今を生きる
何もしなくても、一生懸命でも、１日は２４時間で同じスピードで流れていきます。人には『１を見る人』『１０を見る人』『１００を見る人』がいます。当然経営者や上に立つものは今だけでなく、１年後、１０年後を見据えて行動をしなくてはなりません。でも、１番大切なのは『今』です。『今』が基本です。今を全力で生きれない人が、１年、２０年先のことが見えるわけがありません。逆に、今を全力で生きれば、必ず明日や明後日、１年後、５年後が見えてきます。同じ時間を過ごすのならば、未来のためになる時間を使ってください。
『一生懸命』は周りが決めます。一生懸命が伝われば周りは必ず応援をしてくれます。先日電話を受けたものの声を聞いたら、とても暗く、元気がありませんでした。声、表情に心が表れます。心が元気で、いつも一生懸命ならば、いつでも、どんな時でも、声も、表情も明るくなるはずです。周りは必ずあなたをみて判断します。それを忘れず、いつも全力で今を生きてください。
Live This Moment
A day will always be just 24 hours long no matter what you are doing, whether you are doing nothing or you are working. There are three types of people: those who look at 1 [thing], those who look at 10 things, and those who look at 100 things. It is only natural that managers and superiors must look not only at the here and now but also one or even ten years in advance. However, the most important time is right now. This moment is the foundation [of the future]. Twenty years or even one year will not come to those who are living half-heartedly now. On the other hand, if you live this moment with your entire being, you will certainly see tomorrow, the next day, the next year, even the next five years. Spend your time [in preparation] for the future.
How hard you are working is decided by those around you. If you have expressed a hard-working [spirit], those around you will certainly support you. The other day when I called the office, the employee who answered the phone sounded tired and listless. Emotions or a person’s spirit are shown in his voice and facial expressions. If your heart is healthy and energetic and you always work hard, no matter when or what is happening, your voice and face will be bright and cheerful. Those around you are certainly watching you and judging you. Without forgetting this, live this moment with your entire being.
