Statistics & Fortune-Telling


I'm not so into fortune-telling, usually. But absolutely yes into this one! By only inputting your date of birth, you'll see what you were in the Edo Period in your previous life. The idea is very funny -- it's based on the assumption that your previous life greatly affects your current life, and everyone lived in the Edo Period as well....since my friend happened to find the site, it has been amazing people in many places.

I was a "medical scientist." As the site is only Japanese, here is my informal English translation:

Course of Life and Personality:

You're an inquisitive idealist. You have your own belief, and lead your life based on it. In your previous life, you were a medical scientist who explored life phenomena and extensively conducted studies on ideal medical care and disease prevention. That greatly affects your current life as well, and your belief is based on your ideal that you delineate. To meet your own high expectations, you study and work so hard, perhaps a bit perfectionist. Because you're very proud, and possess absolute confidence in your own sensibility (yeah...this part is so true...), you'll exercise exceptional perseverance and persistence that surprise people around you. Having said that, you have no interest in what you don't care. You have no desire to compete, so always act freely. People might think you're picky, and a bit difficult to deal with.

Human Relationships

While you pursue ideals, you can also cherish the same old, day-to-day moments, so you're quite sociable as well, to our surprise. Your attitude having your own ideal and never affected by others actually seems to enhance your credibility. If there occurred a trouble, for example, you could listen to and conciliate each responsible party nicely. (End of translation text)

My friend having such a free spirit was a "ronin," and an expert on gathering office gossips was a "ninja." Our administrative assistant was a "maid." They sound so true, so I forwarded the URL to my counterpart of other organization. Then it turned out that a highly visible international negotiator was a "Kabuki actor."

Back to my conversation with Uemura-san (see below), he said "Well, I heard fortune-telling is all about statistics." God....which means people having the same birthday can have similar personality?

In my case, Ted Turner, Larry King, Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan, Calvin Klein and myself share the same birthday......does this ring the bell? If so, COOL!! I love each of them for different reasons.......:)
