Conversation between a Porsche owner and his wife. Life is made up of plurals and zeroes.
Published on: 2021.01.16
Talk to Porsche owners.
The other night, the children went to bed unusually early, so my husband and I were able to talk for a few minutes.
When children are young, it is difficult for couples to take time for conversation alone because the rhythm of their lives is almost entirely child-centered. ButI think it's important to be conscious of trying to have this kind of time with each other, to the extent that we don't overwhelm each other.I think recently.
Then, as we talked about recent developments and future goals, my husband
I don't know, I guess life is just like that.plus-minus zeroI think it's a "good" thing.
He said.
I'm talking to all you car enthusiasts out there.I own a lot of sports cars like Porsche, which is awesome!Even those who appear to be "good" from the outside are going through a lot of hardships behind their backs.
Some people are successful now, but they had a very difficult experience in the past.
Everyone sees the grass is greener on other people's lawns, and "I like that guy. He's great.I sometimes envy people who are successful, but the aspects that others see are only a part of their success, and I think that the more successful people are, the more difficult their experiences are.
And, in some cases, even if they have the money, there's still something going on with family problems or health issues.
And.
I'm sure... someone once said, "Life is plus or minus zero, so if you have a little bit of a positive when you die, that's all that matters.I think he said something like, "I don't know..." or something like that...（Which is it?)I thought of this as I listened to my husband's story.
In fact, my husband is usually a hail mary.People who are getting results without having to work hard.I feel that it is often seen as a way of saying "I'm not a good person.
But according to my husband.
In my case, I was completely unable to study at all until I graduated from high school, my grades were always poor, and I was not accepted to any universities during my current school years. In fact, I don't remember much before the age of 18. That's how unforgettable my school days were.
Also, in my 20s, I was a salaried employee of a reasonably good company, but my family's business was not doing well and I had to supplement the working capital with my salary. So money was always tight.
In my early thirties, I started my own business, but for the first four or five years, it didn't ring a bell, my income was considerably lower than that of others my age, and there was a time when I was allowed to rent a corner of the office of a senior president for free.
Thanks to that, my work is going well now, but looking back, I think that the period when things didn't go well was also a reasonably long time.
And.
Until I got married, I too had been a "I wonder if my husband is someone who has lived without a lot of trouble.I remember being a little surprised to learn that he had actually overcome a lot, because I thought he was a "good guy.
Grateful to be able to drive a Porsche now.
I'm not a "inscrutable are the ways of heavenI like the word "happiness". It is a saying that we should not be easily happy or sad because happiness and unhappiness in life are unpredictable, and happiness always turns into unhappiness, and unhappiness into happiness.
I think my twenties were quite a series of hardships, if I do say so myself. I failed at job hunting, my personal life didn't go well, and even though I started my own business, sales didn't increase as much as I wanted and my debts only increased.
Why am I doing so poorly? Why does God keep giving me trials?
And there were times when I almost felt desperate.
At the time, I could not honestly rejoice in the happiness of my friends around me, and I hated my despicable state of being, but the situation did not get better even though I tried hard and struggled, and it was very painful.
Well, when I look back now, objectively, at my actions and thoughts at the time, I think, "I was a good person.See, if that's the way it's going to work, it's not going to work.It's like, "I'm so desperate," and it's obvious that I wasn't making the right decisions, but on the other hand, I'm like, "I'm glad it didn't work out that time.I think now, "I'm not sure.
It's not so much that "those days made me who I am today."Glad it didn't work out that time...I think from the bottom of my heart (laughs).
If things had gone well, I am sure that I would be in a lot of trouble now because I would have branched out into so many different things, and I would be working without regard for my family, and my relationship with my family would have disintegrated.
And make no mistake.I never set up this Porsche blog.The world of Porsche was not exposed to the new world that was opened up to them through Porsche.
My current situation is that although childcare can be a challenge in its own right, and sometimes I feel overwhelmed, I am still able to take care of my children.It's pretty well balanced in my opinion.I have a feeling.
While connecting with society through my work and expanding my world through my blog, I am able to spend a lot of time with my children and am in a flexible environment where there is no set routine in particular and I can turn to any way I want as things change.
Well, I am able to live this way of life because my husband works hard to earn money and tells me that I am free to do as I please, so I am truly grateful in many ways.
No one knows what will happen in the future, and I can't say for sure that I won't be able to drive a Porsche again, but I'm sure that I will look back on that in hindsight and say, "I'll be able to drive a Porsche again.I'm glad it was that one.It would be an event that would seem to be a "good thing.
Instead of envying other people's lives, I hope to continue to live my own life and aim to be a little more positive when I die.

I too am of the plamai-zero mindset.
It is very hard to act on a painful experience in the past and try hard to make it work, and although the world does not look at supercars and luxury car owners in a good light, they must have made tremendous efforts and struggled in ways that are not always visible. I really believe that the fruits of such efforts can be seen in cars and other luxury items.

Thank you!
Sure, supercars and luxury car owners don't get a very good look at
It's something you have to work hard to get.
I am sure there must be extraordinary hardships behind this.
That's why I think it must be a great feeling when you get it...
I'll do my best! Keep up the good work!
I always look forward to seeing your test drives and photos.
Nice article.
It was an opportunity for me to reflect on myself.
Thank you very much.
We will continue to support you.

Thank you for taking the time (and the laughs) to peruse my blog!
I am very happy.
Thank you for your continued support!
Nice to meet you. I have been reading your site for a while now.
I started with the story 'How can I buy a Porsche' and that led me to buy a used Cayman, even though I am an ordinary commoner. It may be small, but my dream is to reach to an air-cooled Porsche.
Some people are jealous of others and drag their feet. I think that I should be the one to make the effort before looking at others....
I decided to be grateful and make it a life of doing rather than a life of not doing. Thank you for the good talk.

Thank you for finding our blog from among the many car blogs.
Thank you so much!
>I bought a used Cayman. It may be small, but my dream is to get to an air-cooled Porsche.
Cayman, you bought it!
That's awesome!!! Congratulations!!! Cayman looks like it would be fun in any situation!
People who have grasped something are working hard behind the scenes, aren't they?
I, for one, hope to work hard and be able to afford my own Porsche!
Thank you for your continued support.
＞In my case, I could not study at all until I graduated from high school, my grades were always bad, and I was not accepted to any universities when I was still in school. In fact, I don't remember much before the age of 18, but that was my school days with no particular memories or impressions.
I still have my suspicions of a lone genius...
By the way, Mr. Porsche's grandson, Ferdinand Piech of VW, was also a good engineer, but he flunked out of school!
I also think that the reason why supercars are frowned upon is that the Japanese just don't like the idea of getting paid for their hard work and ability!
It may just be that listening to authority, buying an off-color passenger car, or simply being obedient and pandering to the world and authority is valued, while a statement of intent and aesthetics are denied!
I think that Porsche machines have their own sense of aesthetics and self-assertion, but I feel that mass-market cars are simply cheap and reasonably designed there, with no aesthetics or self-assertion anywhere.
This story may have to do with the relationship between cars and women's preferences, lol.
graceful
>I still have my suspicions that he is a lone genius...
No, no, that's not... (laughter)
I'm the kind of person who usually just watches and laughs at stuff from the Nakagawa family or the Sandwich Man on YouTube (laughs).
However, I think they are rich in ideas, watching them by my side.
In Japan, there are many things that are unique to the Japanese culture, or unspoken understandings.
Be that as it may, I would like to make decisions with my own thoughts in mind.
>This story may have something to do with the relationship between cars and women's preferences.
Indeed...! LOL!
Actually, I don't remember much of my life around the age of 18. I probably spent a lot of time being lazy. However, while I was a ronin, I made a fresh start and concentrated on my studies, so I don't have many pleasant memories, but they are firmly in my memory. After that, I did my schoolwork as well as anyone else (?). I managed to get a job even during the ice age, so I think that I had learned to concentrate on one thing for a certain period of time.
I felt that the phrase "plus-minus-zero" was also quite on the mark. If we can think like that, we can always think, "Now is the most fun! I think. I don't have a Porsche yet, so I may have to work a little harder (harder?) to get one. But every day that I have a Porsche as a concrete goal...this is also quite interesting.

Thank you for your comment!
I read the comments and realized that everyone has overcome many things in their lives to get to where they are today.
I thought again.
>Every day that Porsche has a specific goal...this is also quite interesting.
Porsche is my goal too, but I still have a lot of work to do before that.
It's quite difficult ^^; (I guess it's not difficult at all if you ask my husband)
Enjoy every day and keep up the good work!
Thank you for your continued support.
Hello.
I knew he was a wise man, but this article brought a few tears to my eyes.
You were the one who also wrote these articles.
All is well that ends well.
To my daughter, who went to Tokyo but couldn't get results, became depressed and came back to the countryside in Hyogo to stay indoors.
Your father has never made a mistake in his life?" I have often told this story to my daughter ever since she asked me.
Failure doesn't always stay failure, you know."
Because some successes come from failures."
'If the present is the right thing to do, then the failures of the past are necessary to ultimately get us to the present.
That is also a rectitude." (Although my daughter's current situation itself is by no means a rectification.)
I've heard that our family looks like a wealthy family from the perspective of our rural neighbors.
The inside is invisible to others, isn't it?
I will continue to enjoy reading your past articles as well.
Really glad I found this blog.
I have too much sympathy for them.
Mr. Paul.
Thank you for continuing to comment!
There's a lot going on in your life...
I know it must be very hard for your daughter right now.
The fact that you have parents you can talk to about all kinds of things, including the hard stuff...
I thought it was wonderful.
I still have a lot of things I feel I'm not ready for.
I wish every day that I could grow more as a human being.
I hope that we will not be in a hurry to move forward, flexibly changing our shape like water.
Thank you for your continued support!
Plummy zero" is a very good way to think about it.
I'm more of a negative thinker myself, so I tend to have more regrets about the past.
The past feelings of regret and failure have made me more determined to do my best in the present.
People who drive Porsches and other supercars and sports cars are
I believe that this is the result of your daily efforts with the feeling of "plus-minus-zero," so I would like to thank you for your support.
I would like to be able to approach that.
Buzzer beater! Mr.
Thank you for everything!
I've been thinking lately that nothing in life is wasted.
>Porsche and other supercars and sports cars are the most popular choice of drivers.
I also believe that this is the result of your daily efforts with the feeling of "plus-minus-zero".
I certainly do, and I'll do my best to get a firm grip on it myself!
Thank you for your continued support.
It is nice to meet you. I always look forward to reading your blog updates.
There are many things I really sympathize with, including the content of this issue.
I am a young man who has only just turned 40, but I started my own business when I was over 30.
Although my life may seem blessed to those around me, I have been through so many things, including my work and private life. However, even though I have fallen behind many times in everything, I have crawled my way up to now without being discouraged, and I believe that you cannot become as good as others unless you work twice as hard as they do. I believe that the accumulation of my efforts will make my future (I know there will be many ups and downs (sweat)). I think I would be happy if I could finish my life with a positive or slightly positive result.
Inspired by your blog, I have decided to switch to a Cayenne coupe (hybrid) and am waiting for delivery.
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding this blog.
We hope you will continue to update your blog as much as you can.
su-se-san
Nice to meet you, and thanks for visiting my blog!
It's been about 10 years since you started your business...that's amazing...!
I realize that starting, sustaining, and growing a company is no mean feat.
So you bought a Cayenne Coupe!
Congrats!!! That's insanely cool!
It's the comments we get every day that keep the blog running!
Thank you for your continued support.
Mina.
I thought this blog was very good with many things that I can relate to.
I also think it is wonderful that you are thankful to your master.
bamboo production
Thank you!
After all, it is my husband who has given me the freedom to do what I do.
In the flurry of daily life, we tend to forget that.
I am reminded by writing this blog that this is not a matter of course;
Hello~ (^. ^)
Since I started driving a narrow Porsche at the age of 23, I've definitely had a lot of pluses, lol.
Well, many things happened~.
In Narrow, I had to stop on the street, half crying, and push it to Gastan by myself (crying).
At 930, a pillar of fire rose about 1 meter high. Both my car and I were safe (explosion).
I have many memories of the people I have met through Porsche.
With Porsche, the negative things are trivial. lol;
Porsche is the blue bird of happiness. lol. lol.
Hiroppon ∞☆3
Thank you for everything.
You have been driving a Porsche since you were 23 years old...!
And what you are experiencing is half the story...amazing.
>Porsche is the blue bird of happiness. lol lol lol.
Indeed, I think so (laughs)!
