Japanese thinking!

Last Friday's class, we discussed about " Deru kui wa utareru ".
This discussion was very interesting.
" Deru kui wa utareru " is Japanese thinking,
we also have many Japanese thinking.
This time, I introduce " Nagai mono ni wa makarero " to you.

" Nagai mono ni wa makarero " means
" Don't kick against the picks " in English.
I think this proverb shows Japanese thinking.
This proverb's definision is this:
we should not against a person who has enormous power.
For instance, in company, Japanese people never against their boss
even if his or her thinking is incorrect.
Foreigner might think this Japanese belief is unusual, and I think so too.
I think people should say mistakes are mistakes !
Although I think so, Japanese people tend to respect seniority system.
That is Japanese culture.

Though Japanese culture is sometimes considered strange,
our belief and behaviour was admired by foreigner these days
because although we suffered from an big earthquake,
people kept rule. This Japanese thinking is wonderful !
We should be proud of ourselves!
