As long as you keep striving without ever losing sight of a good purpose, you will surely be saved in the end.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Piling up efforts is important for reaching your goals, but if you focus too much on the effort itself, you can lose sight of the original goal.
These are words from Goethe, who was active in Germany as a playwright and poet, conveying the importance of clarifying your aim and then steadily applying effort.
When you can see where your effort is directed, you can concentrate your strength and move straight ahead—and results await at the end of that repetition.
His words prompt us to reflect on what we want to accomplish and what we can do to achieve it—on how we choose to move forward.
If we were just one minute earlier, we could save one more person.Calvin Coolidge
Let me introduce a powerful quote from Calvin Coolidge: “If you are one minute early, you can save one more person.” Calvin Coolidge was an American politician who also served as President.
This saying—“If you are one minute early, you can save one more person”—was apparently an American firefighting slogan that was introduced to Japan when the American Red Cross used it in 1923 (Taisho 12) to appeal for aid following the Great Kanto Earthquake.
These powerful words that crossed the ocean truly strike a chord, don’t they?
