Shoshi Kantetsu
Today I would like to introduce my favorite four-character idiom shoshi kantetsu (初志貫徹).
Sho (初) means "first," shi (志) means "will/motive," kan (貫) means "consistent," and tetsu (徹) means "thorough."
That is to say, shoshi kantetsu literally means that you maintain your will consistently and thoroughly.
Basically, this idiom is used in a positive manner and is popular as a motto.
However, sometimes it could be more important to be flexible depending on the time and situation.
Incidentally, the kanji character 徹 can be read as Toru (my account name).
