From a little while ago, why have we been shouting “I’m lucky! I’m lucky!” like this? You must be thinking that, right? I’ve been the best in Japan for six years. Many people ask me, “How did you achieve being the best in Japan for these six years?” But the truth is, I’m just lucky. Others have the skills; I don’t. I have luck. How many times can you make luck happen? How can you make luck happen again and again? When you ask that, I tell you, “Say ‘I’m lucky!’ a lot.”
In the morning, when your sandal thong breaks as you’re about to leave. At that moment, regular people, or rather, many Japanese tend to be a bit negative, thinking, “Is something bad going to happen?” Others simply think, “The thong just broke.” But I think, “It’s good that it broke now. It would have been so inconvenient if it happened while I was out.” Do you understand? If you can think, “It’s good that it broke now,” not just think it but say it out loud, “Ah, I’m lucky,” there’s a concept called “kotodama” where words carry vibrations. That’s why I’m always lucky. When you say you’re lucky, luck comes your way.
If your car gets scraped, you shouldn’t say, “I’m unlucky.” You should say, “I was lucky. If I were unlucky, I could have crashed and died here.” Do you understand? This is important. When negative people hear this, they might say, “If you were really lucky, you wouldn’t have crashed.” But that doesn’t matter. It depends on what you say. Becoming the best in Japan means you’re one in 120 million. Doing it for two years means 120 million times 120 million. Three times means 120 million times… times… times six. That’s when you get incredible numbers. I know these numbers, but I won’t reveal them today. We don’t have the time…
I can do it next year. I can do it the year after that. I can do it as many times as I want. “Why can you do it?” “Because I’m lucky.” People often say, “Set Saito as your goal. Surpass him.” “Stop it. Stop it. You have the skills. I have luck.” Skills are your own power, luck is divine power. Humans can’t win against the heavens. Don’t waste your effort. If you want to surpass me, say, “I’m lucky too.” Then miracles will happen. That’s why today, everyone is saying, “I’m lucky! I’m lucky!”
So, since everyone is lucky, let’s talk about something else. We already know we’re lucky. When someone asks, “What is the management policy of Japan Kampo?” Japan Kampo practices “Migratory Bird Management.” You’ve probably never heard of migratory bird management, right? It’s being revealed here in Japan for the first time. Can you believe there’s such a management method?
When migratory birds fly in the sky, they form a V-shape with the lead bird at the center. Have you seen this before? Yes, right? They fly in a V-shape. Why do they form a V-shape? Because when the first bird flaps its wings, it creates an updraft behind it. As a result, the birds flying behind it can cover 70% more distance. Do you understand? So, it continues like this, one after the other, forming a V-shape to cross the sea. Without this formation, they couldn’t cross the ocean. Do you get it? At that time, the bird at the front is working the hardest, so the other birds fly alongside, encouraging it. Can you understand? They chirp, “Do your best,” to the leader. I can hear it.
Ordinary people hear “Kaah,” but I hear “Do your best.” Keep doing your best. If the leader gets tired, they switch positions. When they’re tired, the leader drops back. Then, the one who rested takes the lead. They do this while working hard to cross the sea. Along the way, they might get shot by a hunter or get injured. When that happens, one bird drops down gently, and two healthy birds stay with it. They accompany it all the way. Once it recovers, they all fly together. Of course, if it heals, they can fly as a group of three. If it’s down to two, they smoothly merge into another group of migratory birds. Do you understand?
Japan Kampo awards from the first to the tenth place. We have never competed. Even in the same competition, let’s create together. The top person works hard to teach others. Normally, in competition, they wouldn’t do that. When something good happens, everyone shares it. This is what “good comrades” means. None of us wants to leave anyone behind. That’s why the number of migratory birds has increased so much. We can’t cross this sea alone. This is a sea of unprecedented economic downturn that we are crossing. If we all work together, we can cross this sea without anyone falling behind. The method we, the lucky ones, have chosen is what I call “Migratory Bird Management.” Migratory Bird Management sounds good, right? I’ll also fly. Let’s all fly. Let’s become the kind of people who can say thank you to the updraft created by the person in front. We are the highest beings. Why can’t we do what birds can? There’s absolutely no reason why we can’t. We can do it, and that’s Japan Kampo. Thank you very much.
