takeda リストラを聞いたマニラ駐在の友人より届いたメール
Live your life with a joyful heart and keep your spirit free.
Stay true and firm to all your dreams and be the best that you can be.
Put God first in everything you do and success will surely follow you!
God brings us into this world from nothing,
but to him we mean something.
So he wants to share with us everything,
because he loves us more than anything.
Happiness isn’t getting what we want but being satisfied with what we have.
The way to be happy is to be grateful even with the small blessings we receive.
Never be discouraged when things do not measure to your expectation.
Always remember that the greatest glory in life is not winning, but rising every time we fall!
Trials don’t come to make us fall,
but rather to look to God to call.
Trials don’t serve as keys to hate,
but rather as doors to gather faith.
Life can give us a hundred reasons to cry, but God and give us a thousand reasons to smile!
God gives us strength to face our problems, not to flee from them.
Never regret a day in your life!
Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience.
Both are essential to life.
(T社リストラを聞いた、当時フィリピン駐在の友人から17年近く前、メールで送られたもの。フィリピンのクリスチャンの友人達からもらったメールを貯めたものと思われる。どの一節も心に響いた。「人生では決して悔やむことはない。順風満帆の日は幸せを享受し、まずい日々は経験を積むことができる。良い日も悪い日も人生に必要不可欠なものだ。」気持ちが萎えかかると、この最後の一節が力を与えてくれた。その後も数年に一度は、顔面蒼白になる家族の危機に遭遇したが、振り返るといい経験experienceだったと思い知る。)
