Listen to your heart!

I met one German guy here.
He's stayed here for eight months and he's been traveling for seven years.

He invited me to his great rolling house(it was fantastic! I really like it!) and served delicious food last Sunday afternoon. I told him that I wanted to learn something here. He told me I couldn't learn about life from this community. I wondered. Why?
And I visited him again in the evening to talk with him.


He asked me, "What do you want to do?"
"Ammm...(Actually I don't have what I really want to do. It's a big problem...) I want to do social activity."
He told me. "No,No,No.... It's wrong. It should be from you, not from outside!. What do you want FOR YOU!!"
Our talking started like that.

He was a workaholic. He worked 16~20 hours a day.
At that time, he put his feeling aside. As the result, suddenly his every feeling came to him and made him be confused when he was 35 years old. And he tried to kill himself three times.

Then he tried to live again. He started new life with one question. "What do I need?" In fact, he didn't need many things. Instead of his house, he bought a big and old car and started making his new house. And from that time, he started traveling and did only what he wanted to do.

He suggested me...

Be an egoist!

Don't think and follow your heart!
I was surprised. It was the exact same thing as my Japanese stupid friend had told me before!

Don't work! Live for fun!
He told me, if I do something I really like, money, people will come to me.

"What should you do? Don't think! It comes up from your heart. Listen to your heart!"

Go with my gut!


Tomorrow morning, he will leave here to travel Asia(He likes Asia).
Can we meet again? I hope we can meet again somewhere in Asia.
