Leave it to the Experts
Hello!
This is Tama-chan.
Today's topic is 'Leave it to the experts' (Mochi wa mochiya).
Does everyone know this saying?
Here is what it means.
The proverb 'Mochi wa mochiya' (literally 'Rice cakes are for the rice cake shop') means that it is better to leave specialized matters to the professionals in that field. It originated from the idea that making rice cakes requires skill and experience, and rice cakes made by a professional shop are tastier and of higher quality than those made by an amateur. It is used metaphorically to express that you get better results when you leave things to people who have specialized knowledge and skills.
The reason I'm talking about this is because it's something I felt myself recently.
My daughter has been restless while sleeping lately and keeps waking up crying, so I messaged an acupuncturist friend on LINE.
Actually, I had looked it up myself, but most of the answers were based on Western thinking, and there wasn't much I could do on my own.
My acupuncturist friend replied right away, teaching me how to deal with it using the Eastern concept of meridians, so I put it into practice.
My wife and I looked at each other in surprise at how calm she became.
No, I was truly amazed.
That's when I thought:
'Leave it to the experts.'
Actually, I had looked into Eastern concepts too.
But I couldn't understand them at all because of the unique terminology and way of thinking.
My friend really saved me.
Nowadays, if something happens, you can look it up on the internet immediately.
You can even watch videos on how to deal with it.
But, it is still faster to consult a professional in a field that has been properly studied.
In my case, I can confidently explain and provide care for chronic pain during movement that is hard to resolve.
You are all professionals in something, too.
That is exactly why 'Leave it to the experts' applies.
Don't worry alone; ask a professional and deal with it early!
I share health information, self-care methods, and exercises.
