Dr Suess had links with Japan. Unpleasant ones in the 40s as he was a propagandist, but I suppose he was a man of his time. More pleasant ones later after he visited Japan. Horton Hears a Who is a parable of the American postwar occupation and is dedicated to a Japanese friend. I go with Shakespeares warning. "There is a tide in the affairs of men Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries." or even the earlier "Carpe Diem" Good words but hard to follow I find. You are an inspiration for someone following their dream... to a far and distant land. Well, there is another Japan link.

I go with Shakespeares warning.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.”

or even the earlier “Carpe Diem”

Good words but hard to follow I find.

You are an inspiration for someone following their dream… to a far and distant land.
