Living cool
◇◇--------------------------------------------------------------◇◇
While we were enjoying dinner, my six grade daughter suddenly
burst into tears.
I gently asked what made her cry, and apparently some kids were
talking behind her back at school. She is a group leader and all she
did was tell some kids in her group that they were being too noisy.
Like father, like daughter. She has a strong sense of justice
and can't stand people breaking the rules or lacking discipline.
It was natural for my daughter to caution them, but it backfired.
Being right is not always being correct.
Judging between right and wrong depends on person and place.
For instance, what's best for the customer is less profitable
for the company.
That means the more happy the customer is, the less happy
the company is.
But many companies throw around flimsy catch phrases like
"make the customer happy."
I wondered how to explain this contradiction to my daughter,
and I told her what I always believe.
Do only what you think is cool to do!
Judging right and wrong is measured by the rest of the world.
But you must not acquiesce if you have to compromise your principles.
If you think it is cool to bully other kids, bully them.
If you think it is cool to steal from others, steal from them.
But if you act on your inner thoughts, surely you will lose a lot, too.
Hence, living cool takes courage.
And you cannot be courageous by using poor judgement.

たまたま偶然にバイリンガル@門屋奈緒美ちゃんの【使える英語】にも、
これとまったく同じ第656滴の英訳が載っていました。よく考えたら、
我が家は梅林中学の校区なのでバイリンガルと非常に近しい関係でした。
私は英語がペラペラなんだけど確認のために毎週楽しみに読んでいます。

なにか日本語の文章を英訳して欲しい人は絶対に私には言わないでくれ。
では、また明日、お会いできるのを楽しみにしています。
