A famous Japanese proverb says: "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." Yet after years of travelling through Japan's remote communities and researching healthy aging, I've come to a different conclusion. The healthiest communities I've encountered are not those that suppress individuality. They're the ones that create space for it within a strong culture of belonging. I've explored this paradox more fully in my latest Japan Solo article on Substack. https://open.substack.com/pub/japansolo/p/the-nail-that-sticks-out-gets-hammered I'd love to hear your thoughts. About me: I'm Lowell Sheppard, author, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Late Academy, and Special Advisor to the International Academic Forum (IAFOR). Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore longevity, community, purpose, and healthy aging across Japan.

Dopo la rottura del pennone in testa d'albero di prua, lo abbiamo sostituito con uno nuovo fatto da noi del gruppo ANMI di Comacchio. Oggi il collaudo sul battello storico Comacina Natale II direi che è andato molto bene. Grazie a tutti i Soci che hanno collaborato.

Six sailboats — from small dinghies to large yachts — charge toward the same marker at high speed. One small boat cuts too early and slams into a yacht! Waves, shouts, and pure adrenaline captured like real GoPro footage. ⚓ #Sailing #RaceCollision #YachtLife #EpicCrash #WaterSplash #HighSpeedSailing #GoProFootage #SailingAction #AdrenalineRush #SailingChaos
