All dreams can come true—if you have the courage to pursue them.NEW!Walt Disney
These are the words of Walt Disney, founder of the Disney Resort.
Anyone can dream, but when it comes to making those dreams a reality, the road can be harsh.
Even he, known as a success, repeatedly failed—struggling to make a living when he couldn’t land the work he wanted, and even driving a studio he founded into bankruptcy.
Yet he succeeded because he never lost his passion and never gave up.
If you want to make your dreams come true, you must move forward with courage and without fear of failure.
You are never too old to set new goals or to dream new dreams.NEW!Clive Staples Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis, a British author known as the writer of The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Chronicles of Narnia was published from 1950 to 1956, and it’s said that he actually began writing this masterpiece after he turned 50.
This famous quote is one he left behind, telling us that regardless of age, people can achieve their dreams if they put their minds to it.
Isn’t it a wonderful message that encourages everyone who couldn’t chase their dreams when they were young?
I succeeded because I never made excuses and never allowed them.NEW!Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was the woman who established the world’s first school for training nurses.
Although her family opposed her decision to pursue nursing, she refused to give up and came to be known as the “mother of modern nursing.” This quote, born from her experience, reminds us of the importance of approaching matters with sincerity and a sense of responsibility, and of persevering to the end.
Excuses are nothing more than a temporary fix.
If you want to succeed at something, don’t make excuses—face reality earnestly and consider what you can do.
Things you did—even if they failed—will be something you can laugh about in 20 years. But the things you didn’t do will be nothing but regrets in 20 years.NEW!Mark Twain

♪ Original Song – Bright Career Lab – BraKyari
You often hear that it’s better to regret something you did than something you didn’t do.
This quote likewise teaches us the importance of taking on challenges.
Mark Twain, known as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and one of America’s foremost novelists, also experienced bankruptcy in his personal life due to extravagance and failed investments.
However, he later paid off his debts and became wealthy again! Whether a challenge enriches your life is something you won’t know until you see the results, but the regret of not trying will likely stay with you forever.
If there’s something you want to do, gather your courage and take the first step!
In the new year, even small things are fine—let’s set tasks for ourselves one by one and keep to them. Isn’t that the shortcut to building what we call our true selves?NEW!Kazuko Watanabe
This is a famous quote by Kazuko Watanabe, a Catholic nun.
Life refers to the time we have spent so far—but then, what is our true self? When we think about it, it’s difficult, isn’t it? She suggests a shortcut to creating our authentic selves: bring change to yourself.
It could be habits in daily life or goals for your life—anything is fine.
What matters is expanding your own potential and discovering what is important to you.
The accumulation of that may, before you know it, become your true self.
If there were no winter, the coming of spring would not be so welcomed. If we did not experience adversity from time to time, success would not feel so delightful either.NEW!Anne Bradstreet
These are the words of the American poet Anne Bradstreet.
Winter is bitterly cold, and when snow piles up, even going out is a struggle.
In contrast, spring is warm, flowers bloom in profusion, and it is a season when we can enjoy beautiful scenery.
It is precisely because winter exists that spring appears all the more vivid.
In the same way, it is because we face adversity that we can rejoice in success and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Few people would willingly choose adversity, but if we see it as necessary for the success that lies ahead, we can strive to overcome it.
Something might happen even to those who merely wait, but it will be only the leftovers from those who made the effort.NEW!Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is also known as the “Father of Emancipation.” This quote teaches us the importance of taking initiative.
Many people hope for change yet fail to take action, often out of fear of failure or concern about risks.
However, if you want to seize great success or opportunities, you must think for yourself, put in the effort, and take action.
If you realize you’ve only been waiting, now is the time.
Step to the front yourself and carve out the path to success!
