A Talk by Kyonin ... for Ango ...

[Heishu]

Kyonin, your talk was fine, your English was fine, not once did I sense a person that was bragging. When you are speaking you present yourself very well and come across as one who cares. It is also nice that you seem to almost always have a smile as you speak.

I'm not sure if this is the right place, or if there will be some official thread or ceremony for the change of Shusos. But I'd like to thank you, Kyonin, for the first month! Now good luck to Yugen, thank you too!

Thanks Kyonin a very good talk. I didn't feel like you were bragging but using an example from your own life.

One day at a time.

Hey Kyonin, your talk was totally fine, including your English. I find running a good example of getting off the sofa, and you are an inspiration in how you changed your habits and got into shape. It can be translated to many other things that are hard, as you say.
But your math is off - 25 days is not half of 90. Way to go!

Hi Nindo!

The math thing was on purpose. I wanted to make the talk a little time proof so it would be valid for a few weeks.

But now since we are talking about that... I do suck at math!! LOL

Thanks Heishu!

Yes, the smile thing... it has created problems some times because since I'm almost always smiling, some folks think I'm making fun of them. But hey, whatyagonnado. Smiling is basic for life!

Keep smiling - it opens others up. Thank you for the talk.

Well, I think I can imagine a few scenarios where someone might think that way of your smile, but other than that I wouldn't worry too much about it. Like you said, whatyagonnado.

Btw, I hope you don't mind that I shared your talk on my blog. In hindsight I should have asked first, and I will next time I feel the need to share an inspiring talk. I just felt it was a good thing to share. My appreciation, and apologies.
