You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
昨夜の出来事。
Today’s topic is something that happened last night.
ベストパートナーになるためには、という本を読んで”自宅は休むところではなく、最大の取引先と捉えるべし”と書いてあったので、それを実践してみた。
I was reading a book called How to Become the Best Partner, and it said that a home is not just a place to rest—it should be where you treat your family as your most important business partners. So, I decided to put that idea into practice.
まずは、子供に対し、要求を全て飲んでみることにし、だっこを求められるだけやってあげた。すると、いつもより早く、しかも機嫌よく就寝してくれた。
When my son asked me to hold him in my arms, I accepted his request. After that, he went to bed in a good mood and even earlier than usual.
この経験から、相手に尽くすことで、わたしの想いも通りやすくなることを理解した。早速、こんなにわかりやすい結果を得られるとは思っていなかった。明日以降も、まずは、要求をのむことを前提に付き合っていきたい。
Through this experience, I realized that fulfilling someone’s needs first makes them more likely to follow my lead. I didn’t expect to see such a clear and immediate result. Starting today, I’m going to approach my son by meeting his requests first.
To be continued.
