I hardly care about how I look since my younger days. I don't bother to wear nice-looking clothes either. Even while commuting, it doesn't apparently look like I present a doctor-like appearance. I just change clothes for work in my office. It has been enough for my daily life, but my daughters came to ask me to wear something dressy as they grew up.

A few dozen clients had an opportunity to know how to choose their best-fit glasses from her. After her short lecture, she said "May I choose your glasses?", but no one raised his hand with hesitation. So, she abruptly called on me for a kind of a model and showed people some pairs of glasses using my face as a specimen.
