The Reason We Are Alive Today: We Who Have Received Gifts from Our Predecessors
The reason we are living "now" is not a coincidence.
It is precisely because of the "investments" that people who lived in the past entrusted to the future and left behind for us.
Establishing social systems, building schools and roads, advancing research, and protecting culture.
Each one of these might be a "time capsule" that has reached us.🐾
1. The Gift of Society
If you walk down the street, there are paved roads, and if you take a train, it safely carries you to your destination.
Schools, hospitals, water and sewage systems.
Everything we use as if it were natural is the crystallization of "money invested by someone in the past who believed in the future."
"I want to make the world I live in just a little bit better."
The investments of people who wished for that have been passed down to us as social infrastructure.
I think we who live today have already received many benefits.
2. The Gift of Technology
For example, the smartphone you are holding right now.
This, too, is the result of a long history of accumulated research and development.
Technology that someone invested money in decades ago, repeating failures until they finally arrived at it.
It is because there were people who believed in it and invested, not just scientists and companies, that we can enjoy a convenient and safe life.
The courage to "invest money in a challenge" is what creates the future.
3. The Gift of Culture
Investment is not limited to the economy.
Literature, art, music.
The culture that people in the past supported and continued to protect is what enriches our hearts today.
Watching a movie and being moved.
Touching a masterpiece and feeling your heart tremble.
That is because "someone" decided to leave it behind and spent time and money to keep protecting it.
Culture, too, is something shaped through investment in the future.
4. We Are the "Receiving Side"
Thinking about it this way, the fact that we are "living now" is not a coincidence.
It is because countless people believed in the future and entrusted their resources to it.
In other words, we are the "side that has received the gift to the future called investment."
That is precisely why, when thinking about how to use our own lives and assets, I think the perspective of how to pass that baton to the next generation naturally arises.
5. In Conclusion
The time capsule that people in the past buried for us.
We are living by opening it now.
Social systems, science and technology, and culture.
Everything is a gift that has been passed down through "a heart that believes in the future" becoming an investment.
Investment is not just a world of numbers.
I believe it is a human endeavor to create the future and connect it to the future.🍀
We who live today have received many "gifts to the future called investments," haven't we?🎁☺️
