Rainy Season
Nothing flashy — you keep falling at the same pace for a long time, soaking deep into the ground.
In Japan, tsuyu is the name for the stretch of early summer when rainy, overcast days go on and on. Here it means the steady rain that keeps falling through that season. No single day's rain is heavy, but because it keeps up for weeks, the rice paddies and hills fill with water.
You keep putting in effort for a long time, out of the spotlight. Once you decide on something, you keep it up at the same pace every day; you do your best work by building things up over time rather than rushing for results. You may not say much, but the fact that you don't stop is where your quiet strength shows.
When the rain goes on and on, some people start longing for a break in the clouds. While you're keeping things steady, the people around you may be starting to think it's time for a change. Asking now and then, “Is this still working for you?” helps the season turn smoothly.
Strengths
- You can keep up the same quality on routine work for weeks on end
- Once you've taken something on, you don't let go of it until it's done
- Even when everyone around you is in an uproar, you keep your own pace
Where you may stumble
- You carry on the same way even when it would be better to change the approach
- You quietly pile up so much that nobody notices how much you're carrying
- You show what you think through actions more than words, so it takes a while to get across
Sounds familiar, Rainy Season?
- You walk the same route every day, at about the same time
- You're still keeping a diary or notes you started years ago
- People are surprised: “You're still doing that?”
Where you shine
Long stretches of preparation, practice where daily effort is what counts, picking up something others let go of partway through.
Tips for “Rainy Season”
- Pick one day a month to ask yourself whether the way you're doing things still works
- Every so often, put what you're carrying into words and let someone see it
- Once in a while, walk down one street you've never taken
