The Spirit of Remembrance Day “Face it”

What is Remembrance Day?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Spirit of Remembrance Day "Face it" We Shall Keep the Faith Remembrance Day red poppy Poppy Day November 11 Moina Michael John McCrae In Flanders Fields First World War   November 11 is Remembrance Day. It is sometimes known as Poppy Day. Remembrance Day is a memorial day for Commonwealth of Nations’s armed forces who died in the First World War(1914-1918). They carried out their mission by strenuous effort. Do you know what the symbol of this is? It is a Remembrance poppy. Surprisingly, It is a artificial flower. Why is this? It is due to the poem “In Flanders Fields” written by Canadian John McCrae, MD, physician.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

So people started to wear a red poppy on Remembrance Day. She wrote one poem which was filled with everything. It is a “We Shall Keep the Faith“.

We Shall Keep the Faith

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet – to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We’ll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”
– Thomas Campbell, Hallowed Ground

The spirit of Remembrance Day

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Spirit of Remembrance Day "Face it" We Shall Keep the Faith Remembrance Day red poppy Poppy Day November 11 Moina Michael John McCrae In Flanders Fields First World War   Throughout the world, sincere people celebrated that day in many places . I brought this case because they explains the spirit very well. The Richmond Youth Honour Choir (RYHC) is singing for peace on 11 November. RYHC’s artistic director, Heidi Epp said “It is important to remember the tragedies and losses of war, the suffering of many including veterans, their families, civilians and, well, everyone” I think it is very hard. Why? Because it is too difficult to remind these memories. It maybe pierce your heart. Coming face to face is to be our power and our foundation. After some time, flowers surely begin to blossom.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. / At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”

Whatever you think, it will break your thoughts. 🙂

Universal flu vaccine Strategy is Evolving

Why do you get a flu shot every year?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Universal flu vaccine Strategy is Evolving WHO universal flu vaccine swine influenza Spanish Flu seasonal influenza virus H5N1 H1N1 flu vaccine strategy CDC avian influenza   Doesn’t it bother you? On the other hand, aren’t you nervous? Sometimes I’m worried about ‘what if something go wrong because of the vaccine?’. In fact, researchers don’t want to bother you but they can’t help getting a flu shot. Because Influenza virus is evolving from moment to moment. So vaccine that you got last year had no effect. Even so, influenza virus is nothing to sneeze. According to CDC(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), only in America 200,000 people go into a hospital for seasonal influenza virus. And 36,000 are died. So WHO(World Health Organization) made 3~4 vaccines that are predicted to be prevalent in advance on spring. So we need a universal flu vaccine.

Universal flu vaccine Strategy

For your understanding, watch this video. It is a good video to easily understand. As you already know, I’m a medical student. That antibody will protect you. But as previously stated, Virus mutation occurred frequently. Where is mutation? Surface proteins of Virus(Hemagglutinin, Neuraminidase) are changed. So we often know H1N1(Spanish Flu, swine influenza), H5N1(avian influenza). Often head of Hemagglutinin is a target of antibody.

  Hemagglutinin is composed of two, head and stem. Head mutates a lot, but stem does low. So if you make an antibody that attacks stem of influenza virus, you don’t need to get a vaccine every year. This fact was known in the early 2000s, but there is a problem. But in 2015, two studies which overcome the limitations in innovative ways were published.(professional information Later posting)

Effective person work less and get RichㅣTim Ferriss

‘The 4 hour work week’ Tim Ferriss

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Effective person work less and get RichㅣTim Ferriss Tools of Titans Tim Ferriss The 4 hour work week Role models growth Franz Kafka exceed our limits Everything is up to you Effective person     How many hours do you work for a day? For a week? Does the job become better? When I considered the result of my work, I became so stuffy. If it gets a great result, I’m very excited. But if it is poor, I am feeling of obstructed on the wall. The important thing is that bad times is much more. I work more than 15 hours a day(When the concept of work is expanded). There are many times when I’m burn out, but each time I resolve “Let’s do well!!!”. And then I found this book, ‘The 4 hour work week‘. Four hours a day is a dream. Isn’t it go too far? I can’t believe it. But the author is Tim Ferriss!

“Focus on being productive instead of being busy” – Tim Ferriss

Want to be Effective person

He is the author of ‘Tools of Titans‘ which is commonly famous. As I know, Tools of Titans suggest concrete and actionable solutions. So I read it! Look at the YouTube above. I have a belief that ‘Maybe I can be a effective person’. In fact, there are lots of ways which we already have heard. Do you find something ground-breaking? Like Franz Kafka “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”. That’s right? I think way is not important. The important thing is that whether you can have faith or not. The faith is “You are really to be effective person”. It is all. It’s my review. Everything is up to you.

Role models who push us to exceed our limits, physical training that removes our spare tires, and risks that expand our sphere of comfortable action are all examples of eustress—stress that is healthful and the stimulus for growth.” – Tim Ferriss
