Watched Taika Waikiki’s Jojo Rabbit while ironing (thank goodness for Company anniversary holiday!). Loved it.
And I’ll take this with me.
Let everything happen to you. Beauty and Terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Churchill
Whenever you doubt yourself to take on an immense task, thinking your current life must be excellent first before you take on another great role, think of Churchill. How despite having an immense personal debt, and an erring & troublemaker child, he did not doubt himself in assuming the role of the British Prime Minister, at a time when war was raging.
Not all of us are Churchills of course. But who knows, you could be better.
life with a grade schooler: Thomas Edison
Yui: Mommy, you know, Thomas Edison was “99% perspiration and 1% inspiration”. So it’s really all about work.
Me (big smile): yes baby. That’s why, on your first hour of trying, you should not give up easily. And also that’s why you must never say you can’t do it when you never even tried at all.
Yui nods understandingly. My work here is done.
