开进晴朗

在连山隧道行车，人也在明暗里交替，开进黑暗，又驶入光明。天气越是晴朗，就越衬得这暗深黑如漆。

开进黑暗，是突然的，一点准备也没有。驶入光明，却是缓慢的，尽头的那点光亮，先如丸如豆，再如灯如月，直至天光大开。

人在寒冷里，意味着寒冷正在过去。人在黑暗中，意味着黑暗也正在逝去。光亮，让我们看见一切；黑暗，却让我们看见光亮。


正式说法：
1.入-进：入口，进入，入学通知，加入一个组织
2.晴朗-晴：天气晴朗，晴朗的天空
3.漆黑-黑：漆黑的夜晚
4.行-驶-开车：行车-雨天行车注意安全。驾驶，驾驶证，疲劳驾驶，酒后驾车-酒驾
5.缓慢-慢：老人缓慢地在路边行走。这座小城市发展的速度比较缓慢。
6.寒冷-冷：天气寒冷。我没想到在这么寒冷的季节能看到这么美的花儿。
7.逝去-过去：（过去，消失）逝去的时间，逝去的青春

#4 よみきかせ【しあわせ】  

"The software team at my client's company was struggling to complete their new product on time. As the project manager, my client knew he needed to improve communication across functions. He started weekly check-ins where engineering, design, product and marketing all presented updates and issues. This exposed dependencies between teams. For example, when engineering outlined a complex new feature, product argued it didn't align with goals and design flagged UI challenges. Rather than pushing back, each team offered suggestions to solve the other's problems.

This collaborative approach helped teams understand different perspectives. When later design presented mockups, engineering asked thoughtful questions about underlying assumptions. They found ways to simplify the feature while still meeting user needs. Similarly, when marketing had concerns about the launch date, product and engineering worked together to identify what could be cut or delayed without compromising the vision.

By the next check-in, dependencies were untangled and teams made better decisions together. Managers saw improved morale as people felt heard and helped each other. The transparent discussions gave confidence that the product was on track when minor issues did arise. In the end, my client's company launched their new software ahead of schedule with rave reviews. Regular cross-functional check-ins had fostered collaboration that eliminated silos and ensured project success."
