Life’s crossroads are
where you find
the seeds of serendipity.

The Japanese word 仕合せ (“shiawase”) means “serendipity.”
A part of the first character in this word refers to “people,” which provides added flavor to the term’s meaning.

“Shiawase” is happiness derived from the convergence of circumstances that occurs when people interact with and relate to each other. Isn’t this exactly what an alchemist of learning does?

To take one’s discovery of new possibilities as an opportunity to make miracles happen. Regardless of how the past was or present is, we can ensure serendipity in our future.

To bring about fortuitous encounters many times over and guide the process of becoming “shiawase,” that is LEARNING SHIFT’s purpose.
