When I went to the dentist, he told me to raise my hand whenever it hurt, but when I did he waved me off and told me to hang on a minute. So what was the point of him telling me that earlier?

In my secondary school days, I was much impressed by how my hospitalised grandfather would often tell the nurses there, "Thank you, I appreciate your help."

"What made you decide to become a doctor?" "I was interested in the human body, and I wanted to help other people."

Some people even called for an ambulance because they did not know which hospital to go to, or because they had no other means of transportation.

I may seem confident, but I get extremely nervous speaking in front of people. My hands tremble, I get all tongue-tied, and sometimes I don't even know what I'm saying myself.

"I just ran into a friend today who had transferred schools a while back." "Cool!" "Yeah. Then, we talked about movies, and they suggested we go watch one sometime soon. Is that OK?" "Sure! But, is this friend a boy or a girl?" "....."

Well, I just asked him if he knew the time, because my watch has stopped, and he simply bolted.

At that time, the verbal abuse of patients by doctors was a public concern and I thought that maybe I could do a better job of communicating with patients.

"I think it is exhausting, but todays troubles will surely be rewarded" "Don't say such half-minded things, even if you don't believe them completely."

A strong veteran, having trained for tens of years, can fall to a weakling in a moment of laxness. That's what the martial arts world is.

I was surprised when I got a call from my daughter's workplace, saying that she had suddenly collapsed. She had struck her head, so I was worried, but was relieved when I was notified by the hospital that they had found nothing wrong with her.

In middle school, I was talking with my therapist, and seeing as we were having such a great talk, I suddenly thought "There's a chance", and I tried to get a kiss. But she told me to stop. Then, as I headed to my next class, I felt so embarrassed.

"What happened to your nose?" "When I was backing my car up I went to check behind me, convinced that the car window was open, and bashed my face into it!"

"I guess you just slept through our last class." "Yeah, I wasn't able to keep myself awake any longer. Do you think the teacher noticed?" "They didn't seem to notice, but you completely dozed off, so all the boys were laughing about it." "Yikes. That's probably even worse."

At that time, bicycles were just starting to get popular and, here and there, there were many unskilled beginners who ran into people and broke through their hedges.

I was getting close to the summit, but there were several boulders in my way, and trying to get over them almost did me in. Sometimes there were loose rocks all over the place, too.

When I was in middle school, I was talking with my therapist, and we had such a great talk that I thought "Maybe there's something between us", and I tried to get a kiss. But she gave me the cold shoulder and told me to stop. It was at this moment I knew I had screwed up.

For example, when two players say "a little bit thinner," one player may mean 0.3 millimeters thinner while another player may mean 0.4 millimeters.

"Your work has been causing a lot of complaints from customers; I'm ordering you to leave immediately." "Oh, up yours! I didn't want to work here in the first place."

A boy and a girl came in. I spoke to the boy, who seemed to be older than the girl.

I walked along with stroller pushers, roller-bladers, children riding bicycles, people in wheelchairs, old couples walking hand in hand, and a visually impaired man with his assistant.

All I could mumble in response was that when I was a man of fifty, my mother would lean out of the window when I left and remind me not to drive too fast.

"How was Grandpa?" "Not great. But apparently when his doctor asked him to grab their hand he held it quite firmly, so he seems to at least understand what is being said to him. I just wish he'd return to normal though."

"How's Grandpops?" "Not so good. But when the doctor told him to squeeze her hand, he seemed to do it, as if he understood what she told him. I hope he gets well soon."

"I got angry again today" "hmph" "They said some very weird things again, are you listening?"

"What are you studying at university?" "Philosophy" "Philosophy? How is that going to be useful?" "So that I can learn about the importance of things which have no use."

Comfort can spoil you. Once in a while, it can do you good to corner yourself (in a tight spot).

"I rather like heights. You know, in my last life I must have been ... an aeroplane?" "Usually that would be 'bird' there."

"You should write a novel or something." "Nah, I don't think so. I can't see myself coming up with anything good, anyways."
