いいアイディアが出でると、すぐに実行じっこうしないと気きがすまない私わたしは、もちろん、成せい功こうの可か能のう性せいが高たかいと予よ測そくして実行じっこうに移うつすのだが、そのときに失しっ敗ぱいの可か能のう性せいを考かんがえていないわけではない。人にん間げんのすることに失しっ敗ぱいはつきもの（注1）で、トラブルに巻まき込こまれる（注2）こともあるから、ときにはどうしても避さけられない形かたちで失しっ敗ぱいが訪おとずれる。経けい営えいの現げん場ばでより重じゅう要ようなのは、その失しっ敗ぱいをいかに（注3）うまく処しょ理りできるかということである。あらかじめ失しっ敗ぱいを想そう定てい（注4）しているからこそ、適てき切せつな処しょ理りも可か能のうとなる。

（注ちゅう1）つきもの：ここでは、避さけられないもの

（注ちゅう2）トラブルに巻まき込こまれる：トラブルに遭あう

（注ちゅう3）いかに：どのように

（注ちゅう4）想そう定ていする：ここでは、起おこるものとして考かんがえる
