It is a book that reminds us with gentle words of
important things we tend to forget in our daily lives.

I myself gain new insights from this book every day.

At the start of the day, I would be happy if this could be a time that makes your heart feel a little lighter time.

■ August 12th: "Try polishing yourself a bit more"

The theme for August 12th is,
“Instead of just waiting for luck, polish yourself little by little and become someone who can receive opportunities.”
that is what it means.

“Self-improvement” might make you think of grooming your appearance or acquiring new knowledge or certifications.

Of course, that is one form of self-improvement.

However, what is truly important is not to become someone superior compared to others.

Growing just a little bit more than you were yesterday.

I believe that such daily accumulation is
what it means to polish yourself.

■ Polishing yourself is preparation for the future

There are times in life when you feel like
nothing you do goes well.

At such times, instead of just seeking results, it is good to think of it as
a time to refine yourself.

・Read books.
・Learn new things.
・Challenge yourself a little with things you are not good at.
・Review your lifestyle habits.

Even if it doesn't lead to results right away, that
effort will become the strength that supports your future self.

It is
preparation to become someone who can seize the opportunity when it arrives.

■ Small things are also excellent self-improvement

Self-improvement does not need to be a grand challenge.

・Groom yourself. ・Improve your posture a little. ・Greet others with a smile. ・Keep your promises. ・Do not put off communications or replies.

Such daily small actions are also
excellent self-improvement.

Even if each thing is small, for those who continue doing them,
naturally, trust and charm will accumulate.

■ Acting for the sake of others also polishes yourself

Self-improvementtends to focus only on oneself. However,
actions that make someone happyalso
help you grow yourself.

・Speak to someone who is in trouble. ・Say "thank you." ・Listen carefully to what the other person has to say.

By repeating such actions,
your thoughtfulness and how you interact with others will also be polished.

However, it is also important
not to seek a rewardby thinking, "I did this much for you."

Becoming someone who can naturally be of use to othersis likely what
cultivates your own charm.

■ If you are going to compare, compare with yourself yesterday

When you start self-improvement, you tend to compare yourself with people around you.

"That person is better than me" "I still have a long way to go" You might think things like that.

But, the person to compare withis not others, but
yourself yesterdayis enough.

・More than yesterdayI was able to study for 10 minutes more. ・
More than yesterdayI was able to talk to people more carefully. ・
More than yesterdayI was able to be a little more conscious of my posture.

That small changeis, I believe,
true growth.

■ Small practices you can start today

Today, why not decide on just one thingyou can do
to improve yourself?

・Read for 10 minutes reading. ・Be conscious of
posture. ・Do not put off
replying. ・Work on something you are not good at
for just 15 minutes.

Any small thing is fine.

Self-improvementis not something that changes drastically in one day.

Small daily "additions" gradually become confidence and turn into
your own charm and ability.

Grow just a little bit more than you were yesterday.

That accumulation will surely help build a version of you that can
seize future connections and opportunities.
