The Pursuit of Happyness

The other day, I went to an SGI meeting at a member's home. It was in a luxury building in Akasaka, Tokyo. The first 15 floors are offices, I think, because to get to the apartment, I had to take an elevator to the lobby on the 16th floor, then take another elevator from there to the 24th floor.

Eeven though I saw only the living room, I know the apartment was really nice. I went home and looked up he rent for an apartment in this building. The rent for a 3-bedroom for one month was my salary for a full year.

I wanted to be like Will Smith's character in "The Pursuit of Happyness," where he asks the guy in the luxury car what he did for a living to get that.
