UCHI-AWASE/打ち合わせ
In English, "UCHI-AWASE" means "conference" or "meeting". But I realize its meaning is deeper than that. When you see Its characters literally mean: 打ち=UCHI=hit or shoot / 合わせ=AWASE=merge. Therefore, the whole meaning is "to shoot ideas at each other in a meeting so that you can merge them into a bigger idea". You should bring your ideas to the meeting, because you can’t argue without them, and you'll be limited to listening to the others' ideas. So I always prepare ideas before participating in meetings.
