A Passage from Donald Richie

“Foreigners are curable romantics. They retain an illusion from childhood that there might be someplace into which they can finally sink to rest, some magic land, some golden age, some significantly other self. Yet his own oddness keeps the foreigner separate from every encounter. Unless he regards this as something fruitful, he cannot be considered cured.

This is the great lesson of expatriation. In Japan, I sit on the lonely heights of my own peculiarities and gaze back at the flat plains of Ohio, whose quaint folkways no longer have any power over me. And then turn and gaze at the islands of Japan, whose folkways are equally powerless in that the folk insist I am no part of them. This I regard as the best seat in the house, because from here I can compare, and comparison is the first step toward understanding.

I have learned to regard freedom as more important than belonging. This is what my years of expatriation have taught me. I have not yet graduated, but Japan with its rigorous combination of invitation and exclusion has promised me a degree. For it, I have adopted as a motto a paragraph quoted by Said from the Didascalicon of Hugh of St. Victor: "The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is a foreign land."

- Donald Richie, Viewed Sideways: Writings on Culture and Style in Contemporary Japan (1993).

On Reaching Your Dreams

Entertainment can become an addiction. You can crave it so much that it replaces all of the priorities in your life. In fact, it distracts nearly everybody from reaching their dreams.

“It’s not always easy to say no to the fun things, but the truth is that every time we choose to say yes to something that is not a priority, we are—however unintentionally—saying NO to something that should be.” - Ruth Soukup

“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“If it’s important to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.” -Jim Rohn

“If we want to find time for our dreams, we have to make them a priority.” -Ruth Soukup
