2011.3s
I havent found that definition yet.
2014.7s
Maybe theres no need to become an adult.
2025.0s

2091.6s
Grandpas like that are admirable and respectable.

Yeah, I want to be one.
2105.3s
You dont really have to become an adult.
2109.4s
But still, theres responsibility, right?
2114.5s
Yeah. But in Japan, probably, once youre over 20, everyone has responsibilities. Yeah, thats true. For example, if youre over 20 and do something bad,
2116.4s
But in Japan, probably,
2124.1s
once youre over 20,
2127.1s
everyone has responsibilities.
2130.8s
Yeah, thats true.
2133.9s
For example, if youre over 20
2139.8s
and do something bad,
2143.2s
commit a crime, youll be arrested. Youll be caught. And if you work, you have to pay taxes. I dont want to pay them. But you have to. So once youre over 20, maybe youre an adult. Yeah. Legally, youre an adult. Right, thats true.
2147.2s
Youll be caught.
2149.7s
And if you work, you have to pay taxes.
2155.8s
I dont want to pay them.
2158.1s
But you have to.
2160.2s
So once youre over 20,
2162.9s
maybe youre an adult.
2165.6s
Yeah.
2166.7s
Legally, youre an adult.
2169.9s

Okay, next topic is money. Oh, yes. Money. I like it. Do you like it? The topic of money I love talking about money. Really? Is that so? Do you like talking about money? Ive been interested in talking about money lately.
2178.5s
Oh, yes. Money.
2181.2s
I like it. Do you like it?
2183.2s
The topic of money I love talking about money.
2188.2s
Really? Is that so?
2192.3s
Do you like talking about money?
2195.4s
Ive been interested in talking about money lately.
2201.3s
For example, why? For example, why? Well, Ive been thinking about it lately. In the past, earning money having a lot of money I thought it wasnt a good thing. Why did you think that?
2204.1s
For example, why?
2205.9s
Well, Ive been thinking about it lately.
2210.4s
In the past, earning money
2216.2s
having a lot of money
2219.5s
I thought it wasnt a good thing.
2225.9s
Why did you think that?
2228.7s
Because I used to watch the news, seeing rich people walking around with a big attitude, or seeing news about rich people doing bad things. In Japan, talking about money is considered bad. Money is dirty.
2231.4s
seeing rich people walking around with a big attitude,
2238.8s
or seeing news about rich people doing bad things.
2245.6s
In Japan, talking about money is considered bad.
2251.8s
Money is dirty.
2256.2s
Thats how I was taught. Probably from watching TV, I naturally came to think that way. But lately, Ive been talking to all kinds of people. I see.
2263.7s
Probably from watching TV, I naturally came to think that way.
2272.1s
But lately, Ive been talking to all kinds of people.
2282.3s
I see.
2283.5s
People who make money in different jobs, and people who started their own businesses. I listen to those peoples stories. They make things people want, things people feel they need,
2287.7s
and people who started their own businesses.
2292.4s
I listen to those peoples stories.
2297.9s
They make things people want,
2305.0s
things people feel they need,
2309.5s
and in return they receive money. Yes, right. So theyre really doing good things for everyone. Yes, exactly. Of course, of course because, you know, if I think, This service is expensive, I wont buy it. I wont buy it. Right. So, if I buy it,
2313.6s
Yes, right.
2315.3s
So theyre really doing good things
2319.8s
for everyone.
2322.1s
Yes, exactly.
2324.1s
Of course, of course because, you know,
2327.0s
if I think, This service is expensive,
2330.2s
I wont buy it.
2332.5s
I wont buy it.
2334.2s
Right.
2334.9s
So, if I buy it,
2338.3s
its because its good. The buyer is happy, and the seller is happy thats business. Yeah, its that simple. But it actually took me time to really think, Ah, thats true. Ah, I see.
2340.4s
The buyer is happy,
2343.2s
and the seller is happy thats business.
2348.1s
Yeah, its that simple.
2354.2s
But it actually
2357.1s
took me time to really think, Ah, thats true.
2361.6s
Ah, I see.
2365.2s
For example, when I sell something, I might think, This price is high. With this service Im providing, is it really okay to receive that much money? I used to feel that way. I see. Yeah, I understand.
2370.5s
I might think, This price is high.
2375.5s
With this service Im providing,
2379.0s
is it really okay to receive that much money?
2382.6s
I used to feel that way.
2387.3s
I see.
2390.2s
Yeah, I understand.
2393.7s
I understand, I understand. Yeah, I also had that image. That money isnt a good thing, that its something dirty. I think I used to believe that too.
2396.0s
Yeah, I also had that image.
2403.2s
That money isnt a good thing,
