During the meeting, I was answering a question from a newcomer, when someone who had been there before pointed out that it is not interesting when Dr. Nishio answers the points that everyone wants to hear head-on. This is quite an interesting incident.

The image that came to mind when I was thinking about what it means. image I want to go from start S to finish G.

  • However, it is difficult to find a side road to the destination.
  • So many people follow the path and go to dead end A.
  • I’m having trouble with dead ends.""Which direction is G?” Many questions will be asked.
  • But if you try to go from A to G, the pause is a bush.

The appropriate action in this case is not to answer the questions that come up.

  • It’s about putting signs on side streets and giving them an overhead “map” in advance.
