it also includes the meaning of 'interviewing'.
Direct translation, though we take it for granted, would be "having the ears at gates".
mmm, well, kind of letting your ears lend...translation is a hard thing!
anyway, I just wanted to share that the Japanese word has the meaning of three English verbs
(hear, listen, and ask) within a word.
we can tell which one is being discussed by its context.
but much of these can be a series of same activities,,, I guess.
I started reading a book called "U Theory".
It says that our "breakthrough" will route U shaped path.
Now I though of V-model...
I think...V-model is more focused on building/creating something in more organized way,
whereas U-theory talks about "experiences" and "feeling" of which the true-self is
being discovered and shaped in a way that is supposed to be.
