[Graduation] Thank-you messages to teachers; messages from teachers to graduates, too

Do not fear failure; learn a great deal from many experiences.

A sentence that conveys the idea that failure leads to learning.

Of course, no one wants to fail if they can avoid it.

But if we spend all our time playing it safe out of fear of failure, we may miss out on growth.

These words express the importance of sometimes taking the plunge and stepping forward.

Please become an adult who can view yourself objectively and always reflect on how you ought to be.

Here’s a sentence that conveys, “When you’re unsure, it’s important to stop and ask yourself whether this is really okay.” When you’re overwhelmed by busyness, it can be hard to see yourself objectively, which may lead you to lose your way or cause trouble for others.

Working hard is admirable, but if you’re worried that someone might be pushing themselves so much that they’re losing sight of who they are, consider sharing this with them.

Without relying on your circumstances, with firm determination and by drawing strength from the support of your teachers and guardians, take the initiative to work toward realizing your dreams.

While receiving support from those around you, this conveys the message to firmly hold on to yourself and do your best no matter what happens.

Even if you can persevere with strong will at first, you may start to get complacent as you get used to things.

If you remember these words at such times, you’ll be able to pull yourself together and push forward again.

Even when you face tough times from now on, hold your head high and press forward with beautiful posture and a smile.

A line that can serve as a source of strength for surviving the harsh realities of society after finishing school.

Precisely because times can be tough, it urges you to stand tall and keep walking with a pure, genuine smile.

No matter how many years pass after graduation, these words will continue to give students a gentle push forward.

Suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope.

These words are filled with encouragement: even when things are tough, overcoming them leads to hope for the future.

In hard times, it’s natural to want to run away.

But instead of fleeing right away, endure until the time is right, keep training yourself, and look toward a bright future.

Walk through life with confidence and responsibility.

What people need to make their way through life is, I believe, confidence and responsibility.

Confidence—the strong power to believe in yourself—will become your greatest ally as long as you don’t use it the wrong way.

And a sense of responsibility—the willingness to own what you’ve done at all times—will, before you know it, expand your capacity as a person.

With those sentiments in mind, please share these words.
