Uplifting words that powerfully push your determined back forward (41–50)
Go your own way and let people say whatever they want.Dante Alighieri
Dante shows us many sides—poet, philosopher, and thinker.
Many of you probably know his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy.
Reading this famous quote, I’m reminded that the spirit behind “going your own way,” which often appears in modern American rock lyrics, has existed since long ago, even in Dante’s time.
There will be times when outsiders are noisy, saying your goal is “impossible” or “no way you can do it.” In those moments, I hope you’ll remember Dante’s words and keep pushing forward.
And of course, someday, deliver results that will leave those people speechless!
If you firmly hold on to your dream and your purpose—what you aim for—then the way forward will surely open.Mahatma Gandhi
He thoroughly practiced nonviolence and noncooperation, freeing his homeland from British colonial rule—truly the Father of India.
The honorific “Mahatma” attached to his name means “great soul.” These words of his teach us the importance of dreams.
They will encourage anyone who feels anxious about whether their ongoing studies or work will bear fruit.
Of course, there may be times when we are swayed by others’ actions or opinions on the internet.
Even so, he tells us to believe in our own dreams and keep going.
It’s a message that gives us the courage to think, “The best is yet to come!”
There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun
Because the short story “Hometown” has been included in many textbooks, I think many people first learned about Lu Xun through their school textbooks.
People change as time passes, and so do their hearts—despite its brevity, it was a story that made me think about many things.
Lu Xun’s words, “We have only the future,” feel powerfully reassuring, as if declaring it outright.
They are strong words that stand by everyone who aims for the next try, even if they make mistakes or fail.
They also resonate with Shuji Terayama’s line, “Don’t look back; there are no dreams behind you.”
Laughed at, laughed at, and grow stronger.Osamu Dazai
Osamu Dazai, a great literary figure representing the Showa era, is known for works such as “Run, Melos!” and “No Longer Human.” Among the words he left behind are lines that speak to the relationship between how others see us and our own strength.
He suggests that others won’t always think well of you, and even if you are laughed at, overcoming that ridicule is what forges a stronger self.
He also conveys the impression that nothing is born from fearing others’ laughter, and emphasizes the importance of mustering courage and taking the first step.
I have never failed. I’ve only found 10,000 ways that don’t work.Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison left behind a wide range of inventions throughout his life, such as the phonograph and the incandescent light bulb.
This famous quote comes from him.
The harder someone works, the more shocking failure can feel.
You may think, “Was all that time a waste…?” However, if you recall this quote, you’ll see that failure itself is what matters.
It’s persuasive precisely because Thomas Edison reached success by learning from many failures.
Please keep running forward, viewing failure as an opportunity for growth.
Trust others, but trust yourself a hundred times more.Osamu Tezuka
Osamu Tezuka, the manga artist who brought numerous masterpieces to the world such as Astro Boy, Buddha, and Black Jack.
“Trust others, but believe in yourself a hundred times more” is one of Tezuka’s famous sayings, and it is said to have been his personal motto.
In fact, there is more to it: he said that if you preserve yourself and remain your own ally, when you are betrayed by others, that will become the path to overcoming it.
Friends, lovers, family—so long as we live, there will be times when someone betrays us and hurts us.
In such moments, remember these words and ask yourself how you want to be.
No matter how many times a person fails, as long as they don’t lose the courage to try once more, they will surely make something of themselves.Konosuke Matsushita
Konosuke Matsushita, founder of Panasonic Holdings and known as the “God of Management.” Don’t you think this quote resonates with everyone striving for something? Having the courage to try again even after failure may be the only path to success.
Not everyone possesses that courage, but those who learn from failure and make their next move are truly strong.
When you feel your spirit is about to break, remember this quote and spur yourself on!
