Abstract
The importance of being connected at heart with others.Yasutoshi YasudaProfessional Go playerA junior high school student took his own life 10 years ago due to school bulling. His life could have been saved if he had talked about his problems to someone. The news of this suicide set me off on my Go program to help others. Since then, I have interacted with more than 200,000 people including many foreigners, through Go. I would like you to think about how important it is to be connected at heart with others through my experiences. [Jpn J Physiol 54 Suppl:S10 (2004)]
