The Way of The Guerrilla

I have finished to read the Japanese version of "The Way of the Guerrilla: Achieving Success and Balance as an Entrepreneur in the 21st Century (Guerrilla Marketing)" by Jay Conrad Levinson. Amazon.com says "According to Jay Conrad Levinson, to flourish into the next millennium companies must encourage managers and employees to achieve equilibrium between their personal and professional lives while they simultaneously develop relationships with customers and suppliers that build trust and loyalty. The Way of the Guerrilla: Achieving Success and Balance as an Entrepreneur in the 21st Century outlines his blueprint for this corporate future through four distinct sections: The Goals, The Setting, The Tools, and The Secrets."

This book was written almost 10 years ago, but I think the principle of the way of business, marketing or life is always same and the author emphasizes this universal truths. If you see the English title, it seems this is written for entrepreneur but every business person can learn the way of the guerrilla.

"American business idioms" by David A.Thayne

I have finished to read "American business idioms", which was written in Japanese by David A. Thayne and published by Nikkei Business Library in 2003. Title is also in Japanese, so this English title is my translation, sorry. Japanese students are learning English at least from junior high school to high school for 6 years, but teachers or school textbook doesn't teach phrases like this. The author puts business idioms at various situations into one volume. Only 200 pages pocket edition is easy to bring everywhere and turn pages from time to time. It also has some explanations of difference of culture between Japanese and American.

A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer

I finished reading A Child Called "It" and following 2 books by Dave Pelzer. I don't have to explain this series, because they are already best sellers some time ago. I have a lot of respect for the author on his way of thinking and lifestyle. I'm interested in these stories due to the location of the stories. It is Northern California where I have lived from 1999 to 2002. I don't think I abused my children　by physical force, but I asked myself again and again whether I did it verbally or not.

"Foundation and Earth" by Isaac Isimov

I finished reading Isaac Isimov's "Foundation and Earth"(1986) in Japanese. The fifth novel in Asimov's Foundation series. Councilman Golan Trevize goes in search of legendary Earth, all references to which have been erased from galactic libraries. Finally he found the Mother Earth and met 20,000 years old robot, Daneel Olivaw! Foundation series is a long story. Asimov wrote "The Caves of Steel"(1954) and Robot Daneel Olivaw appeared first time. Yes, Daneel was the real key person (robot) in Asimov's long novel of vast univers.
