[Collection of Quotes / Coco Chanel] True beauty is born from being yourself. #Quotes #GoodWords #PhilosophyOfTheHeart

If deep down you feel, “This isn’t the real me…,” remember this quote.

Being true to yourself is what truly refines you.

The future is not something you predict; it’s something you make possible yourself.NEW!Saint-Exupéry

The future is not what you predict, but what you make possible yourself.

Saint-Exupéry, who was both a pilot and a novelist, is loved around the world for his book The Little Prince.

This famous quote carries a powerful message: the future is not something to be predicted and decided in advance, but something to be opened up and realized through our own efforts.

It’s important to consider “What will happen?”, but the results of predictions do not become the future as they are.

Because the future can change in countless ways depending on us, let’s take proactive action to get even a little closer to the future we envision.

Even if you compare yourself to others and find yourself inferior, it is by no means something to be ashamed of. However, if you compare yourself to who you were last year and find that you are worse this year, that is truly something to be ashamed of.NEW!Konosuke Matsushita

Konosuke Matsushita’s saying: Even if you compare yourself with others and find yourself inferior, there is nothing to be ashamed of. But if you compare yourself with who you were last year and find that you are inferior this year, that is truly something to be ashamed of.

Konosuke Matsushita, one of Japan’s leading entrepreneurs known as the “God of Management,” is famous for building Panasonic Holdings in a single lifetime and serves as a role model for many business leaders.

This quote teaches us about the right way to grow.

When there’s someone who shares the same goal, we tend to compare ourselves with them.

However, the focus should not be on rivals but on ourselves.

Even if you outperform others, if you are inferior to who you were last year, it cannot be called growth.

Strive not for success, but to become a person of value.NEW!Albert Einstein

Einstein: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be a man of value.” #shorts

For most people who want to accomplish something, the goal is likely to be success.

However, Albert Einstein, regarded as the greatest physicist of the 20th century, stated in this famous quote that we should strive to become a person of value rather than to be successful.

Success generally refers to gaining wealth or fame, but becoming too fixated on it can at times lead to unnecessary conflicts and friction with others.

When that happens, we distance ourselves from happiness.

To avoid this, perhaps he is teaching us that our talents should be used not only for ourselves but to truly help others, and that we should find value in that.

Life is a series of selections, and there are times when you’re forced to make choices that may determine your future and you hesitate.

In those moments, consider what to discard and what to choose—perhaps recalling these words will help.

Precisely because these choices shape your life, you may begin to see what truly matters.
