Guaranteed to move you! Memorable words 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.

It’s the everyday that makes up a true life. Ordinary days swept along by miscellaneous tasks. Spending our days without enjoying that “normal” time—worse yet, holding back from enjoyment. What a waste. Each day is a wonderful gift.Christine Lewicki

Many people may find themselves bored with ordinary days in which nothing big ever happens, sometimes even grumbling about it.

But it is precisely those unremarkable, everyday moments that we should cherish.

That’s what Christine Lewicki—who thrives as a mompreneur and consults entrepreneurs around the world—reminds us.

She herself must be busy and caught up in daily chores, yet perhaps it was in some fleeting moment of everyday life that these words slipped out.

If you feel that every day isn’t fun, that it’s full of unpleasant things, try looking for the small, unassuming joys hidden in the everyday right before your eyes.

There are no solutions in life. What exists in life is only a force in motion. We have to create that force. The solutions will follow afterward.Saint-Exupéry

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the novelist who wrote The Little Prince, a work loved around the world.

Here is a passage from one of his masterpieces, Night Flight.

Life never goes backward.

As we keep moving forward, we must overcome many things.

However, moving forward requires effort.

He tells us that as we proceed through life by trial and error, we can find solutions to each of our problems.

If you’re troubled and have come to a standstill, try, above all, to take a step forward.

Don’t listen to others’ expectations. Live your own life and meet your own expectations.Tiger Woods

Support often gives us strength, but excessive expectations can turn into pressure.

This quote from Tiger Woods teaches us that rather than carrying others’ expectations to achieve something, it’s important to listen to your own inner voice—what you want to do and how you want to live.

It’s natural to want to live up to the encouragement and expectations of those you care about, but if they become a burden, the results are unlikely to be good.

Your life is yours.

Please walk straight down the path you truly wish to take.
