Encouraging words that powerfully push your determined back forward and lift your spirits (71–80)
The goddess of fate favors those who act boldly.Niccolò Machiavelli
Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian political thinker known for advocating a realist political theory that politics should be considered separately from religion and morality.
His famous saying, “Fortune favors the bold,” can give us courage to face challenges.
Those who do nothing will never encounter opportunities, but taking action brings change and progress—doesn’t it? It’s a message I hope people who lack confidence in their initiative will adopt as a personal motto.
No matter how ridiculous the idea, the world won’t change unless you take action.Michael Moore
Have you ever come up with a new idea, only to hesitate to share it, thinking, “If I say something like this, people might make fun of me…”? Surely everyone has had an experience where they ended up not taking the leap.
But it’s exactly at times like these that the words of American filmmaker Michael Moore give us a push: “That won’t do!” No matter how outlandish an idea may be, nothing will ever begin unless you act without fear.
These are empowering words that give us the courage to take on new challenges.
Why do you blame yourself? Other people will properly blame you when necessary, so isn’t that enough?Albert Einstein
For example, when something goes wrong at work, have you ever felt excessively responsible and blamed yourself? I think quite a few people have said, “It’s all my fault.
I’m terribly sorry.” Of course, it’s important to admit fault when you’re in the wrong, but the German physicist Albert Einstein said, “There’s no need to blame yourself more than necessary.” The reason, he said, is that “others will blame you as much as necessary, so you don’t have to blame yourself.” When we think of Einstein, we might picture a genius beyond our reach, but hearing these words makes him feel more relatable, as if he shared the same feelings we do.
Energizing words (81–90) that give you a powerful push to keep going
Never compare yourself to anyone else in this world. Doing so is an act of insulting yourself.Bill Gates
Have you ever compared yourself to others and felt down, thinking, “Even though so-and-so can do X, I…”? Surely many people have felt discouraged by comparing themselves to others.
Bill Gates, one of Microsoft’s founders and the creator of Windows, has said that comparing yourself to others is an insult to yourself.
There’s really nothing good that comes from comparisons.
It’s important to think, “I am who I am,” accept that, and move forward with confidence in yourself.
If you can learn from failure, that failure is a success.Malcolm Forbes
Japan also has a proverb that says, “Failure is the mother of success,” and many of the world’s successful people have expressed similar sentiments.
One of them is Malcolm Forbes, an American businessman and publisher of the magazine Forbes.
After being discharged from the Army, he served as a New Jersey state senator and later ran for governor, but lost.
That setback prompted him to leave politics and devote himself to producing Forbes magazine, where he achieved great success.
His words are grounded in that experience: losing the gubernatorial race wasn’t a failure to him.
To keep failure from ending as mere failure, I want to always remember to learn something from it.
While there is life, there is hope.Miguel de Cervantes
There are plenty of quotes that carry the nuance of “As long as you’re alive, you’ll figure it out!” Some people may have even felt this to be true through their own experiences or by hearing stories from those around them: “If you have your life, you can make something of it.” In fact, Miguel de Cervantes, known as the author of the 1605 novel Don Quixote, left behind similar words.
He led a turbulent life—injuring his arm during his naval service, becoming a prisoner of war, and even being jailed due to various troubles—yet he managed to keep his life and eventually publish Don Quixote, earning fame.
It’s a harsh reality that, despite the novel’s immense attention, he had relinquished the rights and thus did not become financially well-off.
Still, it almost feels as though he himself embodied this very sentiment.
If you don’t give up on yourself, there is no such thing as ‘losing’ in life.Shigeta Saitō
Have you ever thought about what “defeat” really is? Is it when you fail to win an important match, or when you make a big mistake? Psychiatrist Shigeo Saito once said that true “defeat” is when you give up on yourself.
If you give up, that’s where it ends.
But if you keep challenging yourself without giving up and eventually succeed, those failures can become the raw material for success.
It’s a phrase worth remembering when you feel like you’re about to stumble while chasing your dreams or goals.
