It’s Nijo! Good morning!!
Are you still regretting yesterday’s mistakes? Let’s start today bright and cheery!

【Surpassing Your Threshold Value】

Your ‘threshold value’ is the borderline area you return to if you do not accomplish what you must to surpass your threshold value.

If you do not continue trying until you pass your threshold value, you do not acquire anything.
That is true in sports, music, human relationships and everything else.
What you put effort into during your student years, you surpassed your threshold value.
For example, a person who played the guitar as a student had much time to play every day, thus improved his/her playing.
However, since starting to work, the person became busy and hasn’t touched a guitar in six years.
Just because the person hasn’t played the guitar for six years, definitely doesn’t mean he/she returns to a beginner.
If you hand the person a guitar, he/she will be able to play even after six years of not playing.
A person’s playing will never return to that of a beginner.
This is what you call surpassing your threshold value.

The same goes for work.
What is most important is to become completely absorbed in what you are doing and to try as hard as you can.
Without this, there is no success.

Some people might think I’m spouting spiritual theories again.
There are also probably people who think that it is useless to blindly try as hard as you can.
I do not think so. I believe that ‘quantity surpasses quality.’
In the end, whoever tries the hardest wins.
A person who tries half-heartedly is half-hearted at everything.
It is important to try and accomplish what is in front of you in the spirit of losing oneself.
Surpassing your threshold value.
Are you surpassing yours?


It’s Nijo! Good morning!!
二条です！おはようございます！！

Are you still regretting yesterday’s mistakes? Let’s start today bright and cheery!
昨日の失敗を悔やんでいませんか？今日は明るく元気にまいりましょう！

【Surpassing Your Threshold Value】
【閾値を超えよう！】

Your ‘threshold value’ is the borderline area you return to if you do not accomplish what you must to surpass your threshold value.
「閾値」とは，閾値を超えるまでやり遂げなければ，やらなかったことと同じ最初の状態に戻ってしまう，ボーダーラインのことを言います。

If you do not continue trying until you pass your threshold value, you do not acquire anything.
閾値を超えるまでやらなければ，何事も身につきません。

That is true in sports, music, human relationships and everything else.
What you put effort into during your student years, you surpassed your threshold value.
スポーツにしても，楽器にしても，人間関係にしても，なんにしても，閾値を超えなければ，何事も成し遂げられません。
学生時代に取り組んできたことは，閾値を超えています。

For example, a person who played the guitar as a student had much time to play every day, thus improved his/her playing.
例えば，学生時代にギターを弾いていた人。学生時代は時間もありましたから，毎日弾いて腕前も上達しました。

However, since starting to work, the person became busy and hasn’t touched a guitar in six years.
しかし，もう社会人になって忙しく６年もギターに触れていません。

Just because the person hasn’t played the guitar for six years, definitely doesn’t mean he/she returns to a beginner.
６年もギターを弾いていませんが，だからと言って腕前が初心者に戻ること言うことは絶対にないのです。

If you hand the person a guitar, he/she will be able to play even after six years of not playing.
６年弾いていなくても，ギターを渡せば，ちゃんと弾くことができるのです。

A person’s playing will never return to that of a beginner.
決してギターを弾いたことがない初心者レベルに腕前が落ちることはありません。

This is what you call surpassing your threshold value.
これが閾値を超えるということです。

The same goes for work.
働くことも同じです。

What is most important is to become completely absorbed in what you are doing and to try as hard as you can.
もっとも大切なのは，一心不乱にがむしゃらに頑張る，という心構えです。

Without this, there is no success.
これなくして，どんな成功もありません。

Some people might think I’m spouting spiritual theories again.
こんなことを言うとまた精神論か，と思う人もいるかもしれません。

There are also probably people who think that it is useless to blindly try as hard as you can.
闇雲に頑張ってもだめだよという人もいると思います。

I do not think so.
しかし，私はそうは思いません。

I believe that ‘quantity surpasses quality.’
「量は質を超える」と思っています。

In the end, whoever tries the hardest wins.
最後は，あきらめずに一心不乱にやったものが勝ち残るのです。

A person who tries half-heartedly is half-hearted at everything.
中途半端な人間は，何をやっても中途半端です。

It is important to try and accomplish what is in front of you in the spirit of losing oneself.
とにかく我を忘れて目の前のことをやり遂げることが大切なのです。

Surpassing your threshold value.
閾値を超える。

Are you surpassing yours?
あなたは閾値を超えていますか？
