I would say the difficult skill is learning a like-minded skill. A like-minded skill is about learning to feel love for this racket, not only just speaking but also learning how to find pleasure in all aspects of life. It's like when you learn about this, you become a giver. You have to learn how to do it. But what I guess the culture can do now is that it's very difficult to learn. It's very challenging when you talk with them. For those who are experiencing it, they sometimes understand what you are saying. That's why it's very hard because of the accidents; hospitalization is very hard. But eventually, if you try to tackle a problem to make it real, you will succeed, and you will learn about the laws and the same opportunities to figure out how some things could be better for you to learn in that way. Thank you. We'll be back. Just keep going.

Now like-minded skill is that we want to learn to let you feel love about this racket, not only just speaking but also learning how to learn about pleasure or how to learn all of life. It’s like when you learn about this, it’s when you are a gosh-giver. You have to learn how to do it. You have to learn how to do it. But what I guess the culture can do now is that it’s very difficult to learn. But it’s very challenging when you talk with them. For them, who is experiencing it sometimes, they understand you about what you are saying. That’s why it’s very hard because of the accidents, the hospitalization is very hard.
