In our Freelance Teacher Interview, Sachi-san told us her story of how she became an image consultant and her current activities. In the interview, she talked about how she wished she had known about personal color and her qualities when she was in high school, and how she wished it was a required high school course.

Sachi's lecture began with these words.

Today, I would like to share with you, high school students, the secret of how you can become successful and happy in your future life.

I'm curious...too curious!
Can I get such an important lesson for free?

The secret is...

One is to "know yourself".
You think you know yourself, but if you are asked if you know 100% of yourself, you cannot say that you do.
To know yourself, the first step is to become sensitive to your own senses. It is important to be aware of your honest senses in your daily life.
If you have a favorite café, analyze what it is about that café that you like and love.
As you continue such analysis, you will become clearer about what you like and what you don't like, and you will be able to choose what is best for you.

And the second secret is to "decide for yourself".
This is predicated on the first secret, "know yourself".
You have to know what you really want, and then you have to decide what you want. It is very important that you have the right to decide whether to pull the reins or loosen them. If you make choices based on the opinions and wishes of others, you will blame them and make excuses when they fail. But the truth is, it is your own fault for letting go of the reins of your life and entrusting your future to someone else.
People who can make their own decisions and move forward are strong. Don't leave your life to others, make your own decisions!

All high school students will have opportunities to make choices about their lives in various situations, such as going on to higher education or finding a job. Please face yourself on a regular basis, understand yourself, and be the one who does not miss opportunities.
Happiness and success are interpreted differently by different people, but you can decide your own happiness by yourself, and there is no need to compare and compete with others.

Virtual School Festival Special Lecture
From "The Importance of Self-Production Skills"

He also advised that it is important to know your own qualities.
According to Sachi, there are so many people who are not aware of their talents but rather live with them as a complex.
He said that there are diagnoses that can be done online about one's qualities, but it would be good to have a professional look at them, thinking of it as a self-investment for the future.
Indeed, once you get diagnosed, it's for life!
I was introduced to a color diagnosis service called "Self Dictionary," so if you are interested, please check it out.

Thank you, Sachi, for your valuable talk!

Nowadays, it is easy to see various people's lives on social networking sites, and many people tend to compare themselves with others.
It is understandable to compare yourself with others, but each one of us is a different person. Your idea of happiness does not need to be measured by others.
Know yourself, utilize your qualities and talents, and live a stress-free life.
May it reach as many high school students as possible!
