Pile of Index Cards

ref. : Mixture of stone and gem

This is a story I actually generate gem from stones.

I had had terrible headache for long time. It squeezed my brain. I couldn’t concentrate to my work with it. But my health had no problem. I talked to a doctor, colleague, and supervisors ; and they gave same answer ; it is mental reason.

I had started reading book about brain and mental. Also I go to gym and begin swimming to overcome physically. But nothing had changed about the headache. Only progress I got was knowledge about brain and swimming skill. One day, I try to track record of the headache with my system. I had recorded about my health as daily (i.e. Record card). In terrible case, I record the condition on independent Record card. I search my Life Dock, and pick them up all.

Between the Record cards, I found interesting pattern. I had never had headache on Saturday and Sunday. Then what is different between week day and week end. It’s simple : Go to office or not. Then It is really due to mental or human relationship? Nope. It seems opposite, the headache cause mental depression. Mentally, o.k., physically, o.k. ; what is the source? Then what about food and drink. A food won’t be so different. I drink coffee and tea frequently both in my room, and office. Then the problem is coffee or tea itself?. Negative ; I drink same brand in both place. Then what about water? Water? But I couldn’t believe a quality is so different.

Next day, I tried it anyway. Simply, just didn’t drink coffee in my office. And the results is obvious. I didn’t have the headache. I tried it next couple of days to confirm repeatability. And again, I didn’t have headache. I finally found a solution : Source of my headache is the water in my office. But I still couldn’t believe this result. A water is too usual. But it was biased by common sense. Long time I was blind due to the common sense. And only my card system knew the truth. Now I’m free from the terrible headache.
