Well, I have a little unusual report. In conclusion, we decided to move to Singapore from our family in New Zealand. Hi everyone, how are you? I'm an overseas Y-Papa. I live in Shanghai and New York, and now I live in New Zealand with my family.
0:23
I will explain the world from the corner of the world from my own point of view. Today is not the usual commentary, but a report on my own story. Moreover, for a while, I will be the only one to move with three children. Because my wife seems to have a nurse job here, and she is scheduled to stay in New Zealand in the future. So first, my father and these four people, I will take care of the three over there.
0:52
Well, if it's about a year, my wife may come to Singapore. That's how it started. And this is about the end of this month. It's already a mess, and it's suddenly decided, and it's like, "Okay, let's go." Well, I decided. Since it's a big deal, I don't know why I'm doing this today.
1:11
I will talk about three things that I decided to do. First, why is the environment so important? I will start from a little exaggerated point. You and I think that our bodies are ours, and that they are there from the beginning.
1:35
But the reason why the body is made is that if you look closely, it's made from what you've eaten so far. In short, what makes your body is something that comes in from the outside. Of course. I think the same goes for brain. What you can think of is not decided by yourself, but by what your brain has received so far.
2:04
The things that come into your eyes, the things that come into your ears, the things that come into your mind are the food for information, and they are formed by your own thoughts for the first time. If you want to broaden your horizons, it's not about trying to broaden your horizons, but about changing the things that come into your mind.
2:25
In short, it is very important to have a lot of information. The environment is a whole bunch of information, so I think that organizing the environment will be the closest way to fostering the way of thinking. Of course, I think there is also the idea of seeing the world through YouTube. In short, even if you block the outside and think only with your head, your brain will not create new ideas.
2:53
I think AI is not very smart, but AI has too few senses to receive information. I've always thought that children need English, but I think it's because everyone can speak English. But why is it English? My answer is this. English itself is not the purpose.
3:21
英語って世界で一番使われてる言語なんですね。 ってことは、英語っていう入り口が一つあるだけで、 この先の人生で触れられるもの、出会えるものの機会を最大限にできる。 本もニュースも人との会話も、脳に入ってくるものの量と種類がガラッと変わるんです。 狙ってるのはそっちなんですね。 じゃあ、AIの時代だし、翻訳できれば同じじゃないの?って思うでしょ? でも、そうでもないんですよ。
3:52
When you translate it, you end up receiving it in Japanese. Even if you say the same thing, it's a little different in terms of how you feel when you translate it directly with those words and once translated.
4:08
So, the translation of the words that come in is irreplaceable. This is quite a big problem for me. The second is, who is in charge of changing the words that come in? Children only see what's inside their heads. And the information that comes in from outside is what makes them think.
4:32
He sees the world in front of him, and he sees only what he wants to see, and he thinks that's all. Well, even adults have such a thing. If that's the case, I think it's the role of the parent to change what comes in from the outside. Prepare options that are not reflected in the eyes of children.
4:54
Basically, parents are the only ones who can change the environment. This is what we actually came to New Zealand after leaving Japan. I found out after coming here that my oldest son did a great job. He had the basics of studying in Japan, and had a lot of money to study. He saw a new world here, learned English, and now he is studying at a school in Singapore.
5:22
I saw outside while I was holding Japanese things, so I had a habit of looking at things from a different perspective. But to be honest, the two people below me were a little anxious. These kids are from here, so they've become completely native to New Zealand. Then, the things that come in will be New Zealand-style, and the structure will not change much from growing up in Japan to Japan. It's just that I can speak English.
5:52
So I decided to change the language I could understand. That's how I got to Singapore. I was also worried about my academic ability. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I don't have any English or Singaporean skills. I'm not a great English speaker because I'm overseas. I just decided that I should keep my English. I can move to Singapore.
6:20
If you get stuck in the idea that the way of thinking is decided by the information that comes in, the argument of how to live is completely different depending on what is the right answer, and I think it's okay to do it as much as you can. In short, if you can be happy, anything is fine. To get happiness, you need skills and strategies for that. I always think so. By the way, I've been to Singapore a few times,
6:50
It's not a place as rich as Japan, but it's like a very organized Disneyland. So it's not like I'm going to bury my bones here for the rest of my life, but I'm looking at it from a distance that the education of children is one step away. The children over there are going to go to an international school.
7:14
I'm still not sure what it is. The third and last one is completely my personal story. To be honest, raising children and education takes a lot of time and effort to spend. It's like eating something from your mouth and eating it from your gut. I often wonder what kind of training I'm doing.
7:41
困難だったらそりゃ少子化にもなるよなとも思う。 でも親になってしまうとなんなんでしょうね。
7:48
I think I'm just wasting my time and money for my kids. But I also have a lot of money from my kids. If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't have come to NZ or Singapore. I wouldn't have been able to do this. I'm not that hardworking. If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't have been able to live my life.
8:17
I was trying to give my kids an environment, but in fact, it was the kids who changed my environment the most. In that sense, marriage is the same. I think the same thing for my wife. If my wife and children weren't there, I think my life would have ended by playing online games happily every day.
8:39
That's fine. It's hard, but I'm very grateful to my family for making my life so colorful. I'm hungry and I'll do my best over there. That was the report. If you like this video, please subscribe to the channel. I read all the comments. See you.
