The Decision: To Give Up or Not to Give Up?
I want to cling to the world of creativity
and make a living.
This is the answer Mr. Nishino gave
to a question from
a certain creator.
If you have the desire to
"cling to the world of creativity and make a living
"and yet you say,
"
I have no talent"then I want to ask you this.
Have you tried every possibility?
Have you experienced
every position?
If you answer "no" to this,
I have only one thing
to say to you.
"
It is too early to raise the white flag
"
I couldn't help butgroan!in
agony.
Have you tried every possibility?
Have you experienced
every position?
Everything, that is!
I am soft, so
I give up before I even try
everything.
I make excuses to myself like,
"Is it really worth clinging to this much?"
or I look for reasons why I can't,
trying to take the easy way out.
Like, "This is just a hobby..."
or "I don't have the time..."
and I get caught in a whirlpool of excuses.
"It is too early to raise the white flag"
I am not saying,
"Don't give up on your dreams."
I am saying,
"The conditions for giving up on your dream are not yet met."
Also, make sure you eat your meals.
In the end, it's a battle of physical stamina.
I'm rooting for you.
Do your best.
I would like you to actually read
this text on Instagram.
After "It is too early to raise the white flag,"
there is a very poignant
message written.
It must be words
that only Mr. Nishino,
who has gone that far,
can say.
I feel like I'm going to get hooked
on the Nishino world.
Mr. Nishino wrote
"Dreams and Money" by Akihiro Nishino
and
I want both.
From the "Preface"
"Dream or Money?"
The people around you
will keep repeating that debate.
There is no need to listen.
All of that is just sleep-talking.
"Dreams" and "money" are not mutually exclusive.
We cannot choose
only "dreams."
When "money" runs out, "dreams"
run out. This is the truth.
If your parents or
school teachers said,
"Don't talk about money. It's vulgar,"
you should despise them.
If you have ever uttered
such words to children
even once in the past,
you should deeply reflect and
apologize to the children
face-to-face.
If you look at Japan's "suicide rate,"
"causes of suicide,"
and "motives for crime,"
you will understand how
fallen those words are.
Your words are
a push toward suicide and crime.
Your words are
the act of killing "dreams."
Why did you give up on your dream?
Why are you jealous of others?
Why, at your age,
do you engage in fruitless anti-activities?
You know the answer, don't you?
Then why
do you make children follow that path?
Don't run away.
What this country lacks right now is
"Hope."To have hope,
you need to talk about dreams and
learn about "money."
This applies to children, of course,
and to the adults who must show them the way.
If you say, "Stop talking about money all the time,"
fine. Then,
bring me someone who talks about
and acts on bigger dreams than I do.
If you can't do that,
then please listen to me.
I won't tell you what you want to hear.
I will tell you the truth to keep your dreams alive.
80 minutes is enough.
Akihiro Nishino (King Kong)
It looks easy to read.
The fact that he wrote
a specific reading time of 80 minutes
makes it easy to plan
when I might read it.
The YouTube video where he explains it
in a way that is easy for elementary school students to understand
was also interesting.
