Twitter (2019.12.31)

I started Twitter in April this year. Now it has become a part of my life.

I was inspired to start it by a book, titled "Output Taizen" by Shion Kabazawa, a psychiatrist. It tells us that "output" - which means to speak and to write - is the key to our best performance. Even if we "input" - which means to listen and to read - a lot, we can't grow enough without "output".

I've been learning English conversations online and I encounter new words or expressions almost every day. Even if I learn them, however, they would disappear from my memory if I don't "output" them.

In "Output Taizen", the author recommended us to post what you experienced, felt or learned on Twitter or other SNS every day. By doing that, he explained, we can memorize those experiences better and get a lot of feedback and useful information. In other words, we can develop ourselves.

And that was true. Now I post English phrases I learned online almost every day and I get those benefits on Twitter.

This year's initial goal was to gain 100 followers, but now over 200 followers are following my tweets. I've met many interesting people on Twitter. I am so glad, and I really appreciate it.

I am looking forward to meeting all kinds of people as well as seeing the changes I go through next year through twitter.
