I typically adore Lao Zhuang philosophy, but today, I'd like to share a bit about myself.
My usual spiel involves advocating for the integration of philosophical thinking into our work, tossing around terms like serendipity and bricolage.
Alongside that, I conduct training for the local chapter of the All Japan Association of Realtors, and I also work as a corporate seminar lecturer. However, this time, at the request of a corporation, I've been granted the opportunity to lecture at a university.
This lecture marks the inaugural offering of the new academic year. As part of the curriculum, I'll be delivering a talk on liberal arts, weaving together aspects of real estate and academia.
Given that all my clients are foreign nationals, I aim to infuse a global perspective into the content. It's a delight to have autonomy over the lecture's content, aligning perfectly with the concept of serendipity.
The course targets second-year economics students and above, with an expected enrollment of around 100 students. I'll be speaking twice during the first semester, with other lectures delivered by primarily financial institution lecturers.
After the lectures conclude, the content will be available on the university website for further reference.
In recent times, humanities and social sciences have been overshadowed by natural sciences. However, within the Faculty of Economics, we aim to incorporate philosophy and literature into discussions surrounding the real estate industry.
Together with students, we'll ponder the significance of philosophical thinking and adopting a bird's eye view, particularly in decisions like renting versus buying property.
It's been 12 years since I've lectured students, and I'm eagerly anticipating this opportunity. I suggest that the lecture be tailored towards individuals in their 40s or older, as they tend to resonate more deeply with subjects like philosophy as they accumulate life experience.
As Confucian scholar Hosoi Heishu of the mid-Edo period once said, "Study, thought, and action go together to make a good thing." Naturally, I'm keen to learn from the students to avoid being trapped in the "idola specus."
Apologies for the lengthy message😊
