advice from granny

Guess who was disturbed from a deep sleep by some shitty, good - for - nothing little humans? Now I'm back with some stupid chapter.

Question: What is your biggest insecurity when you think about you and your team? Karasuno, answer.

Daichi: Well. . . The fact that I probably am not so good of a captain kind of starts becoming a potential candidate for triggering my paranoia. I just don't think I have all that it takes to be able to lead a team of twelve to victory all that smoothly, and that would give them all a feeling that they weren't good enough, and I can't take it.

[ When someone is proficient in something, they start to want for more and more excellence regarding that field of expertise. Have you ever looked back at your old artworks and started laughing at them, yet how come you never come to appreciate your current works? That's because you get better and better bit by bit. You cease to notice your greatness because you already are much too great, beyond your comprehension, beyond your expectations. And the fact that you go as far as to shoulder other people's feelings? What would we call you if you refuse to be called and to acknowledge the fact that you are an awesome leader? ]

Sugawara: I know I'm not supposed to be feeling this, but because I was kicked out of my position as a starting setter on the last year of highschool for me. . . I just can't help but feel insecure and all. Like I'm not really of much use and that I have never been. Selfish, aren't I?

[ Selfishness isn't even one of the seven deadly sins, meaning, it is a normal way of the human mind. So what if you start thinking you should have been the one in there? That's completely natural. Of course, we sometimes want to always have that feeling of being able to do what we want, to pursue some kind of career we want and to always be the one in there, and we also need it. We need to taste the feeling of standing on top of a pile of corpses so we can look forward to the next battle without fearing the intensity of the heated clash. Besides, you think you're useless? Well, that's not being selfish at all. That's being selfless, for a fact. ]

Asahi: The team lost because of me. I wasn't able to break through the blocks at the most crucial point in the game, and I kept feeling this sense of paranoia clawing at me. I started feeling afraid of giving volleyball a try, because I'm not ready to see everyone suffer such a loss once again.

[ Just because you are the best at something doesn't mean you have to always keep being the best at it. We have to retract, we have to fall, we have to experience failure in order to get stronger and learn how to get back up again from the ashes of our defeat. Did you know, for every fibre damaged in the human body, it gets replaced with two? Besides, being the 'ace' means not only being able to bring victory to your teammates, but also to make them feel as victorious as the opposing team, the winners, despite the loss. ]

Nishinoya: Being the libero means being the backup that everyone relies on. Since I'm just human all the same, I can't possibly receive every single hit the opponents send me on purpose, and the feeling of having people rely on you and failing to serve your purpose just gets to me.

[ If you really think they rely on you so much, then do what you must. They rely on you, so why start feeling all down about it? Instead of getting all depressed, why don't you try harder and all until you can finally call yourself someone worth being relied on? No one relies on someone who can't even rely on himself. ]

Tanaka: Amidst all the awesome spikers like Asahi - san and Hinata, who is a first year and even lacked proper practice, I just can't help but start getting the feeling that I'm being carried away in a sea too powerful for someone weak and not good enough like me. I just don't see how I contribute to the team's forces. I wonder when I'll eventually drown?
