"成長は継続的な自己反省を伴う"
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
Improving ourselves means we need to regularly think about our actions and choices. For example, imagine you want to get better at playing the piano. After each practice, you think about what went well and what didn’t. Maybe you notice you need to work on a certain skill, so you practice that part more next time. This process helps you become a better piano player over time. In life, it’s the same. If you reflect on your day, noticing things like how you treated people or handled problems, you learn and grow. You understand what works and what needs to change. Self-reflection can be looking back at how you reacted during a stressful day at work and deciding to handle things more calmly next time. By doing this regularly, you keep improving and become a better version of yourself.
