静かな泉の水は涸れる: A quiet spring will disappear, but constant renewal keeps a spring alive

  スピーチ最後の部分です。「今日のスピーチからたった一つの単語でいいですから覚えてくださいね、”Tenacity”です」と。「どなたかTenacityの意味を日本語で言ってくださいませんか？」にハンガリー系の青年、トリスタン君が挙手し、「”しつこい”とか”粘り強い”でしょう。しつこいは良い日本語ではありませんが」と答えてくれました。「ハイ、そうですね、有難う！”不屈”が良い訳でしょうか」と筆者。

　I was quick to answer the word "Tenacity, when asked "what we can learn from you?" by some newspaper reporters or many American friends. I stressed the word “tenacity,” in Japanese FUKUTSU. I hope you to remember the word "Tenacity,"  from my today’s speech; only one word is fine! Because, “If you have goals and you are tenacious, (I mean you have tenacity), I don’t think there is anything you cannot achieve.”

 Lastly, "words of Wisdom by Mother":I dedicated my dissertation to my mother, and then she wrote this inscription(献辞).　Could anybody please read this? "　　 "A quiet spring will disappear, but constant renewal keeps a spring alive" (”静かな泉の水は涸れる”）

Thank you for listening! 　（彩の渦輪）
