One of the most popular Japanese comics is //Draemon//. It is so famous that almost all Japanese people have seen it.
==== “If I had secret tools such as Draemon has, how different my life would be.” Many Japanese people used to think so in their childhood. I was one of them. I used to talk with my friends about what tools we wished. I always said, “I want Time Machine!” The reason was that I wanted to know what would be caused by my actions before I did something. I had little confidence in myself, so I tended to worry about how others felt about my behaviors. If I had Time Machine, I would have been more confident of my actions because I could have known others’ feelings about me and what would have happened beforehand. ====

“My dream has come true! “ I didn’t know why it was here in my room, but that was none of my business. I began to use it before I did something
==== 　　I didn’t like to take exam. Of course, I studied very hard not only before exam but also every day. However, no matter how hard I studied, I couldn’t have confidence at all. Therefore, I went to the future to see the tests. Thanks to that, I got perfect scores on every subject. ==== ==== 　　I had a girlfriend. She was so sensitive that I always paid attention not to give her bad impressions. Nevertheless, I often hurt her and I disliked myself. Not to hurt her, I rode a Time Machine before we went to a date to see whether she was happy next to me. Thanks to this research, she always smiled. ==== ==== 　　As time was passed, I always rode Time Machine to prevent my troubles. It always saved me no matter how worried I was. I used it before whatever I did: I couldn’t judge my action without it. I suddenly felt shameful and thought, ====

“It is true that everything goes well thanks to the machine, but it is not my ability! I have relied on the machine too much. I must become strong!” I threw away the fastistic tool.
==== Now I try to decide what to do for myself. My score became worse and worse and I always make my girlfriend angry. Nevertheless, I think my judgment is right. I believe that my way of life must be judged for myself. ====
