I also think it’s important for us to remember our own progress. How far we have already come in reaching our goal. Especially when it comes to learning languages, I think it is easy to put ourselves down and see all the things we /can’t/ do yet, while completely forgetting all the progress we have made and all the things we /can/ do already. Since you basically could learn something new in a language every day for the rest of your life, I think it really is important to remember all the little progress we make too! Like for me for example I was not able to read or speak even a word of Korean a couple years ago, now I’m able to have conversations with Korean people and get by in the country pretty well without always needing to use a translator app. I still have a very long way to go, but I also think it’s good to remind ourselves of our own progress and the things we /can/ already do every now and then :)

Thankful and grateful I am every day for many blessings and your positive energy is also a blessing that I am thankful for!

Naoya San, is it raining over there? I heard there is a typhoon going on. Stay safe❤

When pursuing my goals, i used to get fixated and get obsessed until i achieve it, but since a few years, i just came to enjoy the process of goals getting fullfilled. Like, i stopped viewing life as a competition and more like something beautiful i had to experience. That's the kinda mindset i have now😊

Day 52: I officially joined 3clubs today and it's sports (chess), arts, and music (piano). I have no idea how I'm gonna make those work because that's alot for me. But I will try my hardest.

I love japanese guys

this isn't easy to say, I'm lonely I'm lost and I'm scared, and i just need someone to hold me and love me.

It is my biggest challenge by far. It's ruining my ability to focus.

Absolutely agree with you, my sentiments exactly……thank you for reconfirming a good solution to regaining focus👍🫶

that's really important. health comes first. You should never over work. Be careful of health and keep going with the flow 😃

Naoya, make vid abt books here. Have u read or listened to any that have changed u and How do u feel about reading?

recently i always say "Don't rush ". I've been dealing with burnout since the beginning of this year, and it's been 5 months. I feel this way bc I've been taking 2023 very seriously. I've been working hard on myself and i didn't give myself any rest. I pushed myself every day to do productive things bc i thought that if i'm not doing good things or working, then i'm wasting my time. What happened to me at the beginning of 2024? yup, I'm not longer care about things that i really like to do or are meaningful for me, i experienced burnout mentally. I lost passion for things I used to love doing a year ago. For example, whenever I want to start working on a goal that I've set for 2024, i already feel tired. Then i realized i need to take a break, so now, thankfully, i have come to realize the importance of doing nothing. For the past month, i've been unproductive, but Alhamdulillah bc during this time, i've learned new things about myself. I've noticed that even doing nothing is productive, cuz now my mind is clearer and i've come up with new beneficial ideas, like starting a new business, which i didn't expect. I also listen to podcasts and read books, and I stay away from social media during this rest time. The results have been amazingly fortunate, and i'm grateful for going through this.

こんにちは、ナオヤくん、動画がれてありがとう！。 本当ね！ 私も、いつももし何もやりなくて時間の無駄と思う。 それについて同じことが考える！ I'm trying to learn Japanese, so sorry if it sounds awkward 😅

you're beautiful.

How is it possible that every time I have a problem, you make a video and solve it? Are you watching me?🧐🧐

Day 51: After school I rushed at my brother's computer to try out digital art. I'm still learning though and it's so fun. I think that I actually prefer digital art.

I really appreciated you brother. You always gives a lots positive and share our experiences or feeling it's a good thing our other person because a lots of watching your video make feel happy because your always feel happy and confident. I will also stating my journey for learning English. Thanks you brother for daily uploading your a vedio. 😊😊😊

I really enjoy your videos! They’re always so positive and uplifting😁😁

I have my cup of NaOya im happy with the camaraderie of others who have their cup of NaOya !!!

Although im trying to learn Japanese right now, English is my first language and i'd love to join something like that!! especially if Naoya is making it~ i know there'll be his passion behind it ^u^

At the beginning of learning English, I always tried to be perfect and avoid making mistakes. I later realized that making mistakes actually helped me a lot in improving my English in all aspects. I still make mistakes, which is good bc I learn from them. I've read that good people make mistakes. as I can see there's a difference, u become more comfortable while speaking and more confident.

No goals. Set intentions. You intend to lose weight or become healthier. That way it will also cover life style changes, like food quality/quantity. Shift your mindset! ❤

such a nice idea! wish you all the best!

That's a good idea

I also want to be part of a global community that can support eachother.

Hi Naoya, I just want to thank you for opened up with your thoughts here in YT. One of your videos appeared in my algorithm and I didn't think your channel was going to be like this. I started to take serious my English recently bc I'm trying to figure out who I am, and if someday I could be free to be myself at least in this language. That makes me kinda embarrased so I keep it to myself only, but I'm really glad there's someone who walked a similar path I'm starting now. Tysm. Your videos are so calming, I'll be looking forward for future content ^^

I am so excited for this!

Day 51: I got invited to join a chess tournament, I'm so happy and excited. Because it will be my second time playing on a different school. I'm not that good at chess anymore because I haven't played in a very long time but I am willing to give my all on this tournament.

Naoya, we are here for you and we love and support your efforts.🫶🏻🫰🏻

you pronounced it perfectly..

You can just make s discord community.

Looking forward to your community creation!

Hi Naoya-san :) I'm a native speaker from Australia (BA). Just wanted to let you know that your favourite CZcamsr, Vinh Giang, definitely sounds like a native English speaker to me. He sounds like someone who grew up in Australia (I know his parents migrated from Vietnam). I would say that his accent is a "neutral" Australian accent. It is definitely not "rough" or "bogan". However, it's probably not "posh" or upperclass either. As you like him so much, I think his accent would be a very good one to copy (if you like the Australian accent). Love your videos. Good luck with your communication journey! 　よろしくお願いします！　😊

it will be very great! walking really is a very good habit. wish you all the best!

How much time do you spend for gym time in addition to an hour walk?

動画のくれてありがとう、ナオヤくん🫶🏻 Your channel is a blessing! 日本語の勉強が始まっている、間違いがたくさんやるよ！😂 でも、それはやりないのを無理。The difficult thing is to accept it Everyone in life encounters some kind of monsters, that can be anything, and facing them makes you grow a lot. My monster was the "not worth enough" one, which took years of fighting to calm it down a bit

Hi Naoya, I'm Vietnamese. I have just known your youtube channel recently. I love Japan and Japanese ❤❤❤.

Day 50: another boring day at school, all we did was practice our dance for our upcoming tournament

Japan is so nice to walk in, unlike my car dependent suburb

The words are coming a lot faster to you now. It sounds great to me. It has been said that movement, sunlight, and cold temperature change(shower) will stimulate momentum/productivity in your day. I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow,

I agree cold shower is so refreshing after a long day. All the best for your new adventure, Naoya san😊 looking forward for ur thoughts on the results!

another fascinating topic!! I was very active as a little girl, but then I became lazy cuz of a lifestyle change. but, a year ago, I started to take exercise seriously, and my workout journey began. Since then, I've been in love with exercising. It has changed me physically and mentally. I am proud of myself for making this decision it's a life changer. One of the things I can do is to show myself the love that I deserve. I really encourage u or anyone who wants to start this journey bc it is worth investing in your body to stay healthy mentally and then physically. u r doing great Naoya, No worries.

As humans we often get excited about the results and dream of success, but the real challenge lies in accepting the sacrifices and hard work needed to achieve our goals. Goal setting is not just about choosing the reward we want; it’s about being realistic and honest about the costs we’re willing to pay. In short, it’s easy to desire the outcome, but the true test is whether we're prepared to handle the challenges required to reach that outcome. To achieve our goals, we shouldn't push ourselves so hard just to see the outcome. We need to enjoy the process along the journey, as you said. I prefer to break down my big goals into smaller ones and start from there until I reach them. Also, it’s important to focus on one goal at a time, as setting too many goals can lead to confusion and a lack of motivation. It’s important to start and focus on one goal first, and then proceed to the next from the most important to the least. When setting a goal, instead of asking yourself what you want to achieve, consider what kind of pain you're willing to endure.it's important. For me, I try not to chase or wait for the result of my efforts. I believe that I should just do it and leave it, trusting that God knows I worked hard and will give me what is right for me. "After we do it, we always say 'inshAllah' because we know that if it’s God's will, things will happen.” And remember, it's never too late to start working towards your goals, even if there are only four months left. Even small tasks can contribute to accomplishing your goals, keep going.

Day 49: My parents had a fight earlier in the morning today, I woke up early because they were so loud. I listened at them at first, and my dad sounded so angry that I thought he was hurting mom, when I got out of my room to try and calm down my dad I saw him throwing a spoon at mom, and I noticed my mom crying. I said to my dad "why are you guys fighting" (not in english of course) My dad said "it's just talking, it's natural" LIKE BITCH I JUST SAW YOU THROWING A SPOON AT MOM, DON'T PLAY DUMB AT ME NOW. It's not talking if mom is crying, it's abuse. I helped dad calmed down and let them talk. I was at my mom's side the whole time in case dad hurts her. I cried while listening, dad sounded so angry. Mom only made ine slight mistake and he's acting like he never made mistake on his life, he was acting like he's always right. Dad sounded so scary when mad now I know what my mom feels because they fight everytime.I was just trying to help mom but I accidentally joined their fight. When I started crying that was the time my dad calmed down. He was finally realizing what he's doing to us. And now I think I know their weakness, and it's me. Sometimes I hate dad so much but sometimes I love him, but I'm starting to wonder if she actually loves mom or he's just using her like a coworker for his job. I've never been so mad and emotional writing something. This is my first time and hopefully last.

This is a good reminder for someone like me who doesn't know when to stop learning and start doing... Thank u for your quiet wisdom, Naoya!

A cup full of NaOya !!!! mmmmmm

What is "aha moment" is it like "eureka" moment?

Sending a big heart form Viet Nam

Being honest I'm not a big fan of exercises in general but recently I join at a gym of Jiu Jitsu, then I intend to become better at this sport. I'm from Brazil!

I remember hearing this from Jim Rohn - its all risky! Trying is risky not trying is also risky. While pushing to do something is in the end an emotional hurdle, remembering there is risk in doing nothing is also a logical reason that is overlooked sometimes. Update: I started applying around for new jobs and i called that person I said I would last week. I received some calls back on Friday and I hope to get more calls back this week. The worst thing they can say is no. Cheers and have a good week everybody!
