Journal 10: Advice

My two brothers are people usually giving me advice. I've gotten much advice from them. And most all of them are helpful for my life. One of them is reading lots book. Both of them like reading and they always reading various kinds of books. When I was in a high school, second brother told me read lots books, if you don't have anything to do, and he said "Reading books is an investment in myself" Before he said to me, I didn't like reading. However, I tried to follow his the advice, and gradually it become my new hobby. Now I love reading books. And I understand the meaning of his word "Reading books is an investment in myself". I can learn many things which can't learn at school or internet by reading book.

However, I rarely was sought advice from friends. Sometime my junior friends sought me advice. At that time I always said "Don't regret later, so do something you really want to do" It's also my motto. Even if you would regret, did it, and regret. The worst  thing is that didn't do anything and regret. I follow this word, so I usually gave my friends this word as my answer.

Journal 9: American Food

I think there are no food American created first. For example hamburger was made in Germamy, Pizza was made in Italy. American people just Modeled the original food, and changed a little for them. But these food also famous as American food worldwide. Many people cognize these food as American food, actually I'm one of them. Thus when my friends say to me"let's eat American food", I think up it means hamburger or pizza. In additional the image of my American food is high calorie or not healthy. Not only keep I from eating American food also food product made in the US, because they are so sweet or salty.
Thus I could guess why more people are fat than Japanese. Obviously the reason is food. I know many people who got fat, after they came to the US. Fortunately I've tried not to eat unhealthy food, so I still can keep my weight. In short my image of American food is unhealthy. Actually I like pizza and hamburger, but eating them too much will bring me bad result.
