Narrowing it down further

1. What are you going to do?

I am going to find out how far can one do his best, emotional impact on how this phrase of "do your best" plays a part in lightening spirits or dampening them and its effects on helping the person tide through the situation.

2. How are you going to do it?

Through research, posing questions to people. I guess eventually I want to understand how this word works in people and then the information gathered will be represented in the form of a book.

3. Why do you think it is interesting?

Because people often use "がんばって" or "加油" as encouragement during times of adversity. These Asian phrases of encouragement which can be translate to "put in more effort or do your best" is of different attitude in comparison to the western's "good luck". I thought it's interesting how these words of encouragement can affect a person's mood, feelings and does it really help to give you a push in these times of difficulty.
