One of my strengths is that I know when to give up.Nobi Nobita
This is a forceful line from Nobita that boldly declares a flaw to be a strength—so boldly it can even feel a bit contrived.
Saying “I give up quickly” usually brings a bad image to mind, but if you think of it as being good at switching gears and quickly moving on to the next thing, it starts to sound positive, doesn’t it? The idea of giving up on what won’t work right away, or relying on others for what you can’t do yourself, also conveys an awareness of one’s own capabilities.
It’s a message that conveys a forward-looking attitude—deliberately expressing something negative in a positive way.
To fully do what you want to do, you also have to fully do what you don’t want to do.Tsutomu Komano
These words, spoken by Tsutomu Komano in the film Chihayafuru, are empowering when you’re ready to move from reality toward your goals.
It’s not telling you to simply endure; rather, when you discover your goals or dreams for the future and start running toward them, there may be times when it feels tough or you want to quit.
But by not running away and seeing it through, you can get closer to your goal and gain skills along the way.
These words will serve as encouragement for anyone about to take on a big challenge.
Keep them as a charm and do your best as you head toward the future.
Someone who doesn’t believe in themselves isn’t worth the effort!!!Might Guy (Naruto)
Masashi Kishimoto’s manga Naruto, with its unique ninja-themed world, is popular not only in Japan but around the world.
In the story, Might Guy appears as a taijutsu specialist, and he delivers a famous quote that conveys his philosophy on effort.
Effort is founded on believing in yourself—without that, it won’t lead to results.
His words powerfully assert this, while also conveying a passionate wish for you to trust in yourself and your hard work, and move forward toward results.
What matters is that, no matter which path you choose, you don’t use it as an excuse.Shuji Hanamoto
This is one of the famous quotes by Shuuji Hanamoto, an art university professor in Honey and Clover.
He muttered it as his students were gradually moving forward with their graduation and graduation projects.
It’s a phrase that, when you recall it after losing your way, gives you a push forward.
Is your whole life written in a textbook or something?Daisaku Mikage
This is a famous line by Daisaku Mikage—the owner of the farm where the protagonist stays—in the Hokkaido-set farming manga Silver Spoon.
He tells the hesitant protagonist, who shrinks back because “it wasn’t in the textbook so I don’t know how to do it,” that the first step is to try and gain experience.
A person’s worth isn’t determined solely by test scores.Shizuka-chan
These words were spoken by Shizuka-chan to Nobita-kun.
Speaking of Nobita-kun, the strong impression is that he often scores zero on tests and gets scolded by his mother.
But in fact, he has gotten a perfect score before! However, no one believed him no matter who he told.
Shizuka-chan is one of those people, but she encourages Nobita-kun by saying that a person’s worth isn’t determined by test scores.
Even if he’s not good at studying, Nobita-kun is honest and kind.
Shizuka-chan truly understands those good qualities.
