My favorite quotes from Ed Catmull’s talk at The Economist:

On the Socratic ideal of admitting ignorance:

“We’ve got these successful things going on and we mis-perceive how we got there. Or who the influences are. And we draw these wrong ideas and we then make a series of mistakes which are not well grounded in reality. Which means the things that are happening now that are wrong at Pixar are already happening and I can’t see them. And I have to start with that premise. And through all the history.. there is something going on here and I don’t know what it is.”

#12 Living in a city for children is better.

          Why people want to live in a city than a countryside? In my opinion, there are lots of educational facilities and lots of people in a city. That's why parents prefer to live in a city.

          First of all, in a countryside there are only limited worikings provided. Contrary to countryside, there are lots of jobs in a city so that it is pretty good for young couple to raise their children. While they are working, they can ask their children to child care center. So they feel relieved. The young couple can get a job which can be professional. For these kinds of reasons young couple wants to live in a city.

       It is no doubt that children growing up in a countryside are well- immune and healthy. But there are lots of way to get strong. For example, during the weekends, going outside of the city to travel, climbing mountain, or going to park near the city. It can be very helpful for their body. More over, it is very useful to use facillity which are gymnasiums, or libraries. So children would be very healthy in body and mind.

       For the future society, it is the trend that couple shoud be working together. It is quite effective that living in a city and using a good facillity to raise their children.

#11 Living in a countryside for children

It is better for children to grow up in a countryside than a big city.  In a countryside, children are aquaited with nature and they grow up very heathily with a fresh air. There are many reasons I support living in a countryside.

Nowadays people tend to go back to countryside for children. The children growing up in a big city usually stay at a building which is sorrounded with polluted area. So they suffer from diseases such as athma, atopy skin. It’s because their immune system isn’t so strong. However children living in a countryside stay near mountains, and streams. It helps children boost immunity so that they are healty.

Usually people think educational facility is not enough in a countryside. But it is not true. Nature is the best place for studying. It is not neccessary to have a good equipment, or facillity for studying. When I was young I don't need many exercise equipment, I have only my own bycicle. And I have many friends who can play with me and plenty of time for playing. I think plenty of time they can enjoy themselves in a countryside.

I am curious that why people are eager to live in a big city. Maybe lots of jobs are existed in a city. In my opinion, If they have their own job in a countryside, it would be perfect place for children to grow up.

#9 Japan is getting on bandwagon

     Rakuten online company in Japan make a new policy that all employees who work for Rakuten should communicate in English by 2012. It is not only a problem of Rakuten company. Other companies in japan are rush to use English. Because English is a global languge of business. Service industry in Japan is about 70 percent of GDP. That's why Japanese goverment and Japanese company make an effort to establish good policies to learn English. However, the problem is that Japanese people learn just only learn vocabulary and grammar for passing the exam. After finishing the test, most of them forget it. So English education of  high school will be taught in English by 2013.

     It is needless to say that English is global language. It is not only Asian countries problems, but also Europe contries, all around the world's problems, either. But I think Japan, and Korea have the difficulty of learing English. Because they learn just only reading part of Enliglish. English is one of languages that means communication is important. In my opinion, if they learn speaking and communication first, it is easy to say their opinion. Most important is communication.
