Jordan First

Japanese Wisdom!

07.23.06

I must admit that everybody is congested and clueless as a reaction of what’s being happening to our brothers in Palestine & Lebanon. A majority even has changed his/her life theme, for example; we spend most of the time jumping from one news channel to another and on WWW side from a Newspaper Site or blog to another.

I must admit also that I have broken this rhythm and was persuaded by my friend to watch a movie in the cinema, so that we override temporarily that sad atmosphere; arab children, women & men are being killed in hundreds!!

The movie was FAST and FURIOUS 3, TOKYO DRIFT.

I am not going to start narrating about the story, but I will mention a very impressive wisdom which was the best thing in that movie. The proverb which is Japanese, was being told out by the father of the hero, who is a racing addicted guy, of not to interchange badly in the japanese society specially that the guy was trying to challenge by racing some Japanese Mafia guys.

The Proverb is:

The Nail that sticks out gets hammered

The Hammer will hit only the nail which sticks out, normal nails which are already inline will not be hammered.
