Service Concept

Enjoy recollecting your past experiences and applying them to your future life.

An unforgettably bitter experience, the worst possible ending after terrible misfortune never seems to come in isolation, nor does success arrive by ability alone. Life is truly unpredictable. When you are facing one of life’s turning points after spending many years as a contributing member of society, you have stories that should be passed down and insights of value to others. But most importantly, you strongly feel a need to share.

Individuals’ stories

Huge volumes of data on mass media and social network sites (SNS) are produced, shared and consumed everyday. The overwhelming majority of this content falls into the Selective Exposure Theory, explaining individuals’ tendency to choose favored information.

Despite the staggering amount of information available, it is almost impossible to find ordinary people’s real stories of happiness, achievement or other emotional or meaningful experiences from the turbulent period over the last 30 years.

Writing your inspired story requires plenty of time. This is the direct opposite of trends in today’s fast paced and busy lifestyles. There should be a chance to ease your heart while writing your story, enabling a feeling of joy as you reflect on your past. Above all, feeling a strong motivation to look back on the past and let people know what you experienced and how this could be helpful to others will motivate you as a writer when capturing your story.

Theme	Overview or key points
Who is wrong, a cheater or a person cheated?	Various scam-like tricks were used and ended up causing a profound effect on the company, business partner, a client or society.
I made a right mess of it (unintentionally)	I break into a cold sweat from fear whenever I recall what I did.
Greatest regret	Bitter experience that was not satisfying, or that trampled and shattered my self-esteem.
Mortified	Regretful experience due to running out of strength halfway through an endeavor
Whatever will be, will be.	One’s fortune in life or work is unpredictable. There is no way of knowing the outcome of our choices.
Point of no return	All I could do was just move forward.
Is this the furthest reaches of the world or what?	Various places, values and common sense. What is right? Is there only one truth? Has the age of diversity and inclusion come?
I was badly chewed up.	A disastrous business experience that left me traumatized. Agonizing cries due to a hell-like project
Magic? Illusion? Sixth sense? I felt like I touched an unknown world.	It’s beyond human power, a potential has been awakened, the limit I thought I knew but didn’t, a moment I touched on possibilities
Smooth sailing, no hitch,	Things went smoothly without any hiccups
I had a narrow escape from death. Did I see heaven?	The absolute death, comeback, or escape story; or I am still in the center of a controversy …
