今日は大学受験生は全国共通テストの1日目でした。雪など天候による、公共交通機関の大きな乱れのニュースもなかったので概ね無事終わったのかと思います。しかし、いつもこの後に特殊なカンニングをしただの試験漏れだの、いろんな問題が出てくるのが例年です。確かに人生を左右するような試験のような気がしますし、その側面があることも現実かもしれません。でも他方で、そんなもので人生は変わりません。正確に言うと、その試験が成功したか失敗したかくらいで、その人の人生の幸せの数は変わりません。もし変わっている気がしているなら、手の中にある幸せに謝らないといけません。すでにその試験を無事受けられている彼らは、ある意味で全員成功者であり、受験会場にしっかりと座っている自分を褒めてほしいのです。そしてそういう自分であれた、境遇に、環境に、感謝できれば良いと思うのです。

近々昇級試験があります。それに向けての稽古もしていますが、それは大義ではありません。大義は稽古をすること。そして技に精度を少しずつ求める自分になっていくことです。そのために、受けも精度をもってやっていかなければなりません。自分一人では本当の上達はあり得ません。
Today was the first day of the nationwide Common Test for university admissions. There were no major reports of disruptions to public transportation due to snow or weather, so it seems that the day concluded largely without incident. As is often the case, however, reports of unusual cheating methods or exam-related problems tend to surface afterward every year.
It certainly feels like this is an exam that can determine the course of one’s life, and in some respects that may be true. At the same time, however, an exam like this does not truly change a person’s life. More precisely, whether one succeeds or fails at this single test does not change the total amount of happiness a person will have in life. If it feels as though it does, then one should apologize to the happiness already in their hands. The fact that these students were able to sit for the exam safely today already makes them, in a sense, successful. I want them to praise themselves simply for being there, seated properly in the examination hall. And if they can also feel gratitude for the circumstances and environment that allowed them to be there, that would be enough.

A promotion test is coming up soon, and we are training with that in mind, but that is not the main purpose. The true purpose is simply to train, and to become someone who gradually seeks greater precision in technique. For that reason, uke must also practice with precision. True improvement is never possible by oneself alone.
