総会シーズン
毎年の事ながら５･６月は企業、団体の定時総会が目白押し。小生も今週は業界団体の総会で火、水曜と東京出張。火曜日は全国調査業協同組合、水曜はNPO法人全国調査業協会連合会の総会に参加。また、６月は社団法人関西総合調査業協会、公益財団法人天風会の評議委員会（総会に準じたもの）が予定されており、何かと多忙。しかし、その隙間をぬって、来週の月、火曜日は何となんと、御歳７０歳の古希同窓会（中学の同期）。考えるに、これは我が人生の総会のようなもの。まだまだ先は長いが、ひとつの節目であることは間違い無さそう・・・。人生の総括には未だ早いが、振り返ってみると、幼少のころからの思い出が走馬灯のように浮かんでくる。この世に生を受け、最初の記憶が３歳の時,たぶん祭りの日の記憶。後しばらく無く、鮮明に覚えているのが小学校入学の時、なんと入学式を終え、自宅近くの川で水遊びをしていたら、何時の間にか仲間と喧嘩になり、びしょ濡れになったものだった。以後、７０歳の今日まで、山あり谷あり、紆余曲折いろいろあったが、それなりに楽しく充実した日々を送って来た様に思う。あと余命５０年、今日死ぬかのごとく生き、永遠に生きるかのごとく学んでいく事にする。そして ”やった やった”大声で叫びながら次の世へ旅立とうと思う・・・。
In May and June, there are many annual general meetings of companies and organizations. I’m also on a business trip to Tokyo on Tuesday and Wednesday for a general meeting of an industry group this week. On Tuesday, I attended the general meeting of the National Association of Surveyors, and on Wednesday, I attended the general meeting of the National Association of Surveyors. Also, in June, I will be busy with meetings of the Kansai Research Association and Tenpukai’s Board of Trustees (which is the same as the general meeting). However, next Monday and Tuesday will be a reunion of my junior high school classmates who are 70 years old. If you think about it, this is like the General Assembly of my life. There’s still a long way to go, but there’s no doubt that it’s a milestone… It’s too early to sum up my life, but when I look back on it, memories from my childhood come to mind like running lanterns. I was born into this world and my first memory is when I was three years old, probably on a festival day. What I remember vividly is that I got into a fight with my friends before I knew it and got soaked when I was playing in the water in the river near my house after the entrance ceremony at the time of elementary school entrance. Since then, until today, at the age of 70, I have had many ups and downs, and many twists and turns, but I think I have spent my days enjoying and fulfilling them in my own way. I have 50 years to live, and I’m going to live today as if I’m going to die, and I’m going to learn as if I’m going to live forever. And I think I’m going to leave for the next world screaming, “Yes, yes, yes”….
