「自分らしくとは？」by Kokoro Ogawa, EGJ member
What do you think about ”be yourself"? What is the definition of being yourself?
I honestly still don't understand why people are so obsessed with being themselves.Being yourself may indeed enrich your life. But being yourself depends on who you are, doesn't it?
I am now engaged in a variety of activities and have talked with many companies and adults, and I am constantly thinking about things from various perspectives but I don't believe that being yourself is the main point of life.People are influenced by others. There are many things to learn from them. That's why I think it's more important to be influenced by others than to be yourself.But I'm not saying it's wrong to be yourself. I think it's very important to act with your own will and not be influenced too much.Now that I've been through so much, I've come to the conclusion that it's important to balance the influences of others with your own intentions and the environment you're in, and to make decisions that seem difficult to you so that you can grow.
人生は一度きりです。時に学生の時期はもう２度と戻ってこない大事な期間です。できないと思ったことを積極的にやる。そんな人生を送りたいなと思っています。自分らしくいることは間違っていません。でも、自分らしくいつつ相手からの影響も受ける。そんな考えを持てるとより充実した生活が送れるのではないかなと感じています。(2021.09.04)
