A company of pharmacy held a talk show. A speaker was Miss Arakawa (Shizuka Arakawa). She got a gold medal in the Winter Olympic Games (Torino, Italy), and she is now a professional skater. She is 29 years old.
Of course she is a genius, but surely she has made efforts that I can't imagine. Japanese often say,“ spirit, skill and a body (a physical condition)”. Usually it is said that spirit is the most important, but some professional players say that a body (a physical condition) is the most important.
I asked her,“What factor is the most important for you?” She answered,“I think that these three factors have the same importance.” I thought about her answer, and I think that she can do the best performance when these three factors work well at the same time. Anyway I could have a valuable chance.
