This year, I bought Daruma doll which is a Japanese good luck charm. For those of you not familiar with the Japanese Daruma doll, you can read about it by clicking here.
I have set a 2012 goal for my English conversation (英会話) school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi and filled in one eye of my Daruma doll. I will fill in the other eye this year if I achieve my goal. I will be reminded of my goal every time I see the doll. I have even taken a picture of it with my cell phone and set it as the main display so that I am reminded of my goal every time I use my cell phone! There’ll be no escape, even on my days off! Please be patient, Daruma doll! I’ll work hard and do my best to achieve my goal and give you a second eye so that you can finish the year seeing very well! (^.^)
So what’s my goal, you must wonder? Sorry, that’s private however if I achieve my goal, there will be a larger number of students happily studying English conversation at my English conversation school in Tsukaguchi! \(^.^)/
I hope that you all achieve your own personal goals for 2012 should you have any.

Super idea, Derek–what better way to grow 長岡京 than under the watchful eye of my very own Daruma.
Good luck as you achieve your goals!

Couldn’t agree more. More power to you mate.
