『成長曲線』と『次を考える』　　　　“Growth curve” and “Thinking about what’s next”

先週(土)の高校生の雑談会『みんなが知らない一般受験の超メリット：本当の卒業生講話』へのご参加、ありがとうございました。
その反響でしょう、今週(月)からCSS朝自習の参加も増えて、何より進むべき方向性に迷いと不安が減ったように見受けられます。
Thank you for participating in last week's (Saturday) high school student chat session, ``Super Benefits of General Examinations that Everyone Doesn't Know: A Real Graduation Lecture.'' As a result, participation in CSS morning self-study has increased since this week (Monday), and above all, it seems that students are less confused and anxious about the direction they should take.

とはいえ、雑談会でもお話しした通り、成果が表面に現れる進み方は成長曲線を描いていきます。
１ヶ月２ヶ月では結果は出ません。その結果が出ない時期の行動を試されている、と客観的に捉えてください。
However, as I mentioned in the chat session, the progress in which results appear on the surface follows a growth curve. You won't see results in a month or two. Please objectively view your actions as being tested when you are not seeing results.

やる気があるときなら、誰でもできる。本当の成功者は、やる気がないときでもやる。
Anyone can do it when they're motivated. True success lies in doing it even when you're not motivated.

結果が出ないときを如何に過ごすか？
絶対にうまくいくという確証がない時、そんな時でも頑張り続けることができるのか。
これが『勉強する』ということの意味のひとつであると考えます。
How do you spend your time when you don't get results? Is it possible to keep trying even when there is no certainty that things will go well? I think this is one of the meanings of ``studying''.

今日は11月実力校外模試（フクト模試）、来週は後期の中間試験。
ほんの一月前、前期期末試験と夏休み明けテストの結果が返ってきて『頑張らなきゃいけない！』と決心し、
学生くん本人たちは、色々悩みながら努力したと思います。
それこそ、今までの人生で過去最高に。
Today is the November off-campus mock exam (Fukuto mock exam), and next week is the midterm exam. Just a month ago, I received the results of the first semester final exam and the end of summer vacation test and thought, ``I have to do my best!'' I think the students themselves worked hard to achieve this goal, even though they were worried about various things. That's the best I've ever been in my life.

それでも良い結果が出るとは限りません。いや、むしろさらに悪くなってることもあるでしょう。
その時は必ず振り返ってください『３ヶ月前は何をやってたか？どんな風に過ごしていたか？』を。
However, this does not necessarily mean that you will get good results. In fact, it might even get worse. When that happens, be sure to look back and say, ``What were you doing three months ago?'' How was your time? "of.

自分が今から頑張ろうと思ってることを、既に半年前に終わってる、１年前に終わってる、いや頭の使い方・日常生活の生活習慣なら３年前、５年前に終わってる、そういう人たちもいるんだと。
そこに追いつこうと思うのなら、１ヶ月２ヶ月頑張ったくらいじゃ通用しない。
もっともっとレベルを上げながら続けてやるぜ！！　くらいに執念深い人間に変わりましょ！
People who have already finished what they are trying to do six months ago, one year ago, or even three or five years ago when it comes to how they use their brains and their daily life habits. There are some too. If you want to catch up, just working hard for a month or two won't do it. I will continue to raise the level even more! ! Let's become a more tenacious person!

板書にもあります『祭りの最中に次を考える』
そのために、今日の５時間の試験が終わったら、即、中間試験の例えば数学の問題を１問解く、そのように気持ちでは先に進むように話しています。
『テスト終わったーーー』と羽を伸ばすところで今日を終えると、結局この３連休は何も進まないまま終わるでしょう。
そして週があければ、３年生は１日だけおいて中間試験です。
１年生２年生も２日だけです。
As the board says, ``Think about what's next during the festival.'' To that end, as soon as today's 5-hour exam is over, I immediately try to solve one math problem on the midterm exam, and move on with my mind. I'm talking to you. If you end today by thinking, ``The test is over,'' you'll end up spending the three-day weekend without making any progress. Then, if there is a week, third-year students have midterm exams one day apart. 1st and 2nd year students only have 2 days.

今日の夕方から動き出しても、はっきり言って遅いくらい。
（それを見越して、朝自習では４週前から進捗指示を出しています）
日々、課題もあるし学校行事もある。　その忙しい中でも『次を考える』
動かなくても良いから、まずは考えて予想してみる。
そうすれば・・・ です！　　😁😁😁
I started moving this evening, but to be honest, it's too late. (In anticipation of this, I give progress instructions four weeks in advance during morning self-study.) Every day there are assignments and school events. You don't have to ``think about what's next'' even when you're busy, so first think and make predictions. If you do that...!
