Just because you’ve been beaten down doesn’t mean you have to get discouraged. Even after all that beating and whipping, eggs still make a cake rise.Mary Johnston
Today's quote is Mary Johnston
Mary Johnston was an American author.
Because she was in poor health, she couldn’t attend school, and her bed became her classroom, so to speak.
At sixteen she enrolled in a music school, but quit after three months; she lost her mother and moved repeatedly—in short, judging from the story alone, her adolescence seems to have been a bit removed from a happy circumstance, doesn’t it? After becoming a writer, however, she produced hits, and Audrey was the fifth best-selling book in the United States in 1902.
Her words embody the classic spirit of “never giving up.” They’re the kind of words you’d want to post by your front door and see every day.
So what if you failed? Learn from the failure and just try again.Walt Disney
Without fearing failure, on to the next challenge! A famous quote by Walt Disney #Challenge #LearnFromFailure #WaltDisney
Walt Disney, the entrepreneur known as the creator behind the globally beloved Disney.
His famous quote, “So what if you fail? Learn from it and try again,” carries particular weight because he repeatedly faced bankruptcy and setbacks while growing his company into an international giant.
When we fail, we can be overwhelmed by a sense of finality and despair, but this positive mindset—that even failure can be turned into nourishment for success—surely gives courage to many.
It’s a powerful quote that encourages us to take on new challenges.
Words spoken when he was 16 by the man who scored the golden goal in the match that sent Japan to the World Cup for the first time.
In high school, where only delinquents gathered, the soccer team he finally managed to form fell apart in its very first external match because of a brawl.
It’s said that he cried out to the older delinquents through tears.
Moved by his heart, they began to train intensely.
Because there is a premise of happiness, we are able to find unhappiness.Kazlaser
Kazlaser’s quote from “Kazlaser Clinic” is getting an incredible reaction on Twitter!!
People inevitably tend to focus on misfortune and problems, but happiness is something we can truly feel precisely because those moments exist as a contrast.
That said, there’s no need to let your heart be consumed by misfortune.
By consciously looking away just a little, you become more aware of the small joys and comforts in everyday life.
The more knowledgeable and analytical a person is, the more they notice and feel the problems and misfortunes hidden in daily life; but by intentionally avoiding them, the mind becomes calmer and you can savor everyday happiness more fully.
The very act of looking away is a positive strategy to keep your heart from being ruled by misfortune.
Beneath mud and earth lies solid rock; above clouds and mist shines the sun. At the height of discontent, there is still fortune, nor is hope absent.Kanzo Uchimura
I would like to introduce a famous saying by Kanzo Uchimura: “Beneath the mud lies bedrock; above the clouds and mist shines the sun.
Even at the height of complaint, happiness and hope are not absent.” Kanzo Uchimura was a Christian thinker active in the Meiji era.
Disasters can bring many hardships.
At such times, Uchimura left words he hoped we would remember.
It is said to mean that even when times are painful and difficult now, a stable and bright future surely awaits beyond.
He likens difficult situations to mud, and the bedrock represents the strength within us that lies beneath these serious problems.
Furthermore, he tells us that even when we feel or voice complaints, happiness and hope still exist.
Life brings all kinds of experiences, doesn’t it? Even so, we are reminded of the importance of maintaining a positive outlook.
There are movies that don’t end with a happy ending, right? How many can you name? I dislike stories that don’t end happily—I simply won’t read, watch, or listen to them.
Depending on how you take it, I think Kazlaser’s words here can sound quite cruel, because there are people who, no matter what, can’t feel happy.
But try prefacing it with “Even so,” and then read the line: “Humans are bound to end up happy anyway.” Doesn’t it even bring Kaz’s smile to mind? It’s something I want you to remember when you feel like you’re about to lose heart.
It’s better to fail while having fun than to succeed while being bored.George Burns
George Burns, an American actor and comedian known for his partnership with his wife Gracie Allen and later for winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film The Sunshine Boys, as well as for the Oh, God! series.
His career began at the age of seven; although he took a brief hiatus after Gracie Allen passed away, he resumed his activities and kept going until he was 100.
Rather than being fixated on failure or success, it’s about how much you enjoy the process.
The words of a man who lived a long life remind us—who tend to focus on outcomes—of what truly matters.
