“Playful Spirit” A pencil with a sharp point is easy to break.A blunted tip is better sometimes –Like our minds, it needs some allowance. Although we should aim high,There are unexpected trials and stressesWaiting for us during our long journey.Keep in mind that adversity might come your way,But having a playful spirit will make it easier to bear. Imagine what you enjoy the mostWith a pure and child-like heart.It is a kind of shelter, so to speak.In life, there are mountains to climbBut there are also valleys.When you go down into one, don’t feel defeated.Use your imagination, let your spirit play,And think to yourself: that’s life! In the worst moments of your life,Pride or solemnity will only weigh you down,But a playful spirit will become your refuge. 「遊び心が身を守る」 尖った鉛筆は折れやすい先は丸い方が良い心でいえば余裕が必要なのだ 目標は高く持つものだが長い旅路の途上には想定外の試練や想定以上のストレスが待っているそういう試練やストレスを想定内に納めておくのもの手だが遊び心が身を守る事も知るべきだ 遊び心とは子どものような純粋な心で自分の最も好きなことを想像することだ言わば一種の逃げ場所でもある山を登ることだけが人生ではない谷に降りることも人生なのだ谷に降りたら敗北感に捕われないことだこれも人生と遊び心を働かす 人生最悪と思えるような時も遊び心が人生のシェルターとなるプライドや真面目さは役に立たない
