Maybe powerful words can give you strength? A collection of uplifting short quotes

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.

Powerful words that might give you strength? A collection of uplifting one-line quotes (71–80)

When you’re unsure, choose the option that lifts your spirits.Akihiro Nakaya

Here’s something that unifies your thought process and simplifies your way of thinking.

These are the words of Akihiro Nakatani, the “Interview Master,” who worked as a planner at a major advertising agency creating commercials, while also writing business books, essays, and novels.

Since going independent, he has been holding seminars and workshops across the country.

In everyday life, we often face uncertainty.

When you have to choose something, what criteria do you use to decide? “This is like this, but if it turns out like that, then it won’t be the same, so maybe I should choose this one, but…” Some of you might find your thoughts going in circles and feel exhausted.

At times like that, remember this maxim from Mr.

Nakatani.

The secret to staying cheerful is to live believing that tomorrow will surely be better.Ryotaro Shiba

To anyone who had a really awful day today, I offer these words.

They come from Ryotaro Shiba, the author of enduring works like “Ryoma Goes His Way” and “Moeyo Ken.” It may be very difficult to always be cheerful and keep a smile.

However, by doing so, a feeling of happiness will naturally come to you.

That’s why, even if something unpleasant happened today and you can’t feel upbeat, it’s important to stay positive, believing—as these words say—that tomorrow will be a good day.

All the more in hard times, let’s not forget to keep our spirits bright!

Instead of seeking more than yourself, enjoy what you have.George Tokoro

The more you aim higher and higher, the more exhausting it can get—you might start to hate it, and sometimes even hit rock bottom.

These words encourage us not to demand more than our current abilities, but to try various things within the strength we have now.

They’re from George Tokoro, a multi-talented figure—TV personality, singer-songwriter, and more.

It feels like he’s teaching us his way of enjoying life: throwing himself wholeheartedly into many different things.

Aiming high isn’t bad, but if it means losing yourself or suffering, let’s pour our energy into what we can do with the strength we have right now!
