Countless truths springing from a cute look! Coji-Coji’s famous quotes (1–10)
I’m not stealing, killing, or scamming anyone. I’m just having fun, eating, and sleeping. Why is that bad?Coji-Coji
These words carry the message that judging people solely by their appearance or outward behavior is dangerous.
For example, if someone usually lives freely and casually, they may be labeled a “slacker” by social standards.
However, that person may actually have creative ideas and even influence others.
It’s also important for people with different values to coexist, and by understanding how others live, we can broaden our perspectives.
By avoiding superficial judgments and respecting ways of life different from our own, we may be able to build better human relationships.
Encouragement and threats aren’t all that different.Coji-Coji
Even though it’s the same word, “Do your best,” when a friend says “You can do it!” it can feel encouraging, but when a boss says it in an overbearing way, it can feel threatening.
The message is the same, yet the impression changes greatly depending on the recipient’s feelings and position.
It’s a phrase that makes us reflect on the weight of words in communication and the subtle nuances of human relationships.
When choosing our words, it may be important to understand the person’s underlying feelings and circumstances before we speak.
Cojicoji has always been Cojicoji since the day they were born, and in the future, Cojicoji will still be Cojicoji.Coji-Coji
No one can do everything perfectly, right? Whether it’s work or study, we all have areas we’re good at and areas we’re a little less confident in.
These words convey the message that, no matter the environment or situation, there’s no need to force yourself to change.
If you have weak areas, it’s important to focus on them and put in effort—but it’s just as important to develop what you’re good at and what you love.
Rather than trying to change yourself unnaturally, it’s about growing while making the most of who you are.
Coji-Coji’s way of life is to value yourself, avoid comparing yourself with others, and stay true to who you are.
I’ll always have your back—that’s what friendship is all about.Kettle-kun
These words convey that the essence of friendship is supporting one another.
For example, before school exams, it’s important for friends to teach each other and encourage a friend who is going through a difficult time.
Through this kind of cooperation, trust and bonds grow deeper.
In team sports as well, players aim for victory by supporting one another.
In this way, friendship is not just about sharing fun times; it may grow stronger by overcoming hardships together.
Working with your companions and mutually supporting each other is the key to nurturing true friendship.
Let’s believe in the power of friendship and cherish relationships where we always support one another.
Whether it’s useful or not is something someone will say later, right?Frog
These words remind us that the value of what we’re doing is sometimes recognized later.
For example, even if you join a volunteer activity and feel at the time that you didn’t contribute anything, you might be thanked by other participants afterward.
The same goes for starting a new hobby—It might not seem useful right away, but by sticking with it, you may later feel glad you kept at it.
Rather than getting impatient because results don’t appear immediately, it might be important to take action first.
It’s better to rest than to worry.Coji-Coji
To cope with stress from work or study, some of us may have kept working without taking a break even when we felt tired, only to feel the effects on our body and mind.
These words remind us of the importance of prioritizing our health.
When you feel stressed, taking even a short break can help you refresh, reset your mindset, and approach problems from a new perspective.
Moderate rest can also improve productivity, so it’s important to care for yourself and avoid being consumed by worries and anxiety.
It’s interesting because it’s a place I don’t know.Coji-Coji
When you go to a place for the first time, you feel nervous, but excited too, don’t you? These words convey the joy that the unknown holds.
Visiting familiar places is fun, but when you set foot in countries or regions you’ve never been to, you can encounter different cultures and connect with local people, leading to new discoveries and moving experiences.
The same goes for hobbies—when you try cooking dishes you don’t usually make, you get to enjoy new flavors.
In this way, by engaging with the unknown, you broaden your horizons and enrich your life.
If you face challenges without fear and keep accumulating new experiences, you might make your life even more enjoyable.
