I often recommend enlightening books or philosophy books. But for
some people, reading enlightening books can make them painfully
aware of their own shortcomings, and they might feel a slight
despair about themselves. For some, seeing the lives of great
people can make them painfully aware of their own shortcomings, and
they might feel a slight despair about themselves. But I want you
to remember yourself as a child— Have you really grown that much?
Have you grown even a little? Most likely, it’s the latter.
When people try to grow, it’s said that using high-level ndividuals
as role models is a good approach. But seeing the gap between that
pinnacle and themselves can sometimes make them feel too anxious,
and their efforts and emotions might start going spectacularly
wrong. Sometimes they might even throw away all their past efforts
and scream. It’s the panic of too much anxiety.
Some might even shout that taking another step seems pointless.
Some might even shout that everything about themselves seems
pointless. Their brain is bursting bursting. So, what should you
do at such times? Don’t look up at the faraway, high-high
mountain peak. Look at the ground as you walk. If you like, watch
the movement of your own feet as you walk, and take pleasure in it
as you walk. For now, just move forward. For now, just move
forward. Yes, yes, move forward. In the end, if today’s self is
growing more than yesterday’s, that’s enough. Let’s take the
first step. Eventually, we might reach the mountain peak.
Eventually, eventually, we might get closer. No, maybe we’ll never
get close. But even so, isn’t that okay? Huh? Do you want to
become number one in the world? Eh? You’re aiming for world number
one? Ehhhh?! How did it come to that?
P.S.
I’ve never aimed to be at the TOP. Trying to aim for that
is stressful. The turnover is intense. Even if you somehow become
the top by chance, it seems like it would end in an instant. If you
say that anything other than TOP is worthless, life would almost
always be hell. Moreover, the TOP is easily envied and crushed.
That’s why I want to be somewhere near the top across all
fields. Near the top. I want to go near the top.
