Ever since the major quake struck Japan on March 11, aftershocks have been occurring everyday. I keep thinking about the moment before the quake struck: how many people were having social lunches to talk about their businesses? Maybe just as they felt the future of their businesses was full of hope, the earth suddenly began to shake violently. Then, before they knew it, the tsunami came and probably swept them away in that instant. It was truly very sad. In life, what is there to be petty about? Can we afford to wait till we are older before we start doing good? Can we wait until we retire from work and have no more business dinners...
