Reflections on Life in Japan by Taras A. Sak: The Art of Maintaining
Perspective, Part III

In this final installment concerning the“art of maintaining
perspective,” I would like to concentrate on larger issues, such as
how to achieve a work/life balance, since I’ve previously discussed
more narrowly focused themes, like the need to always bear in mind why
we first came to Japan or specific strategies to avoid burn-out and

Japan, Here and Now by Jacqualine Kurio:
Japan and China - Moving On

by Manpower Inc, the survey also revealed that the three top positions

The last four weeks have created unimaginable fall-out in the financial
markets, with the USA going from five major investment banking firms in

to go bankrupt, Bear Sterns was sold off to J.P. Morgan Chase, and
Merrill Lynch was sold to the Bank of America. Morgan Stanley and
Goldman Sachs substantially shored up their capital with outside
investors as well as converting into fully regulated banks.
