KEI MAKES IT SIMPLE

2023 is at the door knocking with loads of opportunities! Could this be your year of luck? Kei is about to blow your mind with good news. Be on the lookout. If you had a chance to skim through my previous article, you have come across the MEXT scholarship program. Worry not if you still need to read it; you can go back and check it out. Please look at what you stand to gain from—a fully-funded scholarship. I am sure Santa already spoilt you with gifts, but some more won't hurt.  Today I have some solutions to some of the dilemmas you are going through in search of green pastures. Should I be 25 years and below to get a scholarship? Wait, must I have an undergraduate degree to join one of the most prestigious universities in Japan? The answer to both questions is NO!! What is a teachers' training scholarship? The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) of Japan offers scholarships to international teachers who wish to research school education at

The countdown has begun, and hurray, 2022, is about to go down! Count your fingers, and, yeah, it is four days left. I feel excited and same time, anxious, a mixed feeling. What does 2023 have to offer? Myriads of thoughts blow up my mind.     A cup of green tea (お茶)would probably suffice to harmonize the views. But no! I must settle my train of thought and derive an ideal goal. I bet you are in the same boat as I am and most likely skimming through the article for some solutions. The thought of growing older not only frightens us but also imprisons our feelings. Uncertainties render our brain cells captives, and the fear of Limbo puts salt in the wound.

Pat yourself at the back if you remember. If you have forgotten (it's okay), you can go back and have a quick look at it. Let us examine s

Are you prepared for 2023? Do you intend to join a college/ University, an internship, graduate school, a new company, a new job, a business, move abroad, or even improve your status quo? What are some thoughts that have crossed your mind? We have jotted down our goals and are excited to jump to the new year. We have a few days to close the 2023 chapter and evaluate ourselves. If you are not proud of your achievements, push yourself a little. The most important thing is that every day we wake up, we have another chance to be better than yesterday.  This year may have been fulfilling to you and unrewarding to some others. Regardless, to human beings, change is inevitable. How prepared are you for the 2023 goals you have listed or in your mind? I joined a course on finding life purpose (Ikigai), and it would be great if I shared with you some of the peculiar lessons I learned.  While the four tips discussed below are essential, it's worth noting that other factors that may influence

Are you looking for opportunities abroad? It is Christmas time, and the mood is all set. I hope father Christmas has visited you; if not, don't get worried, we are in the same boat. Like anyone else, we are eager for the new year, and it's that time to sit down and reflect and write down 2024 goals. My new year goal is to travel to Hawaii (Hawaii, you heard me). If you have yet to decide or are in the process, here is the place for you. I will keep posting as many opportunities as possible, so be on the lookout for this blog. From personal experience, most people are determined and ambitious but have few opportunities. Why? Do you have a guess? Yes, you are right; the answer is the information gap. Despite the technological advancement that allows people to communicate seamlessly through various communication channels, significant information gaps persist.  We must acknowledge the critical role that the internet play in passing information in a fraction of a second, and we must
