. He is really friendly , anyone can talk to him so easily , very open-minded. His ability to create connection between people just amazed me!



Lastly Helen. Surprizingly we have the same religion. I could not believe it! She has an aura that tells people how magnificent and powerful one human-being is. She really loves coaching, you can see that from her easily.

Ok now it is almost 1 pm that means I have to go. The second half is starting!

Stanford University

Today is the first dayoff in our summer intensive training so we ( me + 2 companions ) went to Stanford University, one of the best schools in the States and the world.
From the airport, we took a BART train for one stop, then chenged the line into Caltrain. It takes about 30minutes to get to the station nearby Stanford called Palo Alto.

At Palo Alto, shuttle buses are running so you can visit many places by those on the campus. We were planning to join a campus tour so firstly we headed for a visitors' info which is right in front of Hoover Tower. We knew the tour starts at 11 because one of our seminar friends works there , she told me so , but we were a little late. So we talked to people at the info then planned where to go.

As far as they told me, there are three tours; campus tour on foot at 11 and 15:15. And at 13:00 there is a tour by a cart ( $5 ) . One by a cart is popular and the number is limited ( I guess 9 was the maximum ) so you need to book it beforehand.

We walked around a little bit then went to a bookstore that has more than books. They also sell a lot of kinds of Stanford goods. So we shopped for a while.





After that we had lunch at a cafeteria where you can enjoy the live jazz. It was amazing. I am not sure but in this season they are playing that everyday. How cool is that!

We rested for a while then walked to the main library. Gotta work, you know?
So what we need to do there is to check how many and which kind of NLP books they have. But surprizingly there are not so many of them.

Maybe writers do not put "NLP" on its title or ,,, it is just because NLP is not so popular???

Anyway, after disappointing search, we finally went to the top of Hoover Tower. You need to pay $2 to go up, but what I found out is it surely is worth it. You can enjoy a panorama view and cool breeze. We stayed there for a while, talking to students there, or just standing in breeze.



After that, we went to a shopping center by or inside the campus. The shuttle goes there. We went there because one of my companions wanted , so basically I had nothing to do, so I walked around, seeing things there.

We really liked spending time here. We call San Francisco "the Heaven on the Earth".

Fisherman's Wharf

After visiting Golden Gate Bridge, we took a bus to Fisherman's Wharf. It was really cold and windy day , so two of my companions bought a jacket to make themselves warmer.
I have been there once, that was last year. There were so many people and many street entertainments. One of them is a black guy hiding in a bush and suddenly comes out saying "Hello!" that was really funny because though he is hidden from one side he is so visible from the other side. So many people are standing the side where they can see him well and waiting for somebody from the other side to be shocked. Another one is here. I thought my younger brother, Hiromasa will like it;



Other than that, we went to Pier 39 where a lot of stores are. We had dinner at restaurant where you can see sea lions.

I took a picture of what I had for dinner.

Yes Clam Chowder,,, this is what you have to have in SF.

Wait, before we came here, what had we done,,,???

We went to see a submarine and took some pictures.

Then walked around in Pier 39;





Well, we thought we just had walked around, but it looks like we did many things there.

Golden Gate Bridge



On 26th July, that was our second day here + a day before the seminar started, we went to a downtown of San Francisco. We visited many places so I'll tell you more later but for the moment, here I put a picture of Golden Gate Bridge.

Unfortunately it was foggy so we couldn't see the whole clearly but still fun to visit there. We took a bus ( Muni bus ) to get there. I found it quite handy , with 1.5 doller you can take a bus to anywhere it goes within 90 min. A travel guide says if you master how to take a bus in San Francisco, you master to enjoy a trip in San Francisco.

Golden Gate Bridge : the length is about 2,700 meter, height of the poles is 230 meter. It was built in 1937. So now it is 70 years old. Here is a link to wikipedia / Japanese wikipedia .

Kurayoshi

There is a great steak restaurant about 20-minute away from my house. It is called Kurayoshi. I have mentioned about it before, and last week I went there again with my family ( without my sister who is now in New Zealand ) plus Louana :) Here is a very short video of it;
