You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
先日、億までの人、億からの人、という本を読んだ。この筆者は、ゴールドマンサックス日本支社長を務めた人で、多くのお金持ちを見てきた人であり、実際にお金持ちである。
A few days ago, I read a book titled *”People Who Stay Below 10 Million Yen and Those Who Exceed It.”* The author is a branch manager at Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, and he has observed many millionaires—he’s one of them himself.
その本で彼は、毎朝0345に起きてランニングをしているそう。しかも、休日はもちろん、旅行の日もそうしているという。
In the book, he mentions that he wakes up at 3:45 a.m. every day and goes for a run as part of his daily routine. What amazed me even more is that he keeps this routine not just on weekdays, but also on weekends and even while traveling.
それくらいストイックにやっている人がいることに驚いたし、わたしよりも立場が上で忙しい人ができるのだから、自分にだってできるはずである。
I was surprised by his strong mental discipline to stick with that habit, especially considering how much busier and higher-ranked he is than I am. It made me realize that if he can do it, so can I.
ということで、今朝から実践。0430に起きて、40分ほど階段トレーニングをしてきた。おかげで、朝の新幹線は爆睡。だけど、しっかり眠れた分、仕事に集中できた。新しいルーティンにすべく、継続していきたい。
So I decided to give it a try. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and trained on the stairs of my apartment for 40 minutes.
Thanks to the early workout, I fell asleep on the Shinkansen during my commute. Because I slept well, I was able to stay focused at the office. To make this a habit, I’m planning to continue this new morning routine.
To be continued.
