Quotes on Effort: A curated selection of passionate messages left by great figures and famous people

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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.
Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

One of the most important things is to never give up easily.

[Donald Trump] Keep going. #DonaldTrump #Trump #PresidentTrump #trump #donaldtrump #motivation #quote #speech

One of the most important things is to never give up easily.

When an insurmountably high wall stands before you, many people will give up, thinking it’s impossible.

But if you give up there, you’ll never grasp the dreams or future you hoped for.

If there’s something you want to achieve—a dream you absolutely want to make come true—the most important thing, as this saying goes, is not to give up.

As long as you don’t give up, at the very least, it isn’t over.

If you keep putting in the effort, the time will come when you can get over even the towering wall before you.

Keep repeating that, and you’ll surely reach your goal.

Strive not for success, but to become a person of value.Albert Einstein

Einstein: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be a man of value.” #shorts

Strive not for success, but to become a person of value. Albert Einstein

For most people who want to accomplish something, the goal is likely to be success.

However, Albert Einstein, regarded as the greatest physicist of the 20th century, stated in this famous quote that we should strive to become a person of value rather than to be successful.

Success generally refers to gaining wealth or fame, but becoming too fixated on it can at times lead to unnecessary conflicts and friction with others.

When that happens, we distance ourselves from happiness.

To avoid this, perhaps he is teaching us that our talents should be used not only for ourselves but to truly help others, and that we should find value in that.

Something might happen even to those who merely wait, but it will be only the leftovers from those who made the effort. Abraham Lincoln

Watch on YouTube: “Something might happen even to those who merely wait, but it will be only the leftovers from those who made the effort. —Abraham Lincoln”

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is also known as the “Father of Emancipation.” This quote teaches us the importance of taking initiative.

Many people hope for change yet fail to take action, often out of fear of failure or concern about risks.

However, if you want to seize great success or opportunities, you must think for yourself, put in the effort, and take action.

If you realize you’ve only been waiting, now is the time.

Step to the front yourself and carve out the path to success!
