> このような見方は、「物事を始めた時の新鮮な（謙虚な）気持ちを忘れないようにすること」という人口に膾炙した解釈と比べると、少々わかりにくく、奇想天外に思われるかもしれない。しかしこの見方は、単に「初心」を胸の内にしまっておくだけではない、もっと積極的な意味合いをこの格言に与えている。経験を積むにつれて「形」を覚え、パターンに慣れてしまい、応用が効かなくなったり、視野が狭くなり、惰性に陥ってしまうことを戒めるだけでなく、さまざまな可能性を秘めていたかつての状態を思い出し、新たな可能性に踏み出すための、より柔軟で臨機応変なありかたを示してくれていると言えないだろうか。

A possible reading of the daily saying is

One how has no doubt gets no wisdom.^1
of
One who never wavers never enlightens.

The English translation on the Buddhist monthly-repeat calendar is:

"Awaken, and aspire for the truth!"^2

I'm too tired to think of alternatives now.

Japanese sources:
^1 迷わぬ者に悟りなし
^2 一念発起

The first day of March. From now on I'll always think of it as #MoronDay in Commemoration of the #AtomiEnergyCommission now that @bojacobs just informed me that it was on this day in 1954 that one of the Bikini atoll islands was vaporized and those Japanese fisherman were poisoned by a blast that was unexpectedly large surprising un-thinking scientists. Jamese Harvey Robinson defines moron: "a person who doesn't think." #calendars #諺 #仏教

> 一隅を照らす。
Brighten your corner
> Do your best to improve society

> 彼も人なり、 我も人なり
> She is a person, I am a person
> They are people, We are people.

> [由来] 八～九世紀、#唐王朝 の時代の文人、#韓愈 の文章の一節から。昔の人は、舜という聖人の話を聞くと、「彼も人なり、予も人なり（その人も私も同じ #人間 だ）」と考え、自分も舜のようになろうと朝晩、努力したものだ、と述べています。また、この一節の元になったものとして、「 #孟子 ―滕文公・上」に出て来る、「彼も丈夫なり、我も #丈夫 なり（その人もいっぱしの男なら、私だっていっぱしの男だ）」があります。

"Strike the hammer while the iron is hot." --- #BobMarley's #MellowMood^1 came to mind with today's saying on the day-by-day calendar.

> 鉄は熱いうちに打て
#Proverb

The monthly calendar has advice of the day's Rage Against The War Machine participants. Even in rage we need a little calm part, I guess.
> Keep your mind peaceful
> 自分の心を安らかに保とう

> Since we are on the topic of idiom, this one rings true: “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down”. Unless you’re the boss of the company you rarely stand to profit from problem solving or creative thinking — and usually speaking up will be detrimental to you in some way.

February 9th is a big day for Nuclear accidents. One in Korea and one in Japan on this day. This grassroots calendar is great for reminding me of what should get more attention. Another calendar of proverbs has "The cornered rat bites the cat" 窮鼠猫を噛む, and I guess regular people would bit more if we thought more about nuke damage. The Buddhist sayings calendar has "Don't chase the past or wait for the future" 過去は追わず未来は待たず.
