***************************
Thought for the day    TM Nakamura

The last Sunday night, the NHK’s Historical drama in 2006; “The crossroad
to success”, Koumyou-ga- tsuji in Japanese ended.
 I had enjoyed watching that drama.
 When I decided to get marry, I read a book, “The wife of Yamanouchi
Kazutoyo”. 
That’s because I wanted to get some hints to be a wise wife.
 This year, I heard news that many high school students haven’t studied
history at school. How poor young people lost their chance to learn many
things from history!
 We are living in a history. I　mean, the incidents of 2006 will surely
change into a history after a new year starts.
 So, by learning from the past, let’s make a nice history!
May 2007 also bring you happiness!
