人がチャレンジしないことにもチャレンジしがち
子供がいると色々と考える。
自分の場合、日本に生まれ、普通に大学まで行った。特段裕福というわけではないと思うけれど、その途中でバックパックにハマって世界中を旅したり、恵まれた環境で育ってきた。
自分では、大学なんて意味ないなんて言いながらも、のらりくらりと大学まで気楽な学生生活も送らせてもらった。
自分を自己分析すると、学力、並み。運動能力、並み。性格、一見陽気。人間性、悪い、自己中。とまあ、特段能力で優れた部分はない。
けれど、思い返すと1つ、幸運にも、1つ。人がチャレンジしないことにもチャレンジしがちという習性が一つだけあったので、比較的自由に大人になれた。
子供のことを思うのと、何が正解かわからないけれど、今後、人の作ったルールの中で要領良く大きくやっていけるのが良いのか、小さくても自分の決めたルールで自由にやっていけるのが良いのか。そこは子供、それぞれの性格によるのかな。

I think about a lot of things about children
In my case, I was born in Japan and went to university normally. I don’t think I was particularly wealthy, but I grew up in a privileged environment and I started backpacking and travelling around the world.
Although I told myself that university was pointless, I was allowed to live a carefree student life until I got there.
Self-analysis shows that my academic ability is average. Athletic ability, average. Personality, seemingly cheerful. Human nature, bad, self-centred. Well, I don’t have any particular skills in which I excelled.
But when I think back, there is one thing, fortunately, one thing. I had a habit of challenging things that other people didn’t challenge, so I was relatively free to grow up.
I think about my children and I don’t know what the right answer is, but in the future is it better to be able to do big things to the best of your ability within the rules that other people have made, or is it better to be small but free to do things within the rules that you have made? I think that depends on each child’s personality.
