Into the book
When forming relationships, it is important to be honest with others, but it is also important to be honest with yourself.
The most natural and, above all, pleasant relationship can be built by honestly forming relationships based on what you think, such as, "I think I'll get along well with this person," or "I feel like things keep going wrong with this person, so I should keep my distance so I don't make mistakes."
--- p.32
Many people feel dissatisfied at work because they feel they are not being paid appropriately for their skills or efforts.
But, 'where I am now is my ability'.
Often, people who don't even put in the slightest effort without thinking about it claim to be treated the same as those who work hard and squeeze out their wisdom.
That's a really ridiculous story.
If you think that the treatment you are receiving now is poor, don't be dissatisfied, but use it as an opportunity for growth.
--- p.79
You can never be 100 percent prepared for something.
Sometimes you may be underprepared and be asked to prepare properly again.
You may have been unprepared for that one, but overall, the skills you've accumulated so far will make up for any lack of preparation.
The skill I'm talking about here is the foundation that allows you to maintain a certain level of performance even when you're feeling down or in pain because it doesn't lead to success, that is, when you're in a slump.
I must overcome slumps with the strength and experience I have accumulated through preparation and dedication.
If you do this, at some point you will get on the track of qualitative development.
Learning the skills to endure until then is the professional attitude.
--- p.99
You can't change the past, which has already happened.
However, we can change the interpretation of that past.
The moment I begin to have hope for the future, my interpretation of the past changes.
If you regret that you wish you had realized it sooner, but you consider it to have taken your entire life to be able to think like this, then it is proof that your interpretation of the past has changed.
I don't know when that turning point will come.
You can start trying at any time.
If you do that, you may not get where you want to go, but you will get where you need to go.

Publisher's Review
The mindset for living as a mature adult
Looking back, it is full of regrets, and looking far ahead, it is a bleak 'adult life'.
I resolve to live diligently today, but my heart begins to waver violently because of a single word from someone, a small mistake, a tangled relationship, or a sudden uncertainty about the future.
When will I finally become an adult who maturely accepts and navigates everything? "Things I See Now That I'm an Adult" contains the wisdom essential for adulthood, which can feel overwhelming twelve times a day, about work, relationships, love, self-realization, and aging.
This book says that the time of being immature and childish is the process of becoming an adult.
I am who I am today because I had a past full of mistakes.
What matters is 'now'.
Because I can determine the past time based on what I value and what efforts I make in my life now.
So, rather than dwelling on regrets like, "I wish I had known sooner," or "That was such a stupid choice," you should use that as a stepping stone to create the present.
All I have to do is live my life focusing on what I can do, rather than what I can't do, wherever I am.
That is the life of a mature adult presented in this book.
The author, who has walked the path of a creator for a long time from his thirties to seventies, gave warm and experienced life advice that made one million followers laugh, cry, and find comfort and strength.
As you read the book, you will feel as if you are leaning on the advice and encouragement of a cheerful and reliable senior in life. Before you know it, you will feel a solid center taking root in your heart.
“I know that in the future, I will never be younger than I am at this moment, but I will spend each day believing in my potential and enjoying it.
As each year passes, my body ages.
The body's strength also gradually weakens.
But don't worry.
Because as humans, we are becoming stronger and stronger.
“Even if my body dies weak, I want to die with my mind as strong as possible. This is how I live my life.” _From the text
