First Paradoxical Joy

the “Unexpected”

2007/6/32007/6/3

77

In Fact,

Life is

Filled with

“Unexpected Events”.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 12

Life

Cannot be Realized

According to

Our Plans.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 13

2007/6/32007/6/3

88

Then,

How can We

Feel Joy in Our Lives ?

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 14

Life is What Happens to You

While You are Making

Other Plans.

“Constellations”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 18

It is Important to be Aware of

Stars in The Night Sky

We can See

Many Constellations.

“Scorpio” “Orion” etc.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 19

Constellations

2007/6/32007/6/3

1111

But

These Stars are

Non-related.

They are

Far Away from Each Other.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 20

Constellation

is Also

a Key Concept

in Psychology

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 21

2007/6/32007/6/3

1212

We can Find

Meaning

in

Non-related

Unexpected Events.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 22

Business Trouble,

Accident, Illness

and Job Change in Our Life

Sometimes Teaches Us

Which Path to Go Down.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 23

For Instance

Feel Meaning

“Contradiction”

Life is Filled

with

“Contradictions”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 31

Truth of Life

2007/6/32007/6/3

1717

Life is Filled

with

Adversities, Difficulties,

Failures, Defeats,

Setbacks, and Losses.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 32

For Instance

We hope to Avoid

Such Experiences in Life.

But

An Important Question

Exists.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 33

2007/6/32007/6/3

1818

When

Did You Grow

as a Person ?

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 34

We Feel Joy When We can Say

“It was Only Because of

That Sadness

that I was able to Understand

the Depths of the Human Psyche. ”

Third Paradoxical Joy

2007/6/32007/6/3

2121

“Once-ness”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 40

We Only Live One Life,

Never-to-be-Repeated Life.

Everything in Our Life has

“Once-ness”.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 41

Truth of Life

2007/6/32007/6/3

2222

Life is not a “Game”

because it Cannot be Repeated.

Life is an “Art”

because of “Once-ness”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 42

What Does “Once-ness” Mean ?

Life as an “Improvisation”

Disappears

after a Short Moment

Never-to-be-Repeated

Art of “Once-ness”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 43

Joy of Life as an “Art”

Why the Joy Factor Now ?

Second Question

2007/6/32007/6/3

2626

Why is the Joy Factor

Important

in the Coming Society.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 50

Because,

Two Paradigm Changes

are Coming.

in Society

in Economy

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 51

2007/6/32007/6/3

2727

It is from

“Knowledge Society”

to

“Post-Knowledge Society”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 52

Paradigm Change in Society

We have

Common Understanding

of

the “Knowledge Society”.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 53

Is this

Common Understanding

Right ?

Three Paradoxes

in

the “Post-Knowledge Society”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 58

Because

The Knowledge Society is

a Society

where Knowledge Loses its Value.

Why ?

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 59

First Paradox

2007/6/32007/6/3

3131

Because

“Knowledge”

can be expressed

in Words

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 60

and because

The Internet Revolution

made it Easy

to Obtain “Knowledge”

from PCs and Mobile Devices.

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 61

“Wisdom”

Copyright 2007, SophiaBank Limited 63

2007/6/32007/6/3

3333

Only When

Our Minds are Moved.

Changes
