Thought for the Day                     by TM Nagata

The color of the uniform of Japanese soccer eleven is called samurai blue.
That color supposed to shine against a soccer match for Australia on the
12th of June. However, the samurai blue regrettably lost their shine for ten
minutes before the game end. The victory of the game is decided by the
difference of the power between both teams. And also victory is decided by
the difference of a small competitive challenge. A small mistake greatly
changes the entire game.

In your life, a small mistake sometimes changes your entire life. Please be
careful at your behavior, because your life is only one time just like
Japanese team's challenge of the world cup in Germany.
