Quotes that accompany the departure called graduation—words that will give you courage for the life ahead.

If you think you can, you can; if you think you can’t, you can’t. This is an unshakable, absolute law.Pablo Picasso

Which arts subject did you choose in high school? If you chose art, I imagine you also studied Cubism.

Picasso, the founder of that movement, was one of those artists who led a life full of hardships.

While his mosaic-like geometric paintings are famous, he also left behind many works of printmaking and ceramics.

His words seem to advise us: “Don’t overthink—act first.” In a new phase of life, it’s easy to become conservative in various ways.

His message also seems to resonate with Takagishi from Timon-D, known for his phrase, “If you try, you can do it.”

In this world, there is a unique path that only you can walk. Do not ask where that path will lead. Simply keep moving forward.Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, the German thinker and philosopher.

His philosophy is often called a “philosophy of self-affirmation.” Among the many famous quotes he left, this one is especially well-known and encouraging.

People may interpret it in different ways, but many will feel, “I don’t need to imitate anyone… I can move forward as myself.” When you lose sight of the path you should take, remember this quote.

No one can teach you how to live. That’s something you have to discover for yourself.Bob Marley

These are the words of Bob Marley, the Jamaican musician beloved by music fans around the world as the god of reggae.

After graduation, when you take a new step forward, there may come a time when you want someone to teach you a life philosophy—how to live from here on and grow into adulthood.

However, Bob Marley says that how to live is something you discover for yourself through trial and error.

Go out and make many choices, have many different experiences, and find a way of living that’s uniquely your own.

You should just go all out and try whatever you set your mind to. No matter which way things turn out, we humans, like stones by the roadside, end our lives as bones all the same.Ryoma Sakamoto

There was a time when Ryōma Sakamoto’s reputation became a point of contention, causing a brief uproar over whether he should be omitted from social studies textbooks.

Even so, I hear that many prominent figures across various fields—such as Tetsuya Takeda, Masayoshi Son, and Ryotārō Shiba—are fans of Sakamoto.

Perhaps part of the admiration stems not from some grand, history-making feat, but from his behind-the-scenes role as a bridge in history, and the charm of his character that left its mark there.

This famous quote, too, is utterly unpretentious—quintessentially Sakamoto.

This single quote alone makes me feel I could grow fond of him.

Your destiny is determined at the moment you make a decision.Anthony Robbins

[Today's Quote] "It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." — Anthony Robbins #quote #vtuber #shortsfeed #shorts #AI_sisters_daily

Tony Robbins, a self-help author whose 1986 book Unlimited Power became a bestseller with over 10 million copies, is also known as a speaker and holds seminars around the world.

He has even visited Japan.

This quote is his, and it’s the kind of message that really makes you sit up straight.

Making a decision with determination—it takes a great deal of courage, but that’s precisely why it enables us to move forward and seize the chance to accomplish something.

As you reach the milestone of graduation, I hope you’ll keep this quote in mind.

Do not anticipate difficulties. Do not trouble your mind over things that may never happen. Always keep sunshine in your heart.Benjamin Franklin

Do you know the word “kuyu” (groundless fears)? It comes from a story in ancient China about a person from the state of Qi who worried, “What if the sky collapses on us?” Its meaning is that unnecessary worries are unnecessary.

Different as East and West may be, there’s something in it that resonates with Benjamin Franklin’s words, isn’t there? Speaking of Franklin, he’s famous for the episode where he flew a kite and proved that thunderclouds are electrically charged.

He didn’t spend time “looking for reasons not to do something,” like “What if I get electrocuted?” or “What if I die?” Trying new things is scary, but I want to cherish that spirit of challenge he had.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.Albert Einstein

Einstein, who kept making numerous discoveries with knowledge and insights that went far beyond the ordinary—such as special relativity and the fluctuation–dissipation theorem—is also famous for that playful photo with his tongue sticking out.

Even someone like Einstein surely achieved many successes only after repeated trials and errors and failures.

I believe this quote speaks to the importance of perseverance and of continuing to try.

Even if you stumble in a new environment after graduation, I hope you’ll remember these words and always keep moving forward.
