(Continuation from yesterday)

However, my daughters have no hesitation about using their father's "technical skills" and "qualities" to defeat him.

How to set up appliances, network wiring, initial computer setup, software installation, academic report writing, English translation, crafting, job and school entrance exams, how to make and organize presentation materials -- and more,

They let "me" brainstorm about everything from their motivations for applying for jobs to their dreams for the future.

They will even implicitly specify a bedtime for their father (e.g., "Dad, are you going to bed before 4:00 a.m. today?").

Ebata: "Listen, why do I have to think about your 'motives' and 'dreams' as well?

Daughter: "No, what I expect you is a logical path (explanation) to connect to my 'motives' and 'dreams'"

Exactly.

"It's not that difficult to talk about their "motivation" and "dreams" (although of course there are many people who say it's difficult).

What is really difficult is to create a story with concrete examples, objective feasibility, and moderate power and drama, to lead up to the "motivation" and "dream".

In fact, this is the same as how to write a patent specification.

A patent specification is an administrative document for requesting the state to grant an exclusive right to use an invention.

However, some of the documents also need a powerful story that convinces and impresses the examiner.

Therefore, an engineer whose business is invention is required not only to have "technical ability" but also to have qualities as a "storyteller".

In general, my daughters have used me as a convenience, like 'it is easier to beg my daughter for a branded bag'
