You live in a fable.They laugh at you and call you unstable.You’re not playing your role.Nothing about it is fun.That’s why you threw away the script and wrote another one.– Positive Masters, Jon Riki Karamatsu, Poem, 5/22/2019 -I dedicate this poem to all of you going through the process of reinventing yourself. It can be a bit scary to push yourself way past your comfort zone.

Keep stacking up your skills! The more skills you develop, the greater service you can provide the world! 📚🎶💻📝🖌🛠⚖💉🎬🎥🔬🔭⚽️🏄♂️🧘♀️🏃♂️ Find areas that you have a strong desire to learn. For example, I enjoy reading, writing, creative writing (poems and 2 unpublished novels), government affairs, business law, marketing, graphic design, music (produced concerts in the past) and building start-ups. Speaking wasn't a favorite subject of mine, but I've grown to like it. To overcome my nervousness, I took up acting when I was a teenager up until my early twenties and speech classes while in college. ❤ Positive Masters is an e-commerce store at www.positivemasters.com that provides lifestyle practices, creative writing, apparel, accessories, and fashion to boost your happiness and counter...
The only way to know whether you'll attain your greatest dream that's very difficult to get is by working at it for a very long time and confronting the negativity that comes with the process.What you want has a high chance of failure, enough to make you very uncomfortable.

It'll require at least 7 years of hard work, meaning thousands and thousands of hours of sweat, both mentally and physically. You'll live on only what you need, spend less time with friends, face negative events and people, and go in and out of darkness facing your demons. Remember, you're expected to fail after all of this....
Be quick on your actions. Whenever I have an idea, I start typing it down as soon as possible on my app for notes on my smart phone or laptop. Sometimes I write it down in my notebook. Next, I research and write my plan and strategy. If it looks doable, I execute my actions stated in my plan. I do my best to work on my small goals daily. Over time, these small goals compound, and so does my knowledge, skills, and relationships. If it’s a physical activity, I read up on it and then begin practicing it. If I enjoy the activity, I add it to my arsenal of physical exercises. Have patience on your results. Many successful...
Since I was asked to write for my Pearl City High School's 50th Anniversary Book (1971-2021) by my former teacher, Mrs. Arlene Aranita who I reconnected at a funeral for a close family friend, Mr. Eric Kanemoto who was my soccer coach, Cub Scout Master, and Pearl City Highlands Intermediate School teacher, and my dad's really close friend, I thought I could hit two goals in one strike by writing about it in this blog. For those of you unfamiliar with Hawaii, Pearl City High School is located in Pearl City on the island of Oahu, State of Hawaii. The draft of my article is as follows: The education and life skills taught by our teachers in our public grade schools...
