Small Lessons
CC Japan is mostly passive – we respond to requests, more than pursue particular goals we set.
Active people come to us – they are greatly helpful.
Dive into a new area, when invited, especially if CC is known in the area.
It is an efficient way to meet interested, listening folks – save you from wasting efforts.
We do not have strong communities – still meeting lots of new people in new areas.
