A G T （America’s Got Talent）

Recently、Sometimes I watch AGT (America’s Got Talent) on YouTube.：American newcomer discovery program。It all started with the UK's ``UK got Talent''。I'm impressed that there are indeed "geniuses" out there.。Although many of the people appearing are singers.、Even for someone like me who admits that I don't understand music.、"This person is、It makes you feel that what you have is different.。Is that what it means to be a “genius”?。

Effort for ordinary people、environment、genetics etc.…Everything feels like it's necessary、It makes you think that “talent that was bestowed from heaven after all!” is something from another world.、That's "genius"。What they have in common is “absolute trust in themselves”。And one more thing、The ability to “go to a place where you are accepted”。moreover、“Humility” that can be called calm。Geniuses are not extravagant for some reason.。that's a new discovery。That's also attractive。

Genius is often compared to a high mountain.。from a high mountain、You can clearly see the peaks and features of the mountains below.。I think he was at the foot of the mountain、I'm not sure which peak is higher。Of course, the people at the foot are ordinary people.。-This analogy applies not only to the height of the peak.、It also implicitly conveys the importance of the foothills.。The importance of the “foothills” that support geniuses.。Maybe you could call it a fan、In any case, such people make geniuses "geniuses".。Creating a stage is not the work of a genius, but the power of the fans.、I think watching this program。

On the other hand, genius is like a wild orchid.、I also feel。Orchids are a kind of defeated species among plants.。lose the competition、It is a life that has chosen to live in a harsh environment with little nutrition.。Their place is in the inconspicuous darkness。There are many people who love it、difficult to grow、With plenty of nutrients and light, it won't grow into a large tree.。Suddenly、For some reason I think of Edith Piaf。

ウォーキングのゴールは？

昨年11月後半からウォーキングを始めたことはすでに書きました。せいぜい三日坊主、と自分でも半分くらいは思っていましたが、（なんと！）今も続いています。maybe、わたしはもともと飽きっぽくない性分だと思っていますが、コロナもあって、ほかにやることがなくなってきたことも、続いている理由でしょう。

ちょうど2ヶ月経った時点での、ウォーキングの結果です。　体重－1㎏の目標に対して－4㎏。達成率400％？腹囲は測ってないが、ベルトの穴が2つは違うから効果はあったと思います。ほぼ毎日10000~12000歩（7~８㎞）を目標に歩きました。歩かない日が１日あり、その日は380歩のみ。天候が悪かったからですが、歩こうと意識しないと、こんな生活です。
　オマケ：①足腰がしっかりしてきた実感　②腰痛の湿布をほとんど使わなくなった　③食事についての基礎知識仕入　④遠くを見ながら歩くので（早朝ウォーキングは止めた）、眼にも良いような・・・です。

But、問題はむしろここから。目標は早々と達成なので、続けるつもりならそのための「目的」が必要になってしまいました。歩くこと自体も嫌いではないが、続けるにはもっと美しい風景が必要だ。ダイエット自体が目的ではないとすると、「健康」？でも、もともとさほど健康志向でもないので、それではたぶんモチベーションが続かない。Hmm、問題が本質化してきたぞ。オマケも、ずっと同じオマケじゃ物足りなくなるのは人の常。これも問題が深いぞ。誰ぞ、よい知恵を。

CG:computer graphics

The picture above is based on a photo、Drawn with software called Penbrush。Anyone who draws illustrations etc. does this.、Beginner's CG during Beginners。Anyone can do it、It doesn't always look the same no matter who draws it.。For example, place tracing paper over a photo.、Even a simple task of tracing over it with a pencil、It's like tracing in dozens of different ways.。

``No matter who does computer graphics, the result will be the same.''、I used to think, ``I can't express my individuality and it's boring.''、It's different now。Even if you use pencils from the same manufacturer、Not everyone can draw like Ingres or Picasso.。CG is just one tool。In fact, the way you use it also shows your individuality.。

on the other hand、Computers go beyond the level of different art materials such as pencils and brushes.、It's also a tool from another dimension.。The spread of automobiles has changed our lives、It seems to have had a huge impact on the way I think on a daily basis.、Experiencing CG not only changed my way of thinking but also、There is no doubt that it has a great influence on sensibilities (whether good or not).。

How do you change yourself as a result of it?、I'm having fun drawing CG。Creating and editing pictures and videos like this。Basic knowledge of cameras and computers themselves is a prerequisite.。It's very difficult to do anything、It's exhausting just thinking about it。Rather than repeating the same mistake dozens of times、sometimes I forget completely。Because I can't blame anyone、``You're too difficult,'' he said while shouting at the computer.、For now, I'm at my computer at this moment.。
