しょうしょうどちらかがよりわすかと---どちらあまりおぼいないよろこくやともたいないのこひつようないかんことどんどんわすいってしまうせいしつなのだ。

もちろんなんねんだれとのしょうについてかたならないということあればおくいとぐち(注1)さえいつかたいせんしたそのときじゅん(注2)スラスラおもことできる

しかしつうじょうそんなことしないそれおもかえところで、さきへとつながるものだとはおもからだ。

ひつようなのは、まえすすいくことそのためあゆ(注3)きざいくことだ。

これからみちながそれすすいくためひつようされるのは、マラソンせんしゅようしきとでもいうだろうか。一気いっきダッシュするのではなくしゅんかんてきさいこうスピードするのでもなくせいかくラップ(注4)きざいくことだ。1キロを4ふんはししたらつぎの1キロも、そのまたつぎの1キロも……と、おなラップきざことそれしきてきつづいくことだ。

それにはながきょずっとはしつづねばならない」とかんがのではなくすぐそこの、あのかくまでもくひょうに、そこまでとりあえずはしみようといったちいもくひょうさだながらはしのがいいおも

ゴールまであと200キロあるたいていひとイヤなるはしのをやめてしまうだろう。しかしあと1キロだけあと1キロはし……とおもつづこの1キロこんの1キロ……とかえうち200キロなっていることあるだろう。そうなっていること

あるきょはしというはなしことあるなるほどたしかにそうだとおもあるどうかは、スピードとかろくとかまえベース(注5)なるさいていげんしょうだ。まずはそのきょあるみるそこでだとおもならはしなどとうていできないことだ。だれとなりいったとしても、ぶんにはことなのだ。だからまずはあるみるそしてあるそうならはしみるいそひつようないおなベースラップきざながらいいそれは、しないことだ。ぜんできることつづいくというけんぜん(注6)なのだ。
