I have always said, 'I hate people who hang their life theories on others,' so basically, I don't do that.

Even if there is a person in front of me who is certain to fail in the future, I would not advise him.

"Keep smiling and watch that guy sink"

That is my stance.

And, well, I have "sunk" many times in that way, and I am glad that I did.

Because I believe that I have the 'right to fail.

Even my own children, I take the same stance -- except when it comes to their lives and property.

So, for the most part, I don't talk to my daughters about it, but they do ask me for advice (mainly my seior daughter).

To summarize her consultation,

"I want to work well with multiple perspectives"

Ebata: "Don't worry. Just getting older will give you a 'multifaceted perspective' even if you leave it alone. After all, we all are living in vain.

She: "Right now, I want to be 'so'."

Ebata: I don't know it is easy. Because 'young' is destined to be 'licked' regardless of ability.

She:"Isn't ability appreciated?"

Ebata: "Ability is difficult to evaluate. For example, when I was in my 20s, people said I was stupid or an idiot, but when I do it now, they say 'You are a brilliant person!"

She:"..."

Ebata: "So, I think it's good that you should just 'let other people's evaluations slide".

'The most ridiculous thing you can do is stop yourself from doing what you want to do because of the opinions of others.'

Many people said that, however, I am afraid that they don't say

"You don't realize it until the last inning of your life"
