今日ある方がこんなお話をしてくださったのでご紹介！
織田信長は家臣から「大切なことは何でしょうか？」と尋ねられた時、
「たしなみの武辺は、生まれながらの武辺に勝れり」と言ったそうな。
「武辺」とは武道や武術に関する事。そして、この場合の「たしなみ（嗜み）」は、努力や普段の心がけを意味します。
つまり、信長は、「努力して得た能力は、生まれながらにして持っている能力より優れているものだ」と伝えたかった。
たしなみ、普段の心がけが大切だと信長は家臣に伝えたかった。
古今東西の天才が天才と言われる所以がこの言葉にあるなと私は思いました。
ちなみに、このお話をしてくださった方は多くの外国人と交流があり、来日された外国人にはプレゼントとして小さな懐中電灯を差し上げるようにしているそうで。
日本は地震が多いので、もしもの時に懐中電灯を使ってもらえるように、そして地震がなくても懐中電灯を携帯することでもしもの時の心構えをしてもらえるようにプレゼントされるとのこと。
つまり、地震に対するたしなみを意識してもらえるようにプレゼントされている。
さて、今日は１月１７日。あれから２6年。「たしなみ」を改めて考える日かもしれませんね。
A person told me this story today.
When Oda Nobunaga was asked by his retainer, “What is the most important thing? Nobunaga Oda, when asked by his retainer, “What is the most important thing?
Nobunaga Oda, when asked by a vassal, “What is important to you?” said, “A good warrior is better than a born warrior.
“Martial arts” refers to martial arts and other disciplines.
Martial arts” refers to the martial arts.
And in this case, “etiquette” refers to the effort one makes and the attitude one usually has.
In other words, Nobunaga wanted to tell us that abilities acquired through hard work are superior to those we are born with.
In other words, Nobunaga wanted to tell his vassals that it is important to have a good attitude in everyday life.
I thought that these words are the reason why geniuses are called geniuses in all ages.
Incidentally, the person who told us this story has been in contact with many foreigners and gives small flashlights as gifts to foreigners who come to Japan.
He said that he gives them flashlights as gifts to foreigners who come to Japan, so that they can use them in case of earthquakes, and even if there are no earthquakes, they can be prepared by carrying a flashlight.
In other words, it is a gift to make people aware of the importance of earthquake preparedness.
Well, today is January 17th.
It has been 26 years since the earthquake.
Maybe it’s a day to think about “etiquette” again.
