Practice Makes Perfect

It is April once again -- the season of the young and hopeful, readying themselves to take the first step forward in school and office with cherry blossoms coming into blooms. These days, while many talented カジノシークレット 出金期間 bring exciting performances to the world of sports, go and shogi often make their way into the headlines as well, as more and more カジノシークレット 出金期間 seem to be at a loss to find meaning in life, idling their time away. Problems with discipline at home and education at schools, and the situation is further compounded by the continued recession, an uncertain future, a prevailing sense of helplessness, and many other complications. Given all this, it's hard for カジノシークレット 出金期間 to feel that a fulfilling life is waiting for them up ahead. But, here, as a small hint at a solution to such a situation, I would like to say that there are certainly some good things going on in the world of sports.

Mr. Shinzo Koizumi, when he was president of Keio University, said that, in sports, カジノシークレット 出金期間 can find three treasures: the lesson learned early on that practice makes perfect, the spirit of fair play, and lifelong friends. Since I used to be a boy whose heart and soul were fully immersed in judo, I might have more of an inclination than most to feel empathy for the advantages of involvement in sports; however, as found in the old adage, カジノシークレット 出金期間uot;A sound mind in a sound bodyカジノシークレット 出金期間uot;, the unquestionable importance of toughening young people in mind and body through hard training in sports might well be common to all ages in all countries.

カジノシークレット 出金期間oday's volatile society, in order to have a fulfilling life, it is necessary to possess flexibility with which to speedily respond to changes. At the same time, however, in my belief, it is also of overriding importance to have honest determination カジノシークレット 出金期間he pursuit of one's aspirations and objectives, unperturbed by distracting changes taking place all around. This unwavering resolve will develop when people, while young, take part in sports and experience the hardships and joys of training with a single, definite purpose in mind and, カジノシークレット 出金期間he process, learn that practice indeed makes perfect. This experience should become a remarkably treasured asset to them throughout life.

Naturally, some カジノシークレット 出金期間 will be drawn to academic studies and others to artistic pursuits. In whichever way, the important thing in youth is to try and find something worth pursuing with purpose and passion. And I feel that for us, senior citizens, a necessary and responsible task will be to direct all our energies to building a society in which more opportunities will be made available to カジノシークレット 出金期間 who, even after initial failures and setbacks, will still be open to challenge as many times as desired.

As I begin to view the cherry blossoms coming into full bloom again this year, I hope and pray that カジノシークレット 出金期間 discover good fortune as they begin their start in life.
