Have you heard of Danny Choo?

A friend of mine sent me a link to his site. Prior to that I never heard of him. He looks to be very popular in the anime world.

I clicked on the link Roppongi Hills and really enjoyed all the pictures of the Christmas decorations he took in Tokyo. The city seems to be very festive and lit up. I used to do a lot of stumbling in Stumble-Upon so I am surprised I never ran into this site.

Danny Choo is a good writer and in his nostalgic post, I found him to be quite inspirational. I hope you enjoy it too.

-Do something – anything. Do it now. If you are not sure what to do, just start by doing anything! I may make it sound plain and simple but in fact it is. Something leads to something. Nothing leads to nothing.

-Finally, life is short. One may not appreciate just how short it is while we are young but really start to understand as we get older. I’m in my late 30’s now and am under no illusion whatsoever that I’m going to die at old age – I could die anytime like any of us. I want to ensure that I died while living a life doing what I love most. Don’t want to live forever and am happy with the time I’ve been given and will make sure I make the most of it.

I could have chosen 15 years(ish) ago to stay content making shoes (which I was good at) back in London. I chose happiness instead and took the steps needed one by one to get me where I am today. Life is great and I love my job and life in Japan. You can achieve anything with passion and focus.

Judging by the many comments in all his posts, he has a sizable following. I think I may be his latest fan.
