旅の恥はかき捨て
– Old proverb
How to pronounce: Tabi No Haji Wa Kakisute
Literal translation: When travelling, shame should be thrown away.
Meaning: The similar saying in English might be “A man away from home need feel no shame”. This could be used when you want to encourage someone to try something exciting or new, while it is seen a bit shameful in an usual situation.
I was a bit away from business trip for a while and today was the first day to go to my office in more than two weeks. I felt a bit awkward in the morning but soon it turned out to be very usual.
This really says that I’m very much used to the current work, and could further trigger to think of going to the next steps. I have things I want to do at the current environment, and thus the change wouldn’t happen immediately, but I strongly feel that the time for the change is coming close. Let’s see while doing my best.
