無心になるには|To be Innocent|2020/10/29

経営者の集まりの会で、ストレスの話になった。寝ることが一番だと言われたが、悩みがあると夜中にいろいろ考えてしまい、眠れない。そんな事はないですかと聞き返すと、「ベッドの中では何も考えないんだよ」との答え。しかしついつい考えてしまうものじゃないかなとさらに聞くと「ボクは意思が強いんだよ」。なるほど。考えないという意思を持って無心にならないといけないんだ。その経営者は単に楽天家な人だと思っていたら、努力の成果なんだなぁ。(絵と文:サカキテツ朗)
At a meeting of business owners, we talked about stress. I was told that sleeping is the best, but when I have a problem, I think about it in the middle of the night and can't sleep. When I asked if there was such a thing, he answered, "I don't think about anything in bed." I asked him again how he did if he had a big trouble. He answered, "I have a strong will." I see. I have to be innocent with the intention of not thinking. I thought that the he was just an optimist, but it's the result of his efforts. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
