The ones who dared to change themselves are exactly the people who are famous now. I despise those who just sit back and envy or resent such people without taking any action.Think of someone who says, âI want to be an idol,â and actually works hard toward it. People who lack the courage to do the same just watch and sneer: âLook at her tryingâso cringe.â Forget that kind of attitude. If all you can feel toward others is jealousy or resentment, thatâs the level your life will stay at.So, if youâre a juniorâhigh, highâschool, or college student and thereâs someone nasty like that around you, itâs totally fine to cut them offâbecause theyâll probably never live beyond that level.Now that Iâm 28, the gaps between peopleâs lives have become obvious. The girl who used to shine back then now looks like that, while others have kept glowing. At this age your way of life shows in your face; effortâor the lack of itâbecomes visible.

Because the ones who actually changed themselves are exactly the people who are famous today,
è¡åããããŠãããªäººãã¡ãå«åЬããããšãã
If you just sit there doing nothing and envy those people,
劬ãã ãæ²é¡ã ããã人ã¯ç§å€§ã£å«ãã
I really canât stand people who only feel jealousy and resentment.

When someone has the drive you yourself lack,
èšã£ãŠãã人ã£ãŠããã®ããã
there are always people who have something snide to say.
ãªãããªããé¢çœãããããã
They make a joke of it, like itâs hilariousâ
äŸãã°ã¢ã€ãã«ã«ãªãããã£ãŠèšã£ãŠã
for example, someone says they want to become an idol,
ã¢ã€ãã«ã«ãªãããã«è²ã ãã£ãŠãã®ã«ã
and actually does all kinds of things to reach that goal,
èªåã¯ããããããåæ°ãªãããã
but because they themselves donât have the guts to try,
人ã®è¡åããŠããã€ãèŠãŠã
they watch the person whoâs taking action
ããã€ãªãããã£ãŠãã ãã©ãŠã±ãã¿ãããªããšèšããã ãã©ã
and sneer, âHa, look what sheâs doingâso cringe.â
ããããæŠèŠã¯ããžçœ®ããšããŠã
Letâs put that kind of garbage aside.
æ¬åœã«äººã«æ²é¡ãšã劬ã¿ãšãããæãŠãªããã€ã£ãŠã
People who can feel nothing but envy and resentment toward others
ããããã¬ãã«ã®äººçã§ãããªãã
will never rise above that level in life.
ããããã¬ãã«ã§æ¢ãŸã£ãŠãããã
Theyâre stuck right there and going nowhere,
äžåŠç髿 ¡ç倧åŠçããèŠãŠãããã
so if any middleâ, highâ, or universityâstudents are watching,
ãªãããããããªããå«ãªãã€ãšãããããã
and youâve got someone nasty like that around you,
ãåå€åããã¬ãã«ã®äººçããéããªããã ãªã£ãŠæã£ãŠå šç¶åãé¢ãã¡ãã£ãŠå€§äžå€«ã ããã
feel free to cut them offâjust think, âYouâll probably always live at that level.â

Once you hit about twentyâeight, the differences really start to show.

The gaps between peopleâs livesâ
ãã®åœæã¯ãã©ãã©ããŠããåããããªæãã ã£ããã ãšãã
like seeing how that kid who used to sparkle back then ended up like thisâ
çµæ§å·®ãåºãŠãã幎ã ããããèšããã®ãã
and because this is the age when those gaps appear,
ãã£ã±ãåŠåšãåºããé¡ã«ãã
your way of living really shows in your face,
çãæ¹ã£ãŠããã®ããã£ã±é¡ã«åºãŠãã幎ã ããã
