Hello. I’m President Yasui, running a one-person company that primarily conducts inspections of high-pressure gas equipment.
They say age shows around the eyes, so I’ve started some eye care.
I researched which product to try, and since beauty products vary widely in price, I chose the “Wrinkle Eye Cream White” from the so-called “petit-price” (affordable) category.
It was under 1,000 yen, so I figured I’d try something inexpensive first. If I can stick with it, then I might look into other options later.
It raises the question, "Who are you trying to impress?" (laughs)
But as we age, there’s a kind of mature depth or “seasoning” that develops, like tree rings.
However, not everyone ages that way.
Some people, whether middle-aged or elderly, still think like children—what we jokingly call “eternal kids.”
It’s not necessarily good or bad, but something about them lacks depth or human charm.
You expect someone who's lived that long to have some kind of presence or substance, but it's missing.
Maybe it’s the difference between being a producer and just a consumer of life.
When it comes to maturing as a person, it can feel like spoiled meat—aging gone wrong.
I think the real difference lies in whether a person can think beyond themselves.
Is everything self-centered, or can they consider others as part of the center?
Caring about others is different from being overly concerned about how others see you.
It's not about appearances or social pressure.
Caring about others is about consideration, attentiveness, and being able to see logic and reason clearly.
As we get older and our physical strength declines, we tend to get tired more easily.
That fatigue and loss of personal margin makes it harder to be considerate of others.
When you’re stretched thin, things like fairness or reason can start to feel like luxuries.
It's the classic “desperate times call for desperate measures.”
Maybe that’s why sports, where fatigue meets human interaction, are a good way to build character.
They force you to face your limits and interact with others under pressure.
In life, being active leads to wisdom and experience, which together create a kind of quiet strength and personal presence that comes through naturally.
There are many adults who have aged gracefully.
If I can get even a little closer to being like them, I’d consider that a success—and that’s how I want to live today and tomorrow.
See you next time!
