四月十二日(shigatsu juni nichi): April 12

It was a very cold rainy day like winter. It is still raining. The weather forecast said it would be warm tomorrow.

I had a chance to visit a library in a university in Tokyo today. At the entrance there was a saying which drew my attention. It was written in Japanese, so I am not sure if I can translate it exactly, but it was:
The important points are to move, to love, to hope, to tremble, and to live.
It is the word of Francois-Auguste-Rene Rodin (1840-1917), who was a famous French sculptor. The Thinker (考える人: kangaeru hito) must be his representative work.

What are important points for you?
