[State of the day]

[Impressions of those who visited]
○I was very impressed and I studied myself.

In particular,
・I was desperately thinking about how to sell because the stock remained.
・I realized the importance of trust in business.
・I thought that this would lead to an improvement in the image of the supplier (Mikawa-cho).
・I also thought about continuity.
I learned that I was seriously working on learning and preparing for the presentation.
When I came back to the beginning, I was inspired to think about what business is.

○It was wonderful because I felt that I was facing the project while having fun, rather than being done. I was thrilled.

○I was overwhelmed by the seriousness of the children's efforts.
I didn't have any idea what kind of approach it was or what kind of approach it was, so I was impressed by both.
