One morning I thought,
I shall decide what I will do, by a standard that is not whether I think I can or can not do it but whether I want to do or not.
One morning I thought,
It is not failing that I fear, but others seeing me fail.
One morning I thought,
So, if I quit caring about how others see me, I can live without fear of failure.
One morning I thought,
I will not live to be evaluated by others, I will live to be evaluated by myself.
One morning I thought,
I will not live so that others think I’m “cool”. I will live in away that I myself feel is cool.
One morning I thought,
What kind of person do I think is cool?
It's the person who feels cool even before he succeeds in his endeavors.
One morning I thought,
If “coolness” is dependent upon my success, in actuality it is the success, not me, that is “cool”.
If so, I'm not interested.
One morning I thought,
I will decide what is cool for myself.
If my “coolness” is in associating with people who are recognized by others, that coolness is not because of who I am but who they are. I'm not interested.
One morning I thought,
Before I succeed, I must succeed in "taking action".
That will be my big victory. Because many people don’t act in reality just in the thoughts of their heads.
