About this blog
There is a Japanese saying, "七転び八起き" - tumble seven times, rise the eighth. (The first being when you are born)
It's a positive saying about not giving up and persevering.
There is another saying, "七転八倒" - tumble seven times, topple the eighth.
This one from China, describing someone in struggle, is not so positive.
But I'm tired of being afraid to tumble, when the other option is to stand still.
