Believe that someday, your turn for a chance will surely come.Yasushi Akimoto

Yasushi Akimoto is a music producer known for working with many popular idol groups, and he wears many hats as an entrepreneur and film director.
His famous quote, “Someday, without fail, your turn for a chance will come—believe it,” is a message that could only come from someone like Akimoto, who has continually fostered talent.
In a large group competing against one another, some will succeed and others will not.
Even so, this quote teaches us that those who keep honing themselves are the ones who can seize the opportunities when they finally come around.
It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp, an actor counted among the world’s biggest movie stars who made an unforgettable impact in films like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
His famous quote, “It’s just a bad day, not a bad life,” can help soothe a heavy heart.
In painful or difficult times, we tend to feel as though our entire life isn’t paying off, but if we can remember that there are good days and bad days, we can reset our mindset.
It’s a heartwarming quote that gives us the courage to face tomorrow.
It’s okay. Let’s rebuild again.Akio Tadano
These are the words of Akio Tadano, who ran a ryokan in Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture—words about moving forward with a positive spirit even in the face of hardship.
At the time, many interviews carried a heavy sense of gloom and featured questions that stoked anxiety, which is why the fact that he delivered these words with a smile drew so much attention.
They convey a powerful hope amid uncertainty—the sense that by keeping on and not standing still, a new path will open.
The impression is further strengthened by the fact that Mr.
Tadano actually rebuilt his ryokan, embodying the importance of facing forward, just as he said.
If you endure, you will surely become a strong person.Senichi Hoshino
These are the words of Senichi Hoshino, who excelled as a player for the Chunichi Dragons during his career and later made his mark as a manager for the Chunichi Dragons, the Hanshin Tigers, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.
During the Great East Japan Earthquake, he was the manager of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, the team from the disaster-stricken region, and his words are remembered for inspiring many people.
He conveys that no matter what difficulties you face, you should give your all in the present and confront them head-on—that strength lies along the path you advance by doing so.
Because these are the words of Hoshino, who rebuilt teams whose results had faltered, they carry real persuasive power; they are words that lift your spirits and make you want to keep pushing forward.
Humans will end up happy anyway.Kazlaser
There are movies that don’t end with a happy ending, right? How many can you name? I dislike stories that don’t end happily—I simply won’t read, watch, or listen to them.
Depending on how you take it, I think Kazlaser’s words here can sound quite cruel, because there are people who, no matter what, can’t feel happy.
But try prefacing it with “Even so,” and then read the line: “Humans are bound to end up happy anyway.” Doesn’t it even bring Kaz’s smile to mind? It’s something I want you to remember when you feel like you’re about to lose heart.
Because there is a premise of happiness, we are able to find unhappiness.Kazlaser

People inevitably tend to focus on misfortune and problems, but happiness is something we can truly feel precisely because those moments exist as a contrast.
That said, there’s no need to let your heart be consumed by misfortune.
By consciously looking away just a little, you become more aware of the small joys and comforts in everyday life.
The more knowledgeable and analytical a person is, the more they notice and feel the problems and misfortunes hidden in daily life; but by intentionally avoiding them, the mind becomes calmer and you can savor everyday happiness more fully.
The very act of looking away is a positive strategy to keep your heart from being ruled by misfortune.

Being alive itself is, by nature, happiness.Kazlaser
In this age overflowing with information on social media, seeing someone else’s seemingly fun life can make you feel like you have nothing, or leave you discouraged by comparison.
But if you think about it, simply getting through today safely, or enjoying a good meal—those small joys and learnings, accumulated day by day, are valuable in their own right.
What matters is not comparing yourself to others, but paying attention to what kind of day you had today, what you felt, and what you did.
By doing so, your heart will gradually become calmer, and you’ll be able to appreciate the very fact of being alive and notice the small happinesses in your life.
