Hello, everyone! How are you today? It’s Teacher Asuka.
Today, I’m going to talk about the importance of ‘Self-fulfilment’.
The other day, I have found a mandala-sheet, which is known as ‘Self-fulfillment sheet’ made by Ootani Shohei, who is one of a famous Major League Baseball Player in the US, as you already know. I was surprised at the contents.
Mandala-sheet by Ootani Shohei
This mandala-sheet above was made by him at the age of 16. In the sheet, you will write what you want to become the most in the center of the sheet. After this, you will write 8 elements around to realize the thing you want to be the most in the future. Then, you will pick one element each out of the 8 elements to make other mandala-sheets so that you can complete this ‘Self-fulfilment’ sheet at last.
His dream was to be selected as No1 draft into 8 Japanese Professional Baseball Teams at that time. To realize his dream, he had shown 8 elements as follows—Mentality, Fortune, Control, Sense of Humanity, how to build the body, Sharp way of throwing, how to throw changing spheres, and High-speed pitching.
For other example, raising his luck, he had also shown 8 elements such as Greetings, picking up some trash, cleaning his room, positive thinking, being behave politely for umpires, reading some books, dealing with his tools gently, and becoming a person who is cheered on by the people.
According to this awesome sheet, we can find how Ootani-san is so smart, positive, and generous person. I ‘d say that he is more than just a baseball player definitely.
Thank you for joining with me as well.
See you next time!

コメントを頂き、ありがとうございます。上達したい思いが強すぎて、空回りすることって誰にでも起こりうることだと思います。
英語の学習は、文法知識をつけるだけではなく、単語、発音などもバランスよく身につける必要があるために、毎日トレーニングすることが大切なんです。らせん状に向上するイメージで、肩の力を抜いて、人と比べず、楽しみながら、英語学習を続けてみましょう。その先にきっと上達している自分がいると思います。

すてきなコラムをありがとうございます。しばらく英語学習の停滞期で毎日勉強しているのに伸びた感がなく困っていました。楽しくないので脳も動かないしただこなしているだけ。こなさないと不安な感じ。こちらのコラムで改めて何のために英語学習をしているのか振り返り、この停滞期から抜け出さないと時間がもったいないなと思えました。
