Today I watched one of the videos that the Japanese homeopathy school shares. It was a graduation ceremony of their professional homeopath course. It is a four-year course and the students are required to have a 100-acutual cases to graduate. It means they have to have a counselling 100 times. I didn’t apply for the professional course because of this requirements. The graduation ceremony was emotional that both instructors and students were shedding tears. Even though I don’t know any of the graduated students, I would like to send the best wishes to them because I know they have devoted their best efforts to graduate and receive the license.
There were five instructors and they had a short speech to the graduated students. One of the instructor shared his thoughts and it touched my soul.
He said “凡人でいることに徹したい.” It can be translated “he tries to be an ordinal person.” It resonated with me because I try to be a great person. I want to be somebody whom people admire and respect. But when I heard him saying this, I felt like this is a message to me saying that I don’t need anybody’s praises or compliments. I can be my great cheerleader who keeps on telling myself I am doing great but I don’t need any other people to keep telling me that.
