年下の猛者たち

younger warriors

The night before the regular holiday, I met Pizzaiolo, who has been a good friend of mine.
Since we first met on New Year's Day,
The pizzaiolo (pizza chef) is a really friendly person.
I had the opportunity to go out for drinks for the first time,
It is no exaggeration to say that we have been working hard since the opening for this day.
 
At just 24 years old, he was an incredible guy who was entrusted with the responsibility of running the pizza oven of one of the world's most prestigious restaurants.
way of thinking, attitude toward work, consideration for others,
No matter what, he's better than a 36-year-old old man.
To be honest, it feels more like drinking with seniors than with younger people.
Every word I speak to him sinks into my heart,
Needless to say, it was a very fun night for me.
 
Lately, I've been thinking that the media is casually talking about the ``Yutori generation'' and ``Satori generation'' as they please.
But what I want you to remember is that
Most of the people who cause problems in the world are old men.
Of course I'm not saying everything, but
The younger generation thinks about things, makes choices, and acts better.
On the contrary, I feel that our generation is more sloppy.
 
When I look back, it's always the young people who help me grow.
A ``tailor'' cares about the other person and creates the best outfit for them.
A "shoe polisher" polishes shoes with all his heart.
And ``Pizzaiolo'' bakes the best pizza that will make everyone happy.
Before I knew it, I was surrounded by people who were younger and more enthusiastic than me.
While the younger ones are putting their lives on the line to complete their jobs,
What excuse can we give?
 
Everyone has tough times or times when they feel down.
But for me, when I see them working hard, I don't even have time to complain.
If you have time to make excuses, you have no choice but to take a step forward in what you need to do.
I'm really happy to have such inspirational people around me.
 
“If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do?”
 
If you asked them that question, they would definitely say,
 
“I want to do my own job.”
 
I was surrounded by incredibly fierce people,
Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow,
I have no choice but to do what I have to do, right?
 
There is a ``Masukake Line'' on the palm of Pizzaiolo.
Even though it is said that it is rare to have just one,
Unusual palms in both hands.
It is said that the hands of great people who became rulers of the world may or may not have had the same ``masukake line''.
 
Coincidentally, my son also has the same lines on both hands.
I sincerely hope that they will grow up like them.
