| Project Ganbatte/Ganbare is a little photo project I want to do showcasing figures I have on hand cheering on mainly Japan but also people everywhere. As much as I like the "Pray For Japan" campaign I feel that Japan already had a great saying to keep up the spirit… "GANBATTE!" Also said as ganbare, ganbatte (ガンバッテ) is translated to “hold out, persevere, and do your best.” I like this phrase or saying because I feel it has more of a connection between people and can boost one’s morale significantly. Knowing, seeing a physical being cheering me on makes me want to work harder. As much as I wouldn’t want to disappoint myself, I wouldn’t want to disappoint the person rooting me on. So then what I’ll do is push forward as hard as I can knowing that whether I succeed or fail, I’ll be a better person at the end. Another way to think of ganbatte is like someone cheering for their favorite player or team. Or even a personal trainer pushing me to do my best. The philosophy of ganbatte to me is “I believe in you! You have the strength. I know you can do it but if you need me, here I am.” I think Kamina said it best: “Believe in me, who believes in you!” Think of me what you will, but this is my resolve. GANBATTE NIHON! GANBATTE WORLD!!! |
