Be prepared
Surprisingly I can’t. It’s not that easy.
“Decide your resolve,” “Decide for this,” “Follow the results.”
In other words, I am responsible for the decisions I make.
As you get older, you inevitably start thinking about the consequences and taking various safety measures.
When you create an escape route, you lose your sense of integrity when it comes to making decisions.
If anything, I think about it a lot, listen to various opinions, and then learn how to cover things up by acting like I’m prepared.
Well, maybe that’s what it means to get older. Don’t be reckless or reckless.
Apart from that, there are preparations for specific cases such as the battle that divides the world and choosing a place of employment, and there is also preparation for the direction of life, such as bet on literature'' orbet on rock.” be.
I think that “betting on literature” means that you will gain all the successes and failures in your life, money, and status through your career in literature, and that you will bear all the consequences and responsibilities.
In other words, “literature” becomes a way of life, including daily life.
After all, when people make literature their way of life, they cannot endure that determination for the rest of their lives.
Life is long depending on your perspective. Will I be able to continue to put my all into literature while facing the hardships of going to higher education, getting a job, getting married, raising children, and getting sick?
Many people will probably compromise somewhere and put literature on the sidelines of their lives. In fact, I have no choice but to put it there. The way of life of office workers and the way of life of civil servants will be the center of attention.
And someday, when those core attitudes are over, I convince myself that I should do literature again. However, when he was able to face his long-cherished desire to study literature again, he found himself losing his former passion and becoming completely idle. The intense feeling I had at that time will never come back.
I think that determination is something that you have to do once in your life or not. It’s not something you can easily decide to do, or withdraw and then release.
That’s why I feel like determination is like a bloody judgment that puts your life on the line. I apologize for the sudden analogy, but I think Major League Baseball player Otani probably prepared for this at some point. And he still hasn’t wavered.
I think that unwaveringness is a kind of outstanding talent.
Yes, even if it’s not just for Otani players, being prepared is essential in the world of certain special skills.
And the determination that you have made to only look at the negative aspects and think only about compromise will inevitably be overturned at some point.
A simple look at the tragedies of many writers in the past will give you an idea of the failures, hardships, and downsides of “living in literature.”
Are you ready to “live a life in literature”? And can you proudly say it to others? At least, I can no longer tell people about it.
If you are not prepared for anything, you will not succeed, so what does “be prepared” mean?
Fighting against various anxieties in life. The determination I made when I was young. I believe that those who can stick to this throughout their lives without wavering will be the winners in life, whether they succeed in the end, collapse and die, or die as an alcoholic.
However, I don’t necessarily have to win…
“Be prepared, look at the cherry blossoms and think of spring.”
