みなさん、こんにちは。MAMIKOです。
今日は人間関係についてお話したいと思います。

皆さんは人間関係は自分の鏡という考え方を知っていますか？

この考え方は、「他人の態度や出来事は、自分の内面をや行動パターンを映し出している」あるいは、
「相手の中に見える嫌な部分や扱われ方は自分が自分にしていることと関係している」
というものです。
だから相手を変えようとするより、自分の行動を変える方が現実が変わりすいと言われています。

私は昨日仕事で、相手の方から「後回しにしてしまってすみません」と言われました。
私が自分のことを後回しにしているから、自分の身に起こっているのかもしれないと気が付きました。
そして家族の予定か自分の予定のどちらを優先させるか考えていることがあったので、自分のやりやりたいことを優先して、すぐに自分の予定を入れました。

偶然、母も別件で後回しにされていることにプリプリしていたので、母も自分のことを後回しにしているんだろうなと思い、「自分のことを後回しにしているからだよ」と伝えてみました。

皆さんも、相手の行動で悩んでいることはありませんか？
そんな時は、まず自分の行動を見直してみると、人生うまくいくかもしれせんよ！
是非やってみてくださいね！

Art Du Jour: A Soupy Pumpkin Splash for the Mona Lisa 

Spanish star Rafael Nadal is retiring from professional tennis at the age of 38, he has announced.

Nadal won 22 Grand Slam singles titles during his career, including the French Open 14 times.

He has been one of the greatest players of the modern game, sharing his time at the top with his longtime rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

The tennis world has long debated which man should be called the "Greatest of All Time" — or "GOAT."

Nadal hasn't been able to compete much during the past two seasons because of injuries. He has entered just two of the last eight major tournaments.

He said that next month's Davis Cup finals — when he'll play for Spain — will be his final tournament.

"It is obviously a difficult decision, one that has taken me some time to make," he said. "But in this life, everything has a beginning and an end."

Nadal was known for his physical style of play — he played every point as though it were his last, but he was especially strong on clay courts.

There is a statue of Nadal outside those slow, red courts in Paris on which he enjoyed so much success.

As well as his French Open titles, he won the US Open four times and won Wimbledon and the Australian Open twice each.

"I think it is the appropriate time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined," Nadal said.

His last major title came in Paris in June 2022. Nadal's tally of Grand Slams has since been surpassed by Djokovic, who has now won 24 majors.

In total, the Spaniard won 92 singles titles, spent 209 weeks as the world's number one player and earned almost $135 million in prize money.

He said: "Really, everything I have experienced has been a dream come true."
