真しんのプロ（注1）と呼よばれる人ひとたちは、他た者しゃ評ひょう価かではなく、自じ己こ評ひょう価かの中なかに生いきています。彼かれらは、周まわりの人ひとがいくら認みとめても自じ分ぶんで認みとめられなければ自じ信しんを持もちません。逆ぎゃくに他た人にんが認みとめなくても、自じ分ぶんが正ただしいと思おもえることに自じ信しんを持もっています。

他た者しゃ評ひょう価かに一喜一憂いっきいちゆう（注2）している状じょう態たいでは、本ほん当とうの意い味みで自じ信しんを獲かく得とくしたとは言いえないでしょう。

（青あお木き仁志ひとし『一生いっしょう折おれない自じ信しんのつくり方かた』による）

（注ちゅう1）真しんの：本ほん物ものの

（注ちゅう2）一喜一憂いっきいちゆうする：喜よろこんだり心しん配ぱいしたりする
