"If you make no mistake, how do you learn?"

"If you make no mistake, how do you learn?"

Mistakes are not just errors—they're opportunities. When we avoid failure at all costs, we often avoid growth. True learning happens when we try, stumble, reflect, and adapt. Each mistake is a mirror showing us what needs attention, a stepping stone guiding us toward improvement.

Perfection might look appealing, but it rarely teaches us anything new. It is in the missteps that we discover our gaps in knowledge, challenge our assumptions, and build resilience. If you never make a mistake, it means you're staying safely within the boundaries of what you already know. And staying in that comfort zone means stagnation, not growth.

So instead of fearing mistakes, embrace them. They’re signs that you’re trying, learning, and moving forward.

OMOTENASHI おもてなし

6月

22日

When I checked into my hotel in Japan, I noticed a small 折り鶴 (orizuru)—a folded paper crane—placed on the windowsill. At first glance, it may seem like nothing special. But to me, it reflected a quiet sense of care and attention. A small gesture, yes, but one that showed how much the hotel values its guests.

This is what the Japanese call “omotenashi.”

What is omotenashi?
Omotenashi is the Japanese spirit of hospitality—providing service with sincerity, grace, and attention to detail, all without expecting anything in return. It’s about anticipating the needs of others and making them feel truly welcome, often through subtle, thoughtful acts like this.

Beware of Fake DocuSign Emails

Beware of Fake DocuSign Emails

We recently received an email that appeared to come from DocuSign—but it wasn’t. This is a phishing attempt designed to trick you into entering your DocuSign login information.

Important:
If you receive an unexpected email asking you to review or sign a document via DocuSign, be cautious. Do not enter your password unless you are absolutely sure the request is legitimate.

If you suspect you've entered your credentials on a fake site, change your password immediately to protect your account.

Stay vigilant and always double-check the sender’s email address and the URL of any links you click.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 342 Build Your Own Database: New System for Business Efficiency

6月

Build Your Own Database: New System for Business Efficiency

When you hear the word' database,' do you think it’s something just for experts? That’s actually not true. For example, entering and submitting travel expenses in Excel is a form of database operation. However, people often create a new file every time and manually compile the data, which takes time and effort.

At PSPINC, we’re developing a new system designed to make these everyday tasks simpler and more efficient.
It’s a SaaS (Software as a Service) tool that lets anyone build custom databases using easy-to-design forms.

Key Features

No programming required: Just set up the fields on the screen, and your form and database are ready to go.
Reusable forms: Create an expense form once and reuse it as many times as you need, saving a significant amount of time.
Easy data utilization: The system will automatically organize and store all input data and be available to export to Excel.
Wide range of uses: Use the system in countless ways, including tracking expenses, creating customer lists, managing inventory, and handling reservations.

And there’s another major goal behind this development:

Scalability with external integration in mind
We’re developing this system with API (Application Programming Interface) functionality, letting it integrate with external programs and other business systems.

For example:

Automatically connect with your accounting system to record expenses.
Automatically send data to your customer relationship management (CRM).
Immediately collect application information by linking to your website.

From helping small businesses and sole proprietors to serving as part of a large-scale enterprise system, we aim to create a flexible, scalable tool that meets a wide range of needs.

Currently, the development is in its final stages, and we plan to begin recruiting test users soon.
If you feel limited by Excel-based management or are looking to make better use of your data, we encourage you to stay tuned.

The first step to improving operations is rethinking repetitive tasks.
At PSPINC, we're here to help you take that crucial first step.

MRI Today

6月

18日

I had an MRI done today at the facility near the Virginia Mason Issaquah.
The purpose was to check whether the blood flow to my new kidney is being properly cooled and maintained.

If the blood flow is found to be insufficient, they may need to insert a stent to ensure a stable and secure supply to the kidney.

I don’t have the results yet, but I should know soon.
Even if a stent is needed, it’s a relatively minor procedure, so I’m not too worried.

June 16, 2025 Today's Wallpaper

6月

17日

Today's wallpaper is a photo of playground equipment taken at a park called Robinswood. Modern playgrounds are designed with safety in mind—soft wood chips now cover the ground to cushion falls, and the equipment itself is built to prevent injuries, unlike the playgrounds of the past.

I used to love jumping off the top of jungle gyms into the sandbox. That would probably be considered dangerous now. I also remember the metal slides in the park—they were made of stainless steel, and on hot summer days, they’d get so hot they could burn your skin. There were spinning playground rides too, and I remember being thrown off at high speed, along with a few others. You don’t see those anymore—calling them "play equipment" might be too generous; they were more like weapons!

We often got scraped and bruised playing at the park, but kids today rarely experience that. I used to enjoy climbing trees with my friends and jumping off from high branches, but I never see children doing that nowadays. Kids today seem a lot softer. I can’t help but wonder—will they be okay when they grow up?

今日のウォールペーパーは「ロビンズウッド」という公園で撮影した遊具の写真です。最近の遊具は、安全性が重視されていて、地面には転んでも痛くないように柔らかい木くずが敷かれていて、遊具自体も昔のように怪我をするようなものは見られません。

私は昔、ジャングルジムのてっぺんから砂場に飛び降りるのが大好きでした。今なら「危ない」と言われそうですね。公園にあったステンレス製の滑り台は、夏になると熱くなりすぎて、滑るとお尻が火傷しそうになったのを覚えています。ぐるぐる回る遊具もあって、ものすごいスピードで回していたので、私を含めて何人かが振り飛ばされることもありました。そんな遊具、今ではもう見かけません。もはや遊具というより“武器”と言ったほうが正しいかもしれません。

昔は公園でよく擦りむいたり、怪我をしたものです。でも今の子供たちは、そういう経験をすることがほとんどありません。私は木に登って、そこから飛び降りるのが好きでしたが、今の子供たちでそんなことをしているのを見たことがありません。今の子たちは本当に“ソフト”ですよね。こんなことで、大人になって大丈夫なんでしょうか？
