Seeing yourself through Corona

I tried drawing with a different software than the other day.。Illustration software usually comes with a video guide called a ``tutorial.''、I'll do it after I see it、Not once has everything gone smoothly according to the instructions.。Stuck from the beginning、It can't be like that、I watched the video again and again、Still, for some reason it doesn't always work as per the guideline.。After thrashing around、Even when I think I finally understand、It can take several more hours to reach the beginning.。According to the manual, it only takes 1 second to pass.。Before, I would have gotten angry and destroyed my computer.。I'm still pretty irritated、I'm starting to think that's an idiom.。

Most software developers are not painters or illustrators (apparently)。Designers also “demonstrate how to do it” in tutorials、(Because explanation time is limited) Everyone explains quickly at their own level.、Beginners are understandably confused。Just knowing that、My computer gets scratched a lot less.、My blood pressure has also stabilized.。

Learning new things requires a huge amount of time and effort.。Considering the knowledge and understanding of computers、It seems I need three times more perseverance than the average person.。Currently in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic、I think I just happened to be given that time.。

like many people、My life has also been greatly affected by the coronavirus.。Despite the painful effects、I started walking like a different person than I did a few years ago.、I also learned a lot of information from the radio while walking.。I accidentally replaced my computer.、We have also introduced various software。

If you think about it、With or without the coronavirus pandemic、I should have changed myself sooner.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。If there was no coronavirus、I may have lost my last chance to change myself (even if it's actually too late)。From the perspective of human history、It seems that viruses also contribute to the evolution of many forms of life.。-I find myself nodding my head slightly.。

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。

library doesn't open

2020From late December、Prefectural libraries remain closed for a long time.。“Unnecessary and non-urgent” is now being used recklessly.、I guess libraries are also considered non-essential.。

People who want to borrow books from the library are lining up.、I have never seen a scene where the bookshelves are packed with people like a commuter train.。Therefore, at least "Sanmitsu" (proposed by Governor Koike)、Really stupid abbreviation = hermetically sealed、Dense、"close contact)" should not be the reason for the closure.。If there is a public library that is closed due to Sanmitsu.、On the contrary, it can be boasted that it is a highly cultural area (although before the museum closed, the museum was making suspicious announcements such as ``Mask,'' ``Stay apart,'' and ``About 1 hour.'')。

Sumo wrestling is reaching its final stage。It's an unexciting place without the top three.、Still, 5,000 visitors who passed the lottery to buy tickets are gathering at the Kokugikan.。I am also a big sumo fan.、Honestly、5000I don't really understand people's reasons.、I can't believe there is a (morning) commuter train that doesn't run on Sanmitsu.。Still, it is not considered a problem、Because it's essential to life、I guess that means。Entertainment is essential for people。That's why sumo is good。I agree with that。so、"Knowledge and speculation、Education” is “unnecessary and non-urgent” in daily life。I see.。

surely、At least for Liberal Democratic Party Diet members, "knowledge" and "contemplation/culture" are not only unnecessary, but also "enemies" that they want to ban.。Prime Minister Suga's ``rejection of appointment as a member of the Science Council'' is a truly ridiculous example of this.。What “knowledge” and “contemplation/culture” do they seek?、It is solely for the purpose of promoting economic activities (simply put, for the company).、``Thinking and education'' means obedience and ``following instructions silently.''、Perhaps the idea is to mislead people into thinking that the state of suspension of thinking that ``shouldn't be wrapped around long objects'' is ``useful for society.''。

If you think about it that way, library closures will be prolonged.、I can understand it well。if possible、Performing "unnecessary and non-urgent" seismic diagnostics、Maybe it's true that I want to destroy it。But、It doesn't seem like that's what you're doing、Japan's future etc.、I can't imagine anything other than downfall.。Now is the time to “learn from the past” while “stay home”、new knowledge and ways of thinking、It's a chance to develop deep thinking.、Without this, ``post-coronavirus'' will only lead to an old age hell.。It is true that public libraries are underutilized.、So if you think it's no big deal to close, you're wrong.。Rather、At such an important time、Why isn't the value of use being reconsidered?、I think it's important to think about why libraries exist in the first place.。I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is on the same level as "medical care," which makes the difference between life and death.、It's not comparable to GO TO Travel or Somehow Eat.、I think so。
