"Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius.
I think this quote means when someone can work in a career that he loves, he won't consider himself working since he is practicing something that he enjoy doing it. He may go early in the morning and stay all day long at work full of energy because this job will please him. Consequently, high and significant performance.
The quote is very true. Personally, I'm in a big struggle right now; my major is computer science but I don't really like it and not sure how my future going to be in a profession that I'm not willing to major in. Politics and international relations are very interesting to me, therefore I'm thinking seriously to switch my major to political science to be in a position that I love for the rest of my life.
Many people perhaps are in jobs they don't enjoy. The clues of that are being lazy, complaining constantly and counting days for the weekends and holidays.
The knotted question is: is it possible to love your job when it's involved somethings that you are not interested in? I HOPE IT IS.

Fukue, Natsuko. (2009). Japanese women still hitting a glass and bamboo ceiling in the boardroom. The Japan Times, Retrieved from http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20091111a4.html
It's likely that Mr. Fukue used a quote to state his thesis. "The glass ceiling in boards of directors remains in Japanese large companies," Irene Natividad, chairwoman of CWDI, told reporters in Minato Ward, Tokyo.
The claim seems to be Policy.
His argument is appealing to reason 'logos' [better performance for J-companies to be globally competitive].
Again he used a quote in his conclusion from same person.
What I think:
I think his approach in this argument is weak. His main arguing is to allow women to hold director positions in big Japanese companies in order to be successful and "globally competitive".
Well this claim is obviously not true; in his article he mentioned Toyota as an example of companies that doesn't have even one woman director. Clearly Toyota is one of world's biggest companies, it's 3rd globally according to Forbes ranking. Not only Toyota, but many other Japanese companies are already successful and competing all over the world. In addition, Japan is second largest economy in the world.

J-13: In A Tragic Shooting, 12 Dead and 31 Wounded in Fort Hood, TX
Maria Newman from NY Times has reported that 12 soldiers killed and 31 others wounded in a terrifying shooting in Fort Hood, a military base in Texas.
At 13:30 Central time today, a gunman carrying two guns opened the fire on a group of soldiers in readiness unit, where soldiers receive medical checking before they being shipped overseas; according to Maria. Gen. Robert W. Cone said, top officer in Fort Hood, that the shooter was killed immediately by the police forces.
“There were several eyewitness accounts that there was more than one shooter,” General Cone said. Therefore two other soldiers were put in custody for further investigation. Yet, there is no information about the shooter identity or reasons behind this shooting. Authorities are investigating in the incident to figure out the cause of this terrifying accident.
“a horrific outburst of violence.”, President Obama commenting from the White House, “My immediate thoughts and prayers are with the wounded and with the families of the fallen,” He added. (Newman, 2009)
