Rising Sun's Secret

I am watching on the television with my brother and sisters in the living room and the program was that of Anthony Bourdain, the title of which i can't remember. The episode we were watching was located in Osaka, Japan. So like any other travel shows in the Travel and Living channel the host goes around the place. He walked around the streets and entered shops and restaurants along with two Japanese guys who served probably as his guide. The three of them entered a tiny food shop or a small restaurant where fried vegetables and meat are served. It's somehow a version of the street food that we normally see here in the Philippines but it's way way cleaner than the ones found here. And then they bought food of course. Street foods here would always have the dip of different flavors right? The same thing goes for that certain food shop. But they had one rule that is strictly observed for all the customers: You only get to dip your food once in the container. So here is where the funny thing happens. Bourdain takes a bite after dipping it and yeah he did love the taste of it. He seemed to feel like breaking the rule of the place and attempts to dip his now bitten food in the dip container. His food was an inch or two away from the container when suddenly....
A Big Fan ( the one which is made of paper) landed squarely on Bourdain's head!
And yeah he was shocked haha. He must have thought his "dipping" will be tolerated in the place.Turns out it was one of his guides who hit him with the gigantic fan haha. And funny his face turned red immediately when he was hit haha. If you get to see the program it would definitely look funny. But besides the fun of it we get to see how discipline is shown by the Japanese even in that small food shop.
It's actually not a surprise how Japan has reached economic success and evolved overwhelmingly in the past years. It's not their natural resources that made them this big. Japan has not started as a wealthy nation either. Their key to such marvel is their discipline. It makes them hardworking. It lessens crime rate. It creates a cleaner community. It creates fulfilled people not only because of the success they are currently experiencing but also because of the promotion of their well-being, which I believe is much more important.
As a matter of fact, I still believe our country still has a chance of getting out from a whirlpool of poverty and the like. As the saying goes, as long as there is one individual who believes and has faith and discipline, then nothing is impossible.

Therefore I believe it is time...
