【No. 1272】Sekishō Idai (積小為大)
Jun 12, 2018 21:18
Yesterday, I introduced you to the Japanese term, "zayū no mei" (座右の銘), which means 'motto.'
Today I would like to introduce you to my zayū no mei.
It is "sekishō idai" (積小為大).
Seki (積) means to pile up, shō (小) means small, i (為) menas to accomplish, and dai (大) means 'big.'
That is to say, this four-character idiom means that if you want to accomplish a great thing, it is important/necessary to pile up small efforts every day.
Incidentally, this idiom is said by a well known person in the Edo period, Sontoku NINOMIYA (二宮尊徳).

Thank you for reading my post! :)
To tell you the truth, I began to have my motto only a few years ago.
