Decade by Decade: Maxims From Myself to Myself

What were the keywords of my life?

Don't lump things together — look them straight in the eye.


For the me who might someday lose a sense of self and wander,

these are the lines I once wrote so desperately and carried with me in the present of the past. 


Maxims from myself, for myself.



Teens: Results are made not at the moment of choice, but by the process.

Twenties: normal story, think normal

Thirties: An unavoidable choice only creates an unavoidable situation. Before judging the situation or the other person,

           take one more step forward — "despite everything."

This English version was translated by Claude.
