Summer

“Memories of a Distant Summer” Summer is special among the four seasons in JapanEspecially for children, it is a season of adventureEach one dreams of their summer vacationWhat kind of memories will be woven, I wonder Being young is a treasure in itself, butOne may lose confidence under the pressure of examsOr have their spirit worn down by intense club activitiesYouth also comes with emotional fragilityYet youth is given the gift of time When you feel stuck or troubled in studies or activitiesDo not shrink back or deny yourselfInstead, build the habit of steadily carrying onThis is the secret to using time well in hard times Do not brood! Do not cry!Let your heart and body be free under the summer sun!A negative mind steals your youthful energyBelieve in your own hopes and enjoy to the fullest! A positive and active spirit of adventureIs this not the privilege of youth?A season when everyone can become Tom SawyerBright smiles suit the summer sun Someday, everyone will become an adultAnd the time will come to look back on youthIf those distant summer memories shine brightlyWhat you felt and thought then will come back to lifeAnd you will encounter your pure, young soul once again 「遠い夏の思い出」 日本の四季の中でも夏は特別だ特に子ども達にとっては冒険の季節それぞれが夏休みに思いを馳せるどんな思い出が紡がれるのだろうか 若いということはそれ自体が財産だが受験勉強に追い込まれ自信を失くしたり部活の猛練習に気力を削がれることもある若いということは心の脆弱さも伴うしかし若さには時間が与えられている 勉強や部活が行き詰まったり悩んだ時は弱腰や逃腰で自己否定するのではなく淡々とこなす習慣を身つける苦しい時の時間の使い方の極意だ クヨクヨするな！メソメソするな！夏の太陽の下で心も身体も解放しよう！ネガティブな心は若いエネルギーを奪う自らの希望を信じ思いっきり楽しめ！ ポジティブでアクティブな冒険心これこそが若さの特権ではないだろうかみんながトム・ソーヤになれる季節夏の太陽には満面の笑顔が似合う いつかはみんな大人になるそして青春時代を振り返る時が来るだろう遠い夏の思い出が輝いていればその時何を思い何を考えていたかが蘇り純粋な若き魂との邂逅が訪れる
