As you get older

When I was young, I had the strength and momentum to stick to my beliefs even when I was disliked by others, but as I got older, I became very concerned about evaluations from others.

It's OK to be disliked; I don't want to do anything crooked! When I was young, I thought so, but before I knew it, I became afraid of being disliked by people.

I want the strength to stick to my beliefs.

Let's stay young

Isn't it often said that the older you get, the more round you get?
It is natural law that as we get older, our physical strength and energy decline, so it can't be helped.
But in order to delay it even a little, why don't you make an effort to stay young while exercising and being moved?

Please stick to your beliefs

Please stick to your beliefs. You may be tired, but you're not wrong. I think you're doing the right thing.

However, isn't it about choosing between sticking to the small events in the immediate future and creating conflict with the surroundings, or gradually revising the consciousness of those around you by putting your ideals farther and bigger?

A long time ago, there was a TV program that closely covered an Air Self-Defense Force instructor and a pilot egg person. Since elementary training jets are single-engine propeller planes, they can be pulled left or right depending on the rotation of the propeller. No matter what, when Egg landed, she couldn't run straight on the runway, was bad at correcting propeller power (torque), and was unable to cure her habit of running zigzag. No matter how much the instructor scolds you, you can't fix it well.

It is clear that the cause is that they are fascinated by the immediate movement of an airplane being pulled by the power of the propeller, but the instructor himself was a brilliant person who was able to quickly learn piloting techniques, and no one of the trainees up until now was this sluggish, so the instructor didn't know what to do.

After worrying, the instructor rides a bicycle at the airport with the trainees. As expected, trainees can run their bicycles straight. So the instructor said, “Where are you looking at riding a bicycle?” I asked. “I think I'm looking at a mountain in the distance,” the trainee replies. The instructor orders, “OK, well, look straight down and try driving.” As soon as the bike stops running straight. The instructor said, “Your landing is just like now. If you look at a mountain in the distance and run a bicycle, you can go straight ahead, but it becomes unstable because you're only looking ahead.” The trainees who got the hang of it were able to cross the first barrier.

This airplane piloting analogy may be difficult to understand as it is. It may be close to what it feels like when riding a bike damaged due to severe crosswinds or a fall. Even in such cases, if you keep your eyes far away, it should be easy to correct the force to the side.

Please have higher and bigger ideals than ever before. Please live your life without being disturbed by the little things in front of you. I myself can't keep going like that, so I'm going right and left, though.

supple strength

I understand how you feel.
When you're young, there are probably people who run out of momentum as they get older, even if they advance in a wild boar.
In order to maintain strength to stick to your beliefs, why don't you hit things not only with a fastball game, but also with supple strength that mixes strength and weakness?

Becoming an adult means losing one's ego

I think getting older means getting rid of horns and becoming round. I listen to people's stories, but sometimes it adapts to people, and sometimes it leads. If you just stick to your beliefs all the time, you'll become selfish.

Maybe I was able to penetrate my ego when I was young, which I had created since I was little. However, when they become adults, they grow in the direction of losing their ego.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to aim for an adult who is able to relax in oneself and has a good heart rather than a prickly heart?

Let's stick to the right thing

Nice to meet you, Princess Yumiko.

When you're young, you can let your thoughts pass through just your momentum.
As I get older, I start to worry about a lot of things.

However, in reality, it is possible to continue to age.
It's different if you think you're doing something that people tell you to be at a good age, but if that's not the case, why don't you try it through?

If you think about whether it's good or bad, there are so many good and bad things that you don't understand.

The criteria for judgment are simple.
Don't do good things; do the right things.

It's good to see for yourself, but when it comes to good things for people to see, there are also things where you have to bend yourself somewhere.
When I worry about people's eyes and start trying to do good things, I stray more and more from my own thoughts.

If you do what you see and think is right, then you don't have to worry about people's eyes.
Isn't that what is called a mindset?

If I think I'm wrong somewhere, I can honestly correct the direction.
I think that, too, is sticking to my own right.

Stakes that come out get hit, but no one hits stakes that stick out too much.

If you get through it, you'll be able to make a way there.

I think it's important to stick to what you think is right.

Sophisticated

To Yumiko

What is veteran
[Name/Form] Having gained a lot of experience, getting used to things, and being skillful. Also, thank you so much. Old-fashioned. “-na () kakehiki” “-na () sailor”
It's written in the dictionary.

Getting old means getting old,
It means that when you were young, you can think more deeply about things you didn't think about through numerous experiences and experiences.

“Before I knew it, I became afraid of being disliked by people.” What I feel is that due to the accumulation of experiences up until now, I think we have experienced losses if people don't like us.

“I want the strength to stick to my beliefs.” However, I'm worried that if I get too particular about it, Yumiko will break down.
Why don't you let go of all kinds of obsessions and learn to be as kind as a willow?

Live the truth rather than before it was built

There is a scene like this in Sakaguchi Hisashi's masterpiece “Akkanbe Ikyu.”
A man on the verge of starvation was bitten in the foot by a dog, lost his breath and said, “Boy, if I die, can I go to the Pure Land of Paradise?”
While shedding tears, Ikkyu-san tells lies that are not true to her true heart.
“..., hi, you can go to paradise properly...”
The man died in peace.
Ikkyu-san thought that wasn't actually the case, but he dared to lie as a convenience to reassure that man.
I also used to cherish the image of a monk and only used false Dharma stories.
They firmly conformed to the image of monks thought of by the public and persisted in their “monk-like character.”
There was a time when he was a lying boy like Patrick, the main character in the foreign drama “The Mentalist,” like when he was a fake psychic. (It's interesting, so watch it)
Among these Hasunoha's answers, there are 800 lies, or to put it better, 800 convenient answers.
It complies, and the more “difficult” it becomes when you answer lies (crying).
At a certain point, I stopped giving false answers and concentrated on nonsensical answers.
Being a monk, being a monk... I think monks have a dilemma of being bound by that. When I was in a public position, I also played monk statues that responded to the image of a monk that the world wanted, like the monks appearing on TV. I think 80% of all monks are like that. There are things to protect, so...
Of course, sometimes convenience is necessary.

The way to have the courage to stand at Senbon Yaomote is to live completely in a solo spirit.
In the music industry, if it's a duo or a group of a few people, if someone causes a scandal, it will lead to a decline in the image of the other members.
However, when it comes to a group like AKB where you don't know how many people are in a group, the essence is solo after all.
Human society also has that kind of aspect.
That's why I'm aware of great mediocrity.
I am aware that there is only one person in the great universe.
That awareness is the spirit of heaven, heaven, and supremacy!
You are the only one in the entire universe!
Why is it necessary to be like someone else!
You should live your own original! Acho! ← Bruce Lee
