So-called prominent people who attract worldwide attention continue to engage in severe self-criticism and reflection -- apparently.

Indeed, I believe that at the end of such days, they can rise something that moves the world and inspires the world.

But to such people, the world is invisible -- to them, the world is not a spectator.

For them, the audience is themselves.

-----

That audience (they) will not offer words of praise for their performance.

Instead, they continually search for flaws in their own performance and demand higher and higher from themselves.

The performance will be even greater, higher, and more polished, and no one will be able to catch up to them.

We are just a mob of people who are not given a second thought by them, just adding their fingers and watching.

I think it's a respectful act, however I'm not going to live that way.

In the first place, do I enjoy living that way? I think.

When I finish a column, when a program works the way I want it to, when an invention falls into a detailed drawing in my head.

In the presentation hall in my own head, all of me are standing at the hall with a storm of thunderous applause and cheers

It is the self standing ovation.

I like my "cheap" self to continue to be easily satisfied again and again with the heights within my reach, rather than to aim for something unparalleled in the world, based on rigorous self-improvement.

If there's one thing that I have in common with the world's most notable personalities, I have only one point: 'I don't care what the world thinks.

Today, I finished changing the studless tires to normal tires on my own.

Today, too, I am in 'standing ovation'.
