[TS125] Chalkboard Series Vol. 18 - Commentary Edition
[TW277] Chalkboard Series Vol. 18
Interpretation of BLUE🌱
The more you emphasize the past, the more you are revealing that you are not doing well in the present☺️
Furthermore, performing your own "greatness" without realizing you are borrowing someone else's achievements
This, like the first point, is like emphasizing that you are not doing well yourself☺️

Explanation of BLUE
🪧 Words from J’s BAR (Transcript)
Wine Bar "J’s BAR"
If you worked hard in the past and are putting it to use now,
it should be fine to "boast about the present".
Furthermore, if it's boasting about someone other than yourself,
it makes no sense at all.
🧩 Let's read and interpret one sentence at a time
If you worked hard in the past and are putting it to use now, "boasting about the present" should be fine.
If what you "worked hard on in the past" is truly valuable, it should be "put to use as your current strength."
In other words, if you are going to boast, you should talk about "what you can do now."
"I was great in the past" is no longer a boast, is the message.
🪞 This is a quiet encouragement to cherish living in the present here🈁☺️
👇 Yellow part (present here🈁, now, peace of mind)

Furthermore, if it's boasting about someone other than yourself, it makes no sense at all.
A jab at people who bring up the achievements of others (family, friends, acquaintances, affiliated organizations) and talk "as if they themselves are great"
It is seen as "just bluffing by borrowing something that is not your own value."
Or, performing your own "greatness" without realizing you are borrowing someone else's achievements.
💭 In short:
Clinging to "vicarious pride" through someone other than yourself has no essential meaning☺️
➡️ Including a warning to myself as well😅
✨ The core message of these words
🌱It is most sincere and cool to compete with "your own strength here and now"😎
🌪️ Not the past, not others, but "the current you" being able to quietly take pride in that is a true "boast".
🥂 Like a glass to savor these words...
This chalkboard message might be a "question" from the master, inviting you to quietly face your "now" while enjoying a glass of wine at the bar.
Where do you keep your pride?
Where do you keep your pride?
Maybe it's time I went to visit the master again 🍷☺️
