Dreams—nothing else creates the future.NEW!Victor Hugo
I wonder what I’ll become in the future.
Isn’t this something everyone thinks about at least once? The answer can be found in Victor Hugo’s famous words.
The future is, in other words, what lies ahead.
No one knows what your future will be.
But one thing can be stated clearly: its creator is you.
Your dreams, goals, and ideals will guide your path and shape your future.
So please don’t forget to keep holding on to your dreams.
The story begins here.NEW!Osamu Tezuka
Osamu Tezuka, the manga artist behind many masterpieces such as Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and Princess Knight, is also known as a physician who graduated from what is now Osaka University’s School of Medicine.
The quote he left us is perfect for the graduation season, when we often feel lonely.
You may be leaving the place you’ve grown accustomed to, but your life is just beginning.
From that very moment, a new story starts.
Keep this quote close to your heart, and don’t hesitate to try again and again as you walk a path toward a story you can truly be satisfied with.
Failure is the mother of success.NEW!
It is a proverb meaning that by reflecting on the causes of failure and correcting methods and shortcomings, one can ultimately achieve success.
There is a theory that it was introduced to Japan in the Meiji era as a translation of the English proverb “Failure teaches success,” presented with expressions such as “Those who do not fail cannot gain wealth” and “Failure is a good teacher of success.” Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda, is known as someone who embodied “Failure is the stepping stone to success.” He left the words, “Success is the 1% supported by 99% failure.”
98% of our worries are needlessNEW!Masahiro Fujimura
Masahiro Fujimura, renowned as a charismatic figure in the marketing world, has also published books on the method of selling experiences.
Don’t you think these words resonate with many people? When we want to take action but can’t, it’s usually because of risks, the future, and other worries.
However, Mr.
Fujimura says that 98% of those worries are needless.
In other words, overthinking won’t help.
No matter how much you think, your anxiety will never drop to zero, so believe that you’ll be okay and keep moving forward.
The punishment for a liar is not, at least, that he is no longer believed by others. Rather, it is that he can no longer believe anyone.NEW!Bernard Shaw
Here is a famous quote by George Bernard Shaw, the renowned British playwright.
He wrote Pygmalion, which served as the basis for My Fair Lady, starring Audrey Hepburn.
He was originally known for making slightly sarcastic remarks.
So perhaps he saw people and things from angles different from everyone else.
As the famous quote says, if you lie too much, you will lose the trust of those around you.
However, it is also a painful situation when the person who lied can no longer fully trust the words of others.
It leads to constantly viewing those around you with suspicion.
For children who are about to spread their wings and soar, a safe and secure environment is essential.

Those who do not advance will surely fall back, and those who do not retreat will surely advance.NEW!Yukichi Fukuzawa
These are words written in the book An Encouragement of Learning.
They are followed by: “It is a principle that there must not be those who, advancing neither forward nor backward, remain stagnant.” “Stagnation” means staying in the same place—in other words, maintaining the status quo.
Taken together with the preceding statement, it means that the only people who can move forward are those who keep advancing without retreat, and that if you try to maintain the status quo without striving to move ahead, you will inevitably fall behind.
It is important to always have the ambition to move at least a little further than yesterday and to keep taking on challenges.
Whether the results turn out well or badly, people who take on a challenge deserve respect—respect them. That’s something I want to teach, and I want it taught to me as well.Seiji Chihara
Every challenge has both success and failure, but what this saying conveys is that the value lies not in the outcome, but in the very fact that you took on the challenge.
Compared to those who stay in a safe place doing nothing, those who take a single step forward show courage and resolve, and they grow steadily through experience.
The attitude of Seiji Chihara—active across a wide range as a comedian and as a Buddhist monk—also shows the importance of pursuing challenges without being swayed by others’ opinions.
Recognizing effort and challenge in one another is essential for bringing out each other’s potential.
This is a quote that helps us understand the meaning of having respect for challengers.
