And Yamachan is flashing
the reflected sunlight into my eye!
And I am so distracted, but I made it through the app.
Cool!
It's the second time you've done that.
Thank you, Yamachan.
You're welcome.
I know that you're always supportive.
Yeah.
And I know that whatever you do
is I know that you're trying to do this to support me.
I put a light on you.
And I trust you for it.
Whether it's...
Whether if it turns out good or bad,
whether if it's actually helping you or not,
I just know that you're trying to help me.
And I appreciate that.
I just want to let you know that I do.
Yeah, I'm lighting up you.
Thank you.
Like a spotlight on a big stage, you know?
Right.
Like a spotlight, right!
Yeah, I make you shine.
Right, like I'm...
As if I'm on stage, right?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
That burns my eyes.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Okay.
In the last message, the last topic was like...
Like...
You know, like...
I said there's a way in between.
I still do think so, but...
If your one way is like...
Putting your 100% into your job is what you want to do,
then there is no in-between things.
Okay.
Because putting everything into your job is what you want to do,
then that can be an answer.
So if you want to try that, you can try that.
Ah, right.
Yeah.
So the first answer you gave was...
Was a question to...
Like work-life balance is what you were trying to answer.
Like there is no...
Work-life balance is 50/50, 60/40, there's a middle, but you're saying...
If...
If you want to work, if you love your job and you want to go all in on it,
then there is no in the middle.
It's just all in on your job.
You can do that.
And that's an answer too.
03:00
Yeah.
And you'll have like...
Then you will be like promoted, be like boss,
and you can do so many things.
And that can be like an answer.
Right, right.
So...
Yeah.
You just wanted to add that on there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And also one more thing is...
Like efficiency...
Yes.
Is a little another measure,
but also important when you think about those...
You know, topics.
Like in every lifestyle,
efficiency is very important in any ways.
Okay.
Like if you want to put 100% and try something,
you know, the efficiency is important.
And a little different perspective of efficiency,
but if you want to find a small but certain happiness,
also efficiency is important.
If you want to pursue that, those lifestyle,
you need to pursue that efficiency in those lifestyle.
You know.
For example, how would you be efficient with your findings of living small?
Like...
setting like environment...
that you can live comfort...
comfortably...
or like think about how to get money efficiently,
like minimum money for living,
so that you can spend rest of your lives for the things you want to do.
True.
So...
So in any cases,
there's a certain part that you can pursue the efficiency.
So that's also important.
There's a way to do it smart.
Yeah.
That's what I want to say.
That's a great phrase.
Like if you want to live small,
it's not smart to just...
True.
You know, when you say those two ways,
when you...
like in like business-y lifestyle,
is smart and efficient way,
but you know, living small and in a countryside,
06:01
you know, those things people say that's not smart way,
but there's a smart way for that lifestyle.
They could take advantage of the fact that there's lots of land.
Is that what you mean?
They could take advantage of the fact that...
the connection of the people are stronger
and utilize that to produce income.
Is that what you're talking about in terms of efficiency?
I mean, that can be an efficiency.
But I wanted to say is to make your lifestyle happen,
there's a efficient...
the smartest way,
like smarter way to realize...
I mean to make that lifestyle happen, real.
For example, instead of living in Tokyo
and going to a inaka for the weekends
and experiencing the small life,
why don't you just move to the inaka and then live small?
Or are you saying that if you want to find a small place to live,
utilize the internet and be efficient?
Yeah.
And then quickly find...
Those things.
Ah, okay.
Like this is always smart...
You know what I mean?
Look for people who wants to rent people.
You know, look for people that has space to rent out
and then negotiate with them so that you can live there cheaply
and maybe have that connection to...
Yeah.
You know, maybe you could have a lifeline of food from them.
Yeah.
Those kinds of like smart way.
Yeah, smart ways.
Okay, true.
I just want to say that.
Okay.
You know, it's really difficult speaking English on these topics.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I think.
You wanted to add that on there.
Yeah.
I mean, now I'm thinking.
Now you're...
I got it.
I'm almost one episode late.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
But it's good you made it though.
Yeah, thank you.
Right?
You still got it on there.
Yeah.
That's good.
I hope you're listening to this.
Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
I hope she got the message.
Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah.
Well...

Yeah.

Several things I want to do.
