Deal is that what I give is exchanged with what is given as far as both agree. That is possible if one deal is done at the same time and they consider it’s balanced. But, is what I have given well balanced with what I have been given? By the time when I got aware of myself, I became one who understood what was spoken in Japanese. I have been given by others all the languages, foods, drinks, wear, a bed, a house, oxygen, light, a bath room et al. Conversely, all I have given to the others is contribution to semiconductor products and publications on circuit design, which seems to be much less significant than what I have been given. If you are going to make a deal with the society, you would fail because the society shouldn’t agree with it. It is fortune for me that the society does not deal with any individual at all. When I noticed that, I came up with the idea that all I could do is doing my best for what I might be able to contribute to the others and societies.
   One possible definition of myself is (1), i.e., “myself (I) is an integral of the sum of interaction Λij(t) with the teachers, the colleagues, the problems, and what has been read, talked, and learned over time”.
