Life is Good

You are here: Home / Blog / Life is Good

I had a bad day today. Well, at least I thought I did…Nothing seemed to go right, although it was all “right.” I just didn’t realize it… Later I remembered what I used to do here in Japan. I used to work for another eikaiwa, one that is in deep trouble right now, one that required me to wear a suit, leave home at 11am and return home at 10pm… The alarm rang…I looked out the window and saw all those salarymen trudging to the train station, so I decided to join them for an hour of handing out flyers…In my blue jeans and Smith’s t-shirt…No neckties necessary…Other than that I didn’t go anywhere today. The students came to me. I taught a few lessons in MY classroom, enjoyed it, and made more money then I did at that “other place.” Life is good afterall. Tomorrow will be much better I am sure…

Jim
