Life doesn’t end when you lose. It ends when you quit.Richard Nixon
When you lose a match or see a dream fall apart, some people might feel like their life is over.
But this message tells us that losing doesn’t equal the end of life.
These are the words of Richard Nixon, who served as the 37th President of the United States.
Even if you’re defeated by something, your life doesn’t end.
It suggests that life ends only when, after losing, you stop challenging yourself.
Continuing to take on challenges is essential for us as human beings.
Even if you lose, stand up again and again, and keep walking forward in life!
There is no piece that cannot move forward.Makoto Nakahara
Shogi pieces can move forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally—they can go anywhere, right?

These words carry a positive, forward-looking message.
The road stretches out in many directions.
If you’re moving toward your goal, keep these words close to your heart and continue forging ahead just as you wish!

Many of you have probably heard the four-character idiom “shichiten hakki” (七転八起).
It’s said to mean “no matter how many times you fail, you don’t give up—you get back up and see it through.” It’s read as “shichiten hakki,” though some people read it as “nanakorobi yaoki.” When you’re working toward a goal, you may fail or run into obstacles.
Even then, you reset your mindset and keep striving toward your goal.
Isn’t this idiom just right for someone like you?
Opportunities to take on challenges are equal for everyone.Steve Jobs
Are you making all kinds of excuses—like not having money or being in a bad environment—and letting the opportunities to take on challenges right in front of you slip away? Steve Jobs, one of Apple’s founders and its former CEO, believed that the chance to take on challenges is available to everyone.
No matter your situation, anyone can choose to challenge themselves.
The results may vary, but there’s no such thing as gaining nothing from a challenge.
Let go of negative feelings about taking on challenges, and jump in and try whatever you feel inspired to do!
Chase your dreams—even if you fail, it’s okay. Things will work out somehow.Maya Angelou
When you fail at something while chasing your dreams, it’s natural to feel down or feel like giving up.
At times like that, try reading these words from Maya Angelou, the poet and activist.
Failing is something no one likes.
But the journey you’ve taken in pursuit of your dream wasn’t filled with only unpleasant things.
You must have gained a lot, and there’s plenty that remains even after a failure.
That’s exactly why, instead of getting pessimistic because you failed, how about facing forward—trying again, trying a different approach, and using what you gained from the failure to do something new?

If you want to see a rainbow, you have to put up with a little rain.Dolly Parton
These words make it feel as if small failures are only natural on the road to big success, and as if even the obstacles in front of us can be laughed off.
Even on days when things don’t go well, they give you the feeling that you can try again tomorrow.
It’s wonderful to be able to say something like this so effortlessly, isn’t it? These words are by Dolly Parton, known as a leading figure in American country music.
She’s also famous for the theme song “9 to 5” from the smash-hit film of the same name.
