The horoscope I check every year says this:
In 2019, Cancer will be "helping others"
"Do something for others"
The theme of the exhibition is "What is the meaning of 'Kansai'?"This "person" is,
From those closest to us to "everyone in society,"
It means a wide range of people .
Cancers will be helpful to others this year! (Different meaning)
I was thinking about this at the beginning of the year, and the other day, while I was eating delicious pizza in Kamiyama during a meeting, Nishimura Yoshitetsu said to me,
"Mr. Manabe, in a word, wants to be useful to people. And he wants to do it in a creative way. That's what I was thinking in the bath this morning." (In the bath)
In society, everyone, somewhere, belongs to someone.
I think it's helping me, every single day.
However, when you don't realize that you are being useful or you don't find joy in it, you lose your place in society and fall into a state of self-discovery. I spent a long time in that situation.
I've been asked a lot recently what motivates me to do what I do now.
In response to that question, I have answered that it is my own sense of discomfort with the world.
I am a very negative person.
This is what's wrong with that person.
This is what's wrong with this product.
This is what's bad about this company.
This part of the world is no good, that part is no good.
I think I always said something like that (in an arrogant manner).
This sense of discomfort became a kind of energy, and I continued to struggle desperately.
However, do you find attractive people who loudly repeat the same statements, brandishing their "right arguments" about things that are "outside" the "scope" of their influence (as is often seen on social media)?
In other words, he is someone who is unclear about his place in society, is unable (or willing) to take any risks in order to gain access to it, and simply grumbles about it.
That's the kind of person I was.
But through her role as "manager" at Nomadic Kitchen and the food hub, she discovered she could help others, too.
And I thought that doing this in a "creative" way meant increasing the total amount of "positives."
A friend of mine shared this on Facebook the other day:
In social science, there are those who believe that happiness comes from reducing negativity and those who believe that happiness comes from increasing positivity, with the former being found in Japan and Taiwan, and the latter in Latin America. Europe and the United States are somewhere in between.
Regardless of whether I am Latin American or not, I am a very "negative" person, but when it comes to my social "role," I feel motivated to increase the "positivity."
In 2019, Cancer will be "helping others"
"Do something for others"
That seems to be the theme.
Please look forward to this year's Cancers. (laughs)
