A auto-estima é sobre como nos sentimos em relação a nós mesmos.
Quando temos auto-estima, gostamos de quem somos.
É importante lembrar que todos nós temos qualidades únicas que nos tornam especiais.
Então, é bom se valorizar e se tratar com gentileza.
A auto-estima é como um raio de sol que brilha dentro de você.
É o jeito especial que você se vê, se ama e se valoriza.
Lembre-se sempre: você é único e especial do jeito que é.
Acredite em si mesmo e deixe sua luz interior brilhar!

お金が2倍になる期間が簡単にわかる便利な計算方法についてくわしく話します。

「72の法則」って聞いたことありますか？
これは、貯蓄や投資をしたお金を複利運用で2倍に増やそうとしたとき、「何年」で「何％」で運用すればいいかを教えてくれるものです。
計算式は簡単。
「72÷利回り≒お金が2倍になるのに必要な期間（年）」
期間と利回りを入れ替えても成立するので、10年で2倍にしたいなら、72÷10年で約7.2%となります。
5％で運用するなら、72÷5%で約14.4年かかります。

くわしくはPodcastで話しているので、よかったら聴いてみてください。あなたのお役に立ちますように！
