10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

There’s no way other people can do it but you can’t.Doraemon 'Doraemon'

Doraemon is a work that represents Japan, and the many thought-provoking lines that appear in it also draw attention.

Among those lines, there’s a memorable quote Doraemon says to Nobita that inspires belief in one’s potential.

When Nobita is about to give up because he can’t walk on stilts, Doraemon encourages him with a powerful message: if others can do it, then with practice, you should be able to do it too.

Rather than comparing yourself to others and giving up, it’s a courageous reminder that sparks the feeling that you can do it as well.

How you deal with twists of fate separates winners from losers.NEW!

A turning point of fate probably indicates an unforeseen event or an unexpected change.

How you deal with it determines whether you win or lose.

Since we call it fate, it must be the kind of event that can turn your life upside down.

If you handle it well, success is assured, but one misstep could send your life spiraling downward—that’s the level we’re talking about.

If a turning point of fate arrives, use all your knowledge, information, and experience, and seize victory with courage.

You often hear that it’s better to regret something you did than something you didn’t do.

This quote likewise teaches us the importance of taking on challenges.

Mark Twain, known as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and one of America’s foremost novelists, also experienced bankruptcy in his personal life due to extravagance and failed investments.

However, he later paid off his debts and became wealthy again! Whether a challenge enriches your life is something you won’t know until you see the results, but the regret of not trying will likely stay with you forever.

If there’s something you want to do, gather your courage and take the first step!

No dream is too big, and no challenge is too great.NEW!

Donald Trump: Gems of Famous Quotes

No dream is too big, and no challenge is too great.NEW!

When you paint a dream or try to take on a challenge, if the goal is too big or the finish line seems too far away, people may ask, “Can you really do it?” If you lack confidence, that one comment might make you think, “Maybe it’s impossible for me,” and leave you feeling discouraged.

In moments like that, remember this quote! Even we ourselves don’t know how far we’ll go.

We won’t have the answer until the day our lives end.

That’s exactly why we should dream big and take on big challenges—so we can see just how far we can go.
