(Japanese) I really think that the bigger the dream, the better. Also, I think all the efforts you put into your goals will always come back and reward you. You will be successful. I always thought if I am going to be a farmer, I might as well do something big. But in reality, I did not have the capital to do something big. I also did not know America, the country, well enough. If I knew my wife or somebody else here before I come here, it might have changed the circumstances. That is why I think it’s very important to find out about the country you are coming to. Also, try not to suppress your dreams, go towards your goals and that will lead you to success.
