A gift to my present self! Memorable, uplifting words and the source of courage to change (21–30)
Children are beings of possibility. They have many choices every day. Actually, the same is true for adults.Hayao Miyazaki
It conveys a gentle message that everyone has many possible paths into the future.
We often say that children can “become anything” when they grow up.
But in truth, even as adults we can try new things and start over.
Regardless of age, every day is a series of choices, and the future changes depending on how we choose.
For example, starting a new hobby or beginning to study toward a dream are steps you can take today.
These words softly encourage us not to give up on our own potential.
I wonder what truly matters to me. Who are the people who are truly important to me? I feel like just sincerely pondering these two things is enough to lead a good life.Shigesato Itoi
It teaches us that happiness isn’t found outside, but within our own hearts.
When we’re always busy, we tend to get distracted by others’ opinions, money, and trends.
But simply pausing now and then to ask, “What truly matters to me?” gradually brings our way of living into alignment.
For example, if you decide you want to cherish time with your beloved family and friends, your actions will naturally start to change.
These words convey that facing your true feelings leads to a warmer, more fulfilling life.
If you laugh, the world laughs with you. If you cry, you cry alone.Ella Wheeler Wilcox
These are the opening words of “Solitude,” a work by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, a poet who was active in the United States.
They express the connection between sorrow and loneliness and also convey how important it is to stay positive.
When you are laughing, people gather; when you are sad, you are alone—this encourages us to be as positive as possible so that people will come together.
It also stirs the courage to face hardship, reminding us that it is we ourselves who overcome suffering.
What matters is not who you’ve been up to now, but who you’ll be from here on.Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald is one of the greatest jazz vocalists, but she can hardly be said to have grown up in good circumstances.
Even while her biological mother was alive, she was placed in an orphanage, and after her mother died of illness and she became an orphan, she often ended up in trouble with the police…
She is said to have experienced homelessness as well.
Her words will surely save those who are in extremely difficult situations right now: Instead of thinking, “I’m worthless anyway,” imagine your future self and cherish a dream for that future.
As long as you don’t give up on yourself, a better future will surely open up.
If you think you can, you can; if you think you can’t, you can’t. This is an unshakable, absolute law.Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is known as a painter whose style kept shifting from one phase to the next.
Looking at his works The Old Guitarist, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and Dove, you might even wonder, “Were these really painted by the same person?” Perhaps he had a curious nature that compelled him to try things whenever something caught his interest.
Here are some words Picasso left us.
Just as he changed his style as he wished, you too can surely become anything.
But if you decide on your own that you cannot, then you won’t.
So believe that you can, and keep moving forward.
Be true to the dreams of your youth.Friedrich von Schiller
What did you want to be when you were a child? A firefighter, a police officer, a baker, a candy shop owner…
You probably had all sorts of dreams.
But as we grow up and spend our days simply working through tasks, we begin to forget what we wanted to do and who we wanted to become.
In such times, remember the words of Friedrich von Schiller.
In those days when you were purely pursuing something…
your dream may still be there.
There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun
People dwell on their failures and regret the futures that might have been.
But there’s no need to fixate on what’s already over.
As Lu Xun’s words suggest, your future can still stretch on endlessly.
Failure becomes valuable experience if you use it next time, and the future that might have been may yet be recovered.
Keep your eyes forward, not back, and move ahead so you can become a better version of yourself and live a life you’re proud of.
You can’t change the past, but you can change the future as much as you like!
