Earning yoyu 余裕

余裕 (yo yu), a Japanese term, means having a surplus, slack or extra capacity.

  • Having spare time or room
  • Being relaxed or composed
  • Having financial surplus to spare
  • Mental/emotional capacity to handle situations

In the world of cheaper, better and faster, it’s easy to slide down the path of efficiency. We don’t usually embrace yoyu, seeking easily measured productivity. Read more books, earn more money, have more friends.

When I spot a productive and happy person, I nod and I smile.

And I secretly hope that he’ll be my friend.

Thanks for pointing out, Seth.
