There is a man self-confident. His friends continued to ask him. “How can you do these things?” “How did you study?” He seemed to try to decide whether to say something or not. What on earth did he do? He has never been gone abroad. But he taught himself to enter Harvard Medical School. Even more shocking was that he attended Harvard and earned his MBAfrom the University of Boston. He did doctoral work on weekdays and on weekends did E-MBA course at the same time, although his native language is not English. Now I wonder ‘How can?’ It is efficiency.
The bottom line is “efficiency”
(Above video is not related with this man) The answer is efficiency. The bottom line is efficiency. ‘Getting the best performance during a limited time’ is the book of 猪俣武範. He said the ‘Lean‘ study methods. This method was adopted by Toyota to enhance its efficiency of production. “Visualization of objectives-Eliminate wastes-Improvement-Habituation-Small victory” But it’s no use not applying all this to me. You can know the reason if you think about the process of writing a book. They didn’t hit the ground running, saying ‘I must write the book of ‘lean’ study method’ from the beginning. In contrast, It’s quite natural process. They have changed myself first. They applied it to themselves furiously, then turned around back. He is a successful man!
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestonedocument in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.
Article 1
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
The UN Charter
WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
ro establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
AND FOR THESE ENDS
to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
ro ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS
Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.
What do you think?
Maybe you can think a lot. If you see many violations of human rights, you can think ‘Isn’t it just a piece of paper? Help me not to have false hope.’ It is enough to make the angels weep. But if you have been lived without any problems, you can think ‘Isn’t it too obvious? From the time I was born, it was a matter of course.’ It is a really difficult issue. I wonder if we can solve it. Let’s have some coffee and get our thoughts straight. It is not to find the answer. Live with the answer!
“Everything is lost in war. Everything is gained with peace” – Pope Francis
Quite simply, It is the peacenews. It is made of something happening all over the world within a single, small book every month. Surprisingly, it is made by the law. The HWPL Newsletter is based on Article 10 of the DPCW, “Spreading a Culture of Peace”. The advantage of this Newsletter is a high level of authenticity that is truly touching. It’s about time to listen Newsletter Editor‘s story. Hannah Jeon, Newsletter Editor said, “In just four short years since its establishment in 2013, HWPL and its many peace projects have received great interest and appreciation worldwide.” Why is it needed? “The HWPL Newsletterwas created with the purpose of announcing the news of HWPL, which is now running for peace and justice in the global community with tens of thousands of peace messengers.”
“The Starting Point is the Conveyance of the News of Hope to the World”
What is the Vision of HWPL and Us?
The HWPL PR Team
Our limits? No. “The newsletter is not limited to only the stories of HWPL but instead seeks to find stories of peace messengers who share the sameheart for peace.” Our vision is that “We are working to create a platform where all individuals are able to tell their own personal stories and explain for themselves their experiences with the processes and results of HWPL’s peace activities in their communities across the globe.” Thanks, Hannah. Listening to the story, I thought a lot. Why do we need peace? Because there is a war. Because there is a pain. All people, who are suffering from the unrelenting violence and war, share the same sadness. I feel a deep sadness because of the pain that is being experienced around the world. So what do we have to do? It is the reason why I love HWPL.
The ultimate object of HWPL
: The world of peace! which humanity has never experienced throughout all of history will be possible for the first time through HWPL. For this, the starting point is the conveyance of the news of hope to the world. It becomes the enginefor the transmission of the values of the international law, inter-faith harmony and peace education that all aim for the world of peace.
“You are the main character of HWPL’s Newsletter. As a loving family of peace living in this world together, let’s create a community that can share one another’s sorrow and joy. We must create the river of peace that all creation is dreaming of and leave it as an eternal legacy that can be inherited by future generations. Anything you would like covered regarding the news of peace is welcome, so please send us your comments.” – The HWPL PR Team
In wikipedia, Family medicine (FM), formerly family practice (FP), is a specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages; the specialist is named a family physician or family doctor. Family practice is a division of primary care that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family across all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body. For family doctor, the patient is not just people who have disease. For example, otorhinolaryngologist(ear-nose-and-throat department) can see only nose of patients. But it doesn’t mean that it really is. It’s just a figure of speech. Family doctor can see the patients in the context of the human, the family and the community.
“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.” ― Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
Why do Family Medicine? Possibilities.
According to the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA), the aim of family medicine is to provide personal, comprehensive, and continuing care for the individual in the context of the family and the community. My hope and dream is to visit every house for treating. If going home, I can know about more of the patients. I can have a deeper understanding of a patient’s life and can pinpoint the cause. “It is not only when you are sick that you should see a doctor.” It is the era of prevention and early detection beyond just treatment. It is so hard to go to every one of them, but I think it will be a new way of medicine!
“I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.” – Hippocratic Oath
The Closing Ceremony of PyeongChang Peace Olympics
Pyeongchang‘s final night starts with electronic music and a dark-breaking sound of geomungo. The final stage of the Pyeongchang Peace Olympics was a festival that included volunteers as well as athletes. The CNN in the United States praised, “The PyeongChang Peace Olympics will certainly be remembered for a long time.” They focused on the scenes not seen in any other Olympics. It is more than just sports festival. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), told the crowd: “The Olympic Games of PyeongChang 2018 are the games of new horizons. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your(Korean President Moon) personal commitment and determination to make these Games so successful in every way.” Moon said, “Here in Korea, we will continue our endeavor to broaden the horizon of peace that began in Pyeonchang.”
What opens up a new horizon?
The Olympic Truce for PyeongChang
The core contents of the Olympic Truce are as follows:
– Urging the cessation of hostilities (from sevendays before until sevendays after the Olympic Games)
– Sports in promoting ‘peace, sustainable development, human rights’
– Expectations that PyeongChang 2018 will be a meaningful opportunity to foster an atmosphere of peace on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia
The President of the PyeongChang Organizing Committee stated :
“I will make the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games a world-backed peace Olympic event with the adoption of the Olympic Truce resolution.”
HWPL supports and expects the PyeongChang Olympic Games to be a Peaceful Olympics! I agree, too.
The PyeongChang Peace Olympics Message of Support From the World
Prof. Leonid Tymchenko International Law Professor at the University of State Fiscal Service of Ukraine
“I strongly support the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula and sustainable world peace. The Organization HWPL from Seoul has concentrated its efforts on reaching peace on the Korean Peninsula and in the world for many years. The Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War(DPCW) elaborated under the aegis of HWPL must be the focus of attention of the United Nations and the governments of all States. I wish every success to all the participants of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games and for the soon peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula.”
H.E. Stanislaw Shushkevich
Former Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Belarus
“I wish this Olympiad would serve as an impetus for another important work, which is world peace. Starting from the peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula, because the equally diligent, equally creative people of North and South Korea deserved the right to live together from a long time ago. And people of both nations should convince their head leaders to peacefully unite this magnificent country.”
Prof. Dr. Enver Hasani Professor of International Law, University of Prishtina
“Through this message I want to convey my warmest gratitude and greetings for peace at the Korean Olympics and to welcome the UN resolution of November of last year and support the Olympics in Korea with the best wishes, that the whole Peninsula lives in peace and is reunited.”

On February 17th, influential people gathered. They are law experts, religious leaders, youth and women groups, education experts, and journalists of Fiji. Why? The inauguration ceremony of Fiji Peace Steering Committee was held. How great is it? It is trustworthy because it was hosted by an International NGO, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL). One participant said “From today’s meeting, I feel like we are really moving forward. We had a lot of feedback today from people who know how to do peace activities.”
“Though we are living in the multi-cultural and multi-relation society but I think ‘tolerance’ is still a bit not well known by most people. So, it will take time and I will try my best to give my contribution in any way to help the HWPL team so that we all move toward to our mission which is to achieve world peace.” – Mr. Bhagirati Bhan, a representative from University of South Pacific (USP) Hindu Society
Fiji Peace Steering Committee
At the event, interfaith dialogue meeting was also held under the topic ‘Discrimination in the name of religion’ celebrating the World Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW) designated by the UN. Father Peter Parlad Kumar, a priest of Anglican Archdiocese of Fiji, who was appointed as Chairperson of Fiji Peace Steering Committee, said “Scriptures of each religion prohibit religious discrimination and discriminations caused by religions in the world are contrary to the teachings of each religious scripture. That’s why they should be eradicated for world peace.” It is time to discuss the direction of future improvement of peace activities in Fiji.
Why HWPL : Practical move
In May 25, 2013 The Declaration of World Peace was proclaimed.
In Sep 16-19, 2014 World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit
ln Sep 18-19, 2015 Convention on the Renunciation and Cessation of War and International Armed Conflicts
In Nov 12-13, 2015 Committee meeting convenes to draft the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War
In March 14, 2016 New international law was proclaimed by HWPL International Law Peace Committee(more info). It was called DPCW(Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War). (DPCW is here)
Now ‘Legislate peace campaign’
#LegislatePeace Campaign in Everywhere
HWPL‘s Legislate Peace Campaign is spreading out around the globe. How many? 630 events being held in 176 countries with over 1 million participants. #LegislatePeace The purpose of HWPL is to end WAR. Maybe you can think it is not possible. Is it so naive? Is it an unattainable ideal? But the walking of HWPL makes us to believe. We get a hope. I can have the faith that we can do it!
The Olympic Flag is a symbol of the Olympic Games. What do the five coloured interlocking rings represent? The Olympic flag symbolizes all nations being united by the spirit of the Olympics. The Olympic torchalso represents “A symbol of world peace“. The Olympic Games are a series of international matches based on justice and cooperation, and aimed at peace-building. The UN General Assembly adopted an Olympic Truce for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics, Paralympic Winter Games.

One media, dailytrust, said ‘For journalists, 2017 represented misfortune of journalism’. Why? I wonder why, too. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) says at least 81 reporters were killedand violence against media soared last year. Also, more than 70 media companies were closed in Venezuela. Also, the Guardian reported that “Global press freedom plunges to worst level this century” mainly due to government censorship, crime targeted at journalists and financial pressures associated with the growth of the internet. What do you think we should do? They are not frustrated. They want to respond to such challenge and turn it into an opportunity. So, some journalists around the world in collaboration with an international NGOhave been seeking ways to enhance press freedom through the international media network and peace journalism in relation.
HWPL : Where should we go?
In 2017, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), said in a statement recently that it formed a series Media Forums to establish a working group of journalists around the world. Why? It want to research the flow of journalism globally and redefine the duty of journalism.
On September 17, 2017, at the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Summit, “the Conference for Global Peace Media Network – Freedom of the Press and International Peace Media Community Initiative” was held with 100 journalists from 50 countries around the world. What is important is that the establishment of media agencies concentrating on peace can raise public awareness, and more and morejournalists should participate in delivering news of peace and settlement of the conflict rather than conflict itself. I sincerely ask journalists to change my future.
“Who can play the most important role in making a world of peace without conflicts? It depends on journalists. If journalists dedicate themselves to peace-building efforts, thoughts of people especially politicians will change. So we have highexpectation in journalism” – Chairman Lee of HWPL
When I went to bookstore yesterday, I can see his book. On the spot, I read more than half of it. If you want to know what I say, you should watch the youtube. TSUTAYA bookstore is a famous tourist attraction to visit in Japan. He is the CEO of it.Muneaki Masuda was born in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture in 1951. He currently serves as the President and CEO of Culture Convenience Club(CCC), which operates TSUTAYA and T Card. After founding TSUTAYA BOOKS in 1983, he established Culture Convenience Club in 1985. He also opened “Daikanyama T-SITE”, including Daikanyama TSUTAYA BOOKS, in Daikanyama, Tokyo in December 2011 to propose a new lifestyle to people in their premier age (adults in their fifties or older). Mr. Masuda is instrumental in planning and creating cultural infrastructure in people’s lives.
Daikanyama T-SITE with CCC
Let me explain to you what I was impressed. I like the ‘Planning’. And I think it is a driving force to lead a life of its own. What is interesting is that Philosophy of Culture Convenience Club(CCC) dipped naturally in everywhere of Daikanyama T-SITE. (In their homepage) “planning” means creating new mechanisms with the potential to sparkrevolutionary lifestylechanges. So Muneaki Masuda try to think in our customer’s shoes over and over. In fact, I know many people who say like this and even I can say like this. But I can’t see anyone who really acts like this. So it can provide ‘lifestyle recommendation service’. I can feel it in ‘Daikanyama T-SITE’. It is “The 20 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World“. But they surpass only bookstore. “You can not grow up by doing the same thing over and over again”, Muneaki Masuda said. In his books, there is a lot of evidence left of his sincerity and concern. From now on, TSUTAYA bookstore is my role-model.

Why did I do hard? What shall I do this for? At first, it was because I found the most valuable thing. It was so much fun, happy, and I’m fun to learn. At that times, I was at a loss for the confusion of values. But after setting up the values, everything was so transparent. So I want to work wholeheartedly. My goal is always to work far harder. What I want to compliment myself on is that I have been wanted to work hard for a long time. But I was immature in many things. First, I tried to do it on my own. Second, I want to establish my own righteousness. Third, the most important thing is that I misunderstood the will of god. No matter what happened, I could not be grateful and hated God.
“What would God acknowledge? We truly must become the light of the world. We are destined to be the world-class light. Let us become the light that reveals God’s glory. And let us fulfill all the filial duty as God’s children so that God receives all the glory forever.“
What is arrogance?
So what is arrogance? I thought I have a good faith. But in tough situations, I could not be grateful and hated God. Why couldn’t I be thankful? Because I’m higher than God. Obviously there was a will of God, but I never thought about it. And I didn’t know anything about God’s thoughts and feelings. How painful the God is! He have been betrayed by a man for 6,000 years now. When I think of this, my situation is nothing and I am glad to understand the heart of God a little. When I received everything as gratitude, everything is appreciated. Now who should I be? I want to be the man who the God acknowledge.
“We have to work far beyond our ability. Always being out on the edge is where heaven will help us. That’s faith.“
