    As someone who has taught thousands of Japanese English learners and helped them become global citizens by helping them make the world their classroom, I can totally relate to the power of HUGS being one of the most important languages one can learn.
    Culture and society play a huge role, so in order for children to make hugging a habit, parents and educators should lead by example.
    Thank you for sharing this Maria.

    Very great speech and a very important topic that is discussed here. I wish more people in Japan would allow physical closeness and thus be able to support important people in life when they need it. I hope that many people in Japan can see this video and think about how a simple hug can go a long way in supporting people also mentally.

    • @mariashimura
      @mariashimura Год назад +1

      Thank you so much for your comments, Sascha. As you mentioned, I also strongly believe that one single sincere hug can change the world and save someone. Physical affection like hugs are so critical for people to open up themselves, show their vulnerability and ask for support.
      I really do hope this message can reach as many people's hearts as possible....!!

    A beautiful and so very true Ted talk. I and my two brothers grew up in a single parent environment. Our mother showed her love through providing for us, and being there for us. She didn't express her love through touch or verbal expressions, probably from not having that in her childhood. Sometime in my teens I decided that if I were to ever be a parent I would break that mold, and that I would hug my children, and tell them I love them, along with providing, and being there for them always. My sons are 49, and 51 now, and the hugs, and "I love you's" continue to this day.

    Beautiful and Meaningful and vey important speech thank you Maria for sharing it with us. I miss you my dear friend, your kindhearted spirit your welcoming smile and of course your warm hugs that came from your heart. I feel lucky that I had privilege to have shared many wonderful moments with you, even if they weren’t enough, never not once did I feel like you wouldn’t understand me even if we had so many cultural differences you always listened cautiously and always wanted to understand and learn and I hope you got the same from me. The love I’ve received was like from a family member like a sister and I will always cherish that in my life. Sending love and hugs to you and I hope for the day where I am healthy and confident enough to travel to see you again my dear friend. Love you and I wish nothing but the best for you.

      I clearly remember the heartfelt hugs you always gave me, Yul. You've cared about our friendship as your real family member and you truly saved me from the darkest moments of my life.
      You're enough, loved, healthy and confident, Yul ☺️ We will make our reunion real soon! Sending you huge hugs and love from Tokyo ❤️
