「京大医学部４名合格講師」による受験対策講座（７9） During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk. (Soren Kierkegaard) 私の目の前に「チャート式　数ⅢC」の問題集がある。大学受験用の定番である超ロングセラーの参考書兼問題集だ。私が現役の受験生時代だった４０年以上前から存在している。ただ、一か所だけ変わった。それは、問題部分が４７１ページであるのに対して「解答・解説部分」が４５５ページあって厚さは紙質のせいか「解答・解説部分」の方が厚いことだ。私の受験生時代は、解答は文字通り解答でペラペラだった。だから、私たちは例題を吟味して、友人に尋ねて、他の問題集から似た問題を探して、あらゆる“無駄”をしながら解答を作成するしか方法がなかった。しかし、今は違う。分からなければ、これ以上詳しい説明がないほど丁寧な解説が付けられているので解答を作るのに私たちがやったような四苦八苦はしなくていい。その結果、どうなったのか。塾生の子たちを見ていると、

「京大医学部４名合格講師」による受験対策講座（１４９） Follow your heart, but check it with your head. 　（Steve Jobs）私はよく「なんでそんなに長く同じテーマを考えているんだ？」と、尋ねられる。高校時代に教育学部に進むことを選択してから４０年以上同じテーマを追求しているのが珍しいらしい。確かに還暦近くなっても「受験」についてエッセイに書いて、毎日受験指導をしているのは珍しいのかもしれない。しかし、私にとってこんなに面白いテーマは他に無い。英語や数学自体も面白いし、人間相手の仕事も面白いし、人の評価基準を知るのも面白い。この業界には変人が多くて、観察しているだけでも面白い。それは、ジョブズの言う heart の声だから従うしかない。受験に向かう生徒たちも自分の heart の声に従っている。しかし、それだけでは「合格」できない。head を使って作戦やノルマをチェックしないと単なる願いで終わってしまうからだ。 I am often asked, "Why do you keep thinking about the s

SPECIAL HAPPENING TONIGHT (JAN 29)

A "nearby experience" is set to occur between the Moon and Mars this evening (September 29) as they will simply be somewhat north of 2 degrees separated. In India, this heavenly occasion will be at its apex at 8:34pm. The two divine bodies will have a similar right climb, with the Moon passing toward the south of Mars.

Side effects of consuming Maggi ( monosodium glutamate)

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a food additive commonly used to enhance the flavor of processed and packaged foods. While it is generally recognized as safe by regulatory authorities, some individuals may experience side effects after consuming MSG. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but can include headaches, flushing, sweating, numbness or tingling, and a sensation of pressure in the face or chest. These symptoms are often referred to as "MSG symptom complex" or "Chinese restaurant syndrome." It's important to note that most people can consume MSG without any negative effects, but those who are sensitive may want to minimize their intake of foods containing MSG or opt for MSG-free alternatives. If you have specific concerns about the effects of MSG or any other food additive, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
