A Great Movie

Gratitude and Learning Journal: Day 2


A good thing that happened today was that I could listen to a song titled “Big Up” by Shōnan no Kaze.

The song encourages us to dream big.

I found this song when I watched a 2015 Japanese comedy film, “Bali Big Brother” (神様はバリにいる, Kamisama wa Bali ni Iru)

The protagonist of the movie was a woman having financial problems and visited Bali where she meets Aniki, a successful businessman, who encourages her with good advice.

Aniki says things like, “When time is tough, laugh!” and “When you think about making others happy thoroughly, it enriches us.” I felt I needed to hear those words right then.

I’m grateful the film taught us valuable lessons with humor.
