Shoshin Wasuru Bekarazu: Part 1

Today, I would like to introduce one of my favorite proverbs, shoshin wasuru bekarazu (初心忘るべからず).

Since sho (初) means "first," shin (心) means "heart," and the combination shoshin (初心) means "the mind when one first begins to learn something."

In addition, wasuru/wasureru (忘る/忘れる) means "to forget," and bekarazu (べからず) means "to forbid something," the literal meaning of this proverb is "Do not forget to the mind when one first begins to learn something."

In other words, the important thing when learning something is to never forget the humble and serious attitude you had when you began to learn.
初心忘るべからず Part 1

今日は私の好きなことわざの一つ、「初心忘るべからず」を紹介します。

「初」は "first"、「心」は "heart/mind" を意味し、「初心」で「物事の習い始め」やそのときの気持ちという意味になります。

また、「忘る/忘れる」は "to forget"、「べからず」は禁止を意味するので、このことわざの文字どおりの意味は "Do not forget to the mind when one first begins to learn something" となります。

物事を学び続けるうえで重要なことは、始めた頃の謙虚で真剣な気持ちを忘れないことである、というわけです。
