Afternoon half holiday and adjustment of bicycle back mirror

This afternoon was half holiday.

I maintained my bicycle after 3 p.m.

I cleaned the chain and attached a back mirror to it.

The chain cleaning tool I got yesterday did a great job, so I was able to clean without much trouble.

After I attached the back mirror, I went out for a ride.
At first I had hard time with set the angle of the mirror.
Finally I got used to it.
I attached the right side of the bike, for Japan is left-hand traffic, right below the bracket of the drop handle bar.
To adjust the mirror there are some tips.
First I stride onto the frame of the bike before starting, setting the handle bar straight, casting my face down so that the mirror would be in my sight.
Then adjust the mirror angle.
- Choose a place of a road long and strong enough so that I can look back far on the road.
- Keep the bike to the left of the road.
- Adjust the mirror so that I can see in it horizon a third from the bottom, see the left side of the road a third from the left (inside), I barely can see myself in the right edge of my body.
In this way, I adjusted the mirror and find it very useful.
With a mirror, I felt my bicycle truly a part of traffic because I have gotten able much more easily to grub the situation of my bike in the traffic.

My mental state is near burst. I sometimes make strange noises myself when I feel as if my brain were going to burst.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
