Words to say to someone who’s doing their best. What are phrases that seem to support their effort? (21–30)
Nothing is impossible.Muhammad Ali
These are the words of Muhammad Ali, who symbolized an era as the world heavyweight champion and left behind many legendary bouts.
This short phrase embodies his stance of believing in his own potential without being bound by conventions or others’ evaluations.
In studying as well, if you decide from the start that something is impossible, the seed of growth will never sprout.
It is precisely when you face difficult challenges that a spirit of taking them on can change your future.
Even walls that seem insurmountable can, through steady effort, turn into realistic goals.
It is a famous quote that strips away preconceptions and gives us the courage to act.
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the result.Mahatma Gandhi
Here is a famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian spiritual and political leader: “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.” When the hard work you’ve put in turns into results and achievements, the joy is surely great.
You may also feel a sense of satisfaction—but where does that feeling come from? If the goals and dreams were your own, you must have felt satisfaction and happiness during the very process of striving.
Results aren’t everything; perhaps what matters is to keep working toward what you want to be or do, enjoying the effort along the way.
When results finally come, looking back on the time you were striving is what lets you feel satisfied and happy.
Success and failure are not the end. What matters is the courage to keep going.Winston Churchill
When we’re advancing toward a goal, I think everyone has moments of elation and disappointment over successes and failures along the way.
However, it was Winston Churchill, who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who said that each individual success or failure is not what matters; what matters most is the courage to continue.
To help ensure that effort and hard work are reflected in the best possible results, I want to shout to those who are striving: “Just keep going exactly as you are!”
So what if you failed? Learn from the failure and try again.Walt Disney
Walt Disney, who created Disneyland overflowing with dreams and magic and produced many Disney animated works.
These words from him—shaped through numerous failures and hardships as he created his many works—give us the courage to keep challenging ourselves without giving up, even when we fail.
When we fail at something, it’s easy to feel discouraged, but he reminds us not to worry about that and to simply try again, aiming for what’s next.
If you’re feeling down after a setback, let these words give you the strength to keep going.
Do not listen to other people’s expectations. Live your own life and meet your own expectations.Tiger Woods
The harder someone is working, the more various expectations people around them tend to place on them.
However, it was golfer Tiger Woods who stated clearly that “you don’t have to try to meet those expectations.” Given his talent—it’s no exaggeration to say he’s the most famous golfer in the world—he must have faced all kinds of expectations from others.
But he said that instead of meeting others’ expectations, you should strive to meet your own.
These words truly resonate with those who are giving their all, and they can be a source of strength for the heart.
The greatest glory in living is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.Nelson Mandela
If you’re giving something your all, it’s inevitable that you’ll experience setbacks along the way.
In such moments, I’d like to offer these words from Nelson Mandela, the former President of South Africa.
He said that the greatest thing is not to never fail, but to keep moving forward without losing heart even after failure.
If someone close to you who’s been working hard seems on the verge of giving up, why not share these words with them?
Do not compare yourself to anyone else in this world.Bill Gates
People tend to compare themselves with others, don’t they? However, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, tells us that comparing ourselves to those around us isn’t good.
He goes on to say that comparing yourself to others is the same as insulting yourself.
Thinking things like “No matter how hard I try, I can’t do it as well as that person,” or “I’m way worse than them” is essentially piling on yourself.
You are you, and they are they—so draw a clear line and tackle various things with a positive attitude!
