A Small Preparation for Mr. Kitashiro's Lecture

Hi :) Since I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Kitashiro, I think I'll do a brief preparation for the coming lecture on Monday by looking the two handouts we received on Friday. Looking at the last slide, the word "ATM" caught my eyes. Hmm... I know this... but why am I familiar with this word? I was like the man in the picture above.

In a few minutes I was reminded of our entrance ceremony here at ICU. Do you remember him giving a congratulatory speech(shukuji in Japanese) there? He talked about his motto ATM, which stands for "Akaruku(Cheerfully), Tanoshiku(Enjoyably), Maemukini(Positively)."
His tips for a global leader relates to Shakleton's strategies. For example, the second one "Set a goal and focus on short-term execution" is similar to Leading at the Edge's first strategy, "Never lose sight of the ultimate goal, and focus energy on short-term objectives." There seems to be a connection between Mr. Kitashiro and Shackleton, both as one of the greatest leaders.
The articles about him tell that he keenly feels university should train and cultivate "leaders." So far I am looking at the handouts and the web pages about him, but I am going to see him on Monday :) I'm sure we can get great tips to be a future leader during his lecture! So excited!!

    Hi, Sayaka! I love your post. If you did not refer the word "ATM(unofficial meaning)", I would have forgot all the thing he taught me there. Making such joke will also shows that his ability of humor or lighten up as what we learned. From these characteristics, we must have lot to learn from him!-excited!

    Hi Sayaka,

    Thanks for the fine posts, and so nicely illustrated! I am so impressed that you prepped for Mr. Kitashiro's lecture too, and now you will likely always remember ATM.
