Junpei was with me for sixteen years, a constant presence during so many ups and downs. He had a, er, strong personality and so I'd like to share some of his lessons.
1) Set high expectations for yourself, live up to them, and be vaguely disappointed that others aren't. Love them anyway.
2) Stolen water tastes better.
3) Let people make over you but only until it makes you uncomfortable. Clearly tell them to back the fuck off as soon as that happens.
4) Comfort people who are sick or sad.
5) Annoy people who are working when they could be doing something else. Like getting you a glass of water.
6) Help the younger generation live up to their potential. They'll need it.
7) Always expect and give respect.
