An emotional eraser

We use an eraser when we write something wrong or have the wrong answer when studying. In fact, we all have an emotional eraser.
When we do something wrong to our friends or family, or bother someone; or when we cannot deliver what we were asked to do, we say “I’m sorry” or “I apologize.” This is just like an emotional eraser. Regardless you’re a child or an adult, when we realize our mistakes, we can avoid a disagreeable feeling or an argument if we use the emotional eraser with courage.
The more we use this emotional eraser, the easier it can erase. Or it becomes harder and harder to use or nothing will get erased.
I believe we can use the emotional eraser to brighten our lives.

Are you holding your pen right?

According to a survey conducted at elementary schools, less than 10% of the students hold their pens correctly.
What you should pay attention to is that, the same rate was shown in other grades as well. This makes you wonder if you will eventually hold your pen correctly or not when growing up. English and other European languages are written from left to right. It makes it easier to hold your pen with your index finger. However, Japanese is written from top to bottom, which requires the pen to be in between the thumb and the ind

ex finger. Also, we don’t bend our wrist as much as when writing in English.
