## Quotes
### "For Ugandan envoy, flowers and traditional culture" (2023)

    For Ugandan envoy, flowers and traditional culture, Sustainable Japan (December 22, 2023)
* I'm trying to find a way for people to connect and experience how onsens have developed here in Japan, even if they don't have scientific knowledge about it, while also understanding the value they offer.
* We’re using traditional Japanese techniques, particularly in the lowlands, where rice is grown in water. There are two types of rice: upland rice and lowland rice. Lowland rice is grown in water, and the method of wetland rice cultivation actually originated here. While we used to grow rice on the hills, the wetland planting technique was introduced later.
* Flowers are good. There’s a way they take away stress and you can think positively when you have a look at something interesting, something attractive.
* What sets Japanese products apart is their quality. They are known for being reliable, and when you buy something made in Japan, you can be confident in its craftsmanship and durability.
* Our main product here in Japan is coffee, and we’re focused on finding ways to directly enter the market. We're also exploring opportunities to collaborate on technology that can help us add value to our agricultural products. For example, with coffee, we aim to process it to the highest standards for export. We also have pineapples and other fruits, and we’re looking for the right technology to enhance their value, so we can export them, including to Japan.

# Yrjö Kallinen

Yrjö Henrik Kallinen (15 June 1886, Oulu - 1 January 1976) was a Finnish railwayman, cooperative movement functionary and politician. He was imprisoned from 1918 to 1921 for having sided with the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic during the Finnish Civil War.

He was a member of the Parliament of Finland from 1945 to 1948, representing the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP)

## Quotes

* I promised to myself that I will never again obey anyone or any authority, government, gods or angels in anything else than in what I accept as the right or the best possible thing to do.
* Humanity could live in peace - but it doesn't, because from the cradle we are taught to compete and fight, win, dominate and kill each other. These lessons and the world view behind them becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: a state of affairs is created where you have to compete, fight and kill.
* I will devote one third of my essence to the cooperative movement. But two thirds belong to humanity and myself. I will always practice new things, everything between heaven and earth. But a third I'm happy to give: and the rest two thirds supports greatly everything I can give to the cooperative movement.
* Becoming aware, awakening, enlightenment, is possible right here and now, for everyone. From moment to moment, and yet only here and now, never sometimes, somewhere. Reality, God, is present here and now. The kingdom of heaven, blessedness, moksha, nirvana waits here and now. Outwardly nothing may happen, and yet a purely inner process can open up a new world, a new life, a new reality. - New? - Yes, really new, and yet as all those who have ever experienced it assert, at that moment we know that we have always been at home in that world, although we only now become aware of it.
** Attributed without citation at Nonduality Salon Highlights, #1891, 15 August 2004

## Quotes about Kallinen

* The man receives four death sentences - yet lives nearly 90 years. He hadn't been to schools - yet he was as well learned and wise as the best professors. A great and confident man - yet modest and humble. He had friends from near and far - yet he was an independent lone wolf. Zen buddhist - yet a member of the Lutheran Church. Socialist - yet many capitalists were friends to him.

## Quotes

* My topic today is Public Speaking. In my own understanding. We must first isolate the word “public ” for us to understand what we are dealing with. The fact that you can stand in your living room and order your siblings or your maid around does it mean you are a public speaker. So public in this case would entail people other than your family. Could be a church. A school. A workplace. A hall. Anywhere. And people must be there. The number of people must be significant to justify for it to be called “public ” and so for purposes of our discussion, let’s say, any crowd from 20 of people with whom you are NOT related can constitute a public.
* And so when you stand in their presence to speak, about anything, it matters less the reason for gathering, it could be a funeral, a party, a wedding, a meeting etc., your intention is for you to get your audience not only hear what you have to say, but that ultimately they understand, buy into and agree with you.
* The tricky part is speaking to a group of people who hold a different opinion to yourself. Consider going into a village who so much believes in marrying off young girls for money.And you as a new project officer for a local NGO has to go into the same to tell them that this is wrong and that it is more lucrative for the girls to remain in school.
* This is what I mean. So you are called upon to be poised. Confident. Resolue. Believe me when I say, this is easier said than done. You sweat from your back all the way down your spine. Your legs feel like they will fail you at times yet you must still deliver your pitch.
* At the end of your venture, you will win some of the people and lose some. As you speak, pay attention to the crowd.There will.be others who will constantly nod their heads in agreement. I like to pick up those and focus my eyes on them, it makes things a bit easier. Basically….this is the essence of public speaking…. I will pause there for now.

* We need more financial resources directed at education because we have more children, and also because 21st-century skills are more complex than anything that has been taught before.

** Speaking on the strive for quality education for all
* Institutions…could support the development of the whole ecosystem through knowledge building or creating a taskforce with other fiduciary investors and the ecosystem of dedicated impact bond managers.
