“Results” of “failure”

“Hurry up a little” Watercolor/F4 2020.12.12

“Failure” and “success” seem to be diametrically opposed concepts.。seemingly incompatible、It's like two sides of the same coin、If you look closely, there is only a slight difference in thickness between the "front" and "back"。What about “failure” and “success”?。“Results” are、You can gain from both failure and success.。in my case、Especially learning from failure、I think it used to be big。

There are cases where you can learn a lot from failure.、Although it was successful、An example of a lucky success that led to the next big failure、we are daily、have experienced (have experienced) historically。"Failure is the basis of success"、It's not dead yet。

“Why did you fail?”。Calm and persistent analysis、From the often-mentioned “mini-success experience”、I think it's a very proactive attitude in a sense.。Don't turn away from failure、Beyond the criticism of failure from someone else's perspective、This is because they have an orientation that affirms the future.。in the first place、You can't even fail if you don't take action.。After that, when you make that kind of orientation、It can be said that "failure" is already a worthy "achievement".。

We (Japanese)、We tend to belittle our failures by saying things like ``I'm not good enough'' or ``I caused trouble for other people.''、“Fear” and “Hide” failure、Because of this, there seems to be a national trait that makes us especially want to blame others for their failures.。Rather than such "individualization of failure"、Recognizing that “failure is a shared asset”、Analyze it based on the opinions of many people.、Connect to the future、I want to be persistent and calm.。What is needed to develop such national character?、in our country、Until now, such logic has not been developed.、I haven't really thought about it much。Amidst the coronavirus pandemic、Every day I feel that again。

The path from “beautiful Japan” to “crazy Japan”

Autumn leaves at Sekijuku Castle Park, Chiba Prefecture

The autumn leaves are beautiful this year、I've heard it on the radio over and over again.。Even when I walk around the neighborhood, I don't feel anything special.、I think it's pretty pretty。I went to the nearby Sekijuku Castle Park by car.。It's 25 minutes away by car、You can go there in about 45 minutes on a regular mamachari bicycle (about 20km round trip)。

I arrived around 3pm、It was already close to "sunset"。Even if you subtract the "redness" of it、The autumn leaves still have a mid-autumn feel (photo).。I don't hear that this year will be a warm winter.、It may be an ``exception'' following last year's ``exceptional'' warm winter.。The bright sunshine is warm、It was incredibly calm considering it was between 3℃ and 14℃.。

On the other hand, I also saw a sad reality.。This park is proud of、One of the largest Kobushi trees in the Kanto region has finally rotted away.、There was no trace left to see (the photo is too painful)、(will not be published)。next to this tree、I think we made a lot of memories、I was deeply moved for a while.。

I thought about quitting writing, but、I'll write it down for the record.。Spread of coronavirus infection and GoTo campaign。While keeping the slogan "Working for the people"、Suga Cabinet “refrains from providing explanations”。inherited from Abe、“Fake boom (only stock prices)” due to the Bank of Japan’s unlimited purchases of government bonds、Suicide rates (especially among young women) will significantly increase as expected due to work style reforms、Increase in unemployment rate (not due to coronavirus)。Olympics (free/paid volunteer) and “Pasona”)、Shallowness of the media's perspective regarding the Crown Prince and Princess、There's no end to this, etc.、“People’s common sense” that the cabinet approval rating will not decline。No.、There's not enough space here。(2020/12/01)
