Japanese Numbers

Hundreds (100, 200, 300 so on)

100 is 百 (sen) and as what happened with 10 十 (juu). To say 200, 300, 400 and so on, you simply put the number before it. Pattern: number + 百 (hyaku) 200 is 二百 500 is 五百 Take note about the irregulars in hundreds though. There are 3 of them 300 is 三百 san byaku 600 is 六百 roppyaku 800 is 八百 happyaku What happened here is 6 and 8 are contracted and the ひ (hi) in ひゃく is turned into ぴ (pi) and び (bi). Irregular number like this will show up a lot when counting things. But you will get to remember them the more you use it.

…………………………………………

Thousand (1000, 2000, so on)

1000 is 千 (sen). The pattern is similar to tens and hundreds.  2000 is 二千 ni sen 8000 is 八千 hachi sen Things to note: 4000 is ALWAYS yon sen 7000 is ALWAYS nana sen Irregulars: 3000 is 三千 san zen 8000 is 八千 hassen

…………………………………………

Ten Thousands

10.000 is 一万 (ichi man). Unlike 十(10), 百 (100) and 千 (1000), you need to mentioned the 一 (ichi) to say 10.000 Simply replace the 一 (ichi) with another number you want to say. There are no irregulars in ten thousands :D 20.000 is 二万 ni man 50.000 is 五万 go man Things to note: 40000 is ALWAYS yon man 70000 is ALWAYS nana man

Kanojo wa Rokurokubi

Six simple rituals: 1. Drink a glass of water when you wake up. Your body loses water while you sleep, so you’re naturally dehydrated in the morning. A glass of water when you wake helps start your day fresh. 2. Define your top 3. Every morning ask yourself, “What are the top three most important tasks that I will complete today?” Prioritizes your day accordingly and don’t sleep until the Top 3 are complete. 3. The 50/10 Rule. Solo-task and do more faster by working in 50/10 increments. Use a timer to work for 50 minutes on only one important task with 10 minute breaks in between. Spend your 10 minutes getting away from your desk, going outside, calling friends, meditating, or grabbing a glass of water. 4. Move and sweat daily. Regular movement keeps us healthy and alert. It boosts energy and mood, and relieves stress. 5. Express gratitude. Gratitude fosters happiness. Each morning, think of at least five things you’re thankful for. In times of stress, pause and reflect on these things. 6. Reflect daily. Bring closure to your day through 10 minutes of reflection. Asks yourself, “What went well?” and “What needs improvement?”

If you can dream it, you can be it. If you can see it in your mind, you can most definitely see it in your reality. There is no difference between dreams and reality except for the actions required to take you from where to currently are to where it is that you wish to go.

I started animation at the age of 11. And I finished my first film when I was 14.

Sounds nice but it's not really encouraging for me. I'm 17, I want to be an animation director one day and I only started drawing this year.

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.  At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer. 

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.   At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 

Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough. 

You can do it. Whatever it is.
