I had a thought while watching the opening ceremony speech of the Paralympics.

"How about setting up a large version of a kitchen timer next to the speaker?"

Or better yet, have them available all over Japan.

Especially the principal of an elementary or middle school with no presentation skills.

With this large kitchen timer, the students will be 'prepared'.

They can then objectively ascertain the intelligence and skills of their school's principal.

Alternatively, they could adopt the method of academic conferences.

The presentation time at most conferences is 15 minutes "including discussion" (10 minutes for the preliminary bell; 12 minutes for the final bell; 15 minutes for the closing bell).

So, for those children who are having trouble finding a topic for their free research during the summer vacation, I will provide the story.

"Why are the principal's stories so long and boring?

I once tried to get a rough idea of the scale of the number of people with persons with disabilities/employees in Japan.

I also compared the number of people with persons with physical disabilities in the 65+/under age groups.

In short,

"Humans, eventually, will all be disabled"

I was startled that I noticed the natural fact.

Ebata: "The Paralympics is, in essence, a stage that concerns all of us".

When I was muttering to myself while watching the opening ceremony of the Paralympics, my wife said to me

Wife: "No, I don't think so. I don't think it's possible to watch those amazing performances of the Paralympic athletes as a scene from our lives."

In a moment, I was convinced.
