19:10; Formal Speech Session presided by TM
Tsuchihashi:
-TM Yochi Nagano gave his
2nd speech ”My Soul Food” in the CC
manual #2 ”Organize Your Speech”. Kochi residents eat a lot of bonito with
various ways, but don’t familiar with soup from dried bonito and use less in
general. I think this is odd. So I want to know the reasons. Why? I try to figure
out an answer to the question from the historic point of view.
-TM Kamisaka did her 4th
Speech “My job Hunting” in the CC Manual #4 “How to Say It” I failed job
interviews so many times because I suffered from social anxiety. So once I lost
my confidence completely however, in the end I met a fateful company thanks to
many people's support. I had to overcome many ordeals but I've grown as a
person while job hunting.
-TM Hashimoto gave her 1st
speech “My Prayer” in the AC Manual “The Entertaining Speach”. My experience
that I did hand copying Sutra at The Moss Temple in Kyoto. Compared with other
people’s, my prayer was too greedy.
