[Graduation] Touching One-Liners to Add to a Message Board: Heartfelt Messages (11–20)
As long as you keep challenging yourself, failure does not exist.Mark Zuckerberg
These are the words of Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook and greatly influenced the fabric of society.
Through a series of innovative challenges, he has experienced a great deal of trial and error.
When we try to avoid mistakes and failures in studying for exams or taking tests, we end up reducing the very act of challenging ourselves.
As long as we keep taking action, we learn from it, leading to the next improvement.
Failure is not the end, but a process along the path of growth.
This quote shows that a persistent spirit of challenge opens up the future and encourages proactive action.
May the future of XX be bright.
These words are perfect for celebrating a new beginning.
You can feel the sincere hope that the graduates will lead happy lives.
As they strive in new places, there may be moments when their spirits are broken.
In such times, these words can be a source of support and a reason not to give up on happiness.
Knowing that someone wishes for your happiness can be more empowering than you might expect.
I think this is a message that parents, teachers, and underclassmen alike can use.
I want to keep your strict yet kind guidance from my senior in mind and do my best!
There are probably many seniors who have encouraged their juniors kindly while also being strict at times, hoping for their growth.
You could call it tough love, but the one doing it is hurting inside, too.
They steel themselves, prepared to be disliked, and still harden their heart for the junior’s sake.
If you have such a senior, give them these words: “I will carry on your thoughts and resolve.” When that sentiment reaches them, they might be so moved that they’re brought to tears.
I’ve been able to keep going until now because you were there for me, senpai. Thank you very much.
Many of you may have had the experience of being helped by an upperclassman at school or in a club.
Sometimes a passing remark or the way someone lives can give you courage.
If there was a senior who made you feel that way, try writing these words in a message board.
Even if they never intended it, the fact that they helped you will be a joy to them and the best encouragement as they move on to a new path.
Please take this chance to express the gratitude you don’t usually get to convey.
My senior was someone I admired.
Becoming someone others admire—wouldn’t everyone like to experience that at least once? It boosts your confidence, and it’s such a joy to know someone aspires to be like you.
If there’s a graduating upperclassman you look up to, why not write, “You were my role model”? These words convey everything: your admiration for them and your wish to meet them again.
If you want to express your feelings to a senior in a short, simple way, give this phrase a try.
Please come visit from time to time even after you graduate.
I love how “sometimes” sounds humble yet still conveys that you really want them to come.
I think many people would feel, “If I saw this written, I’d definitely want to go!” Graduates are surely excited about their new beginnings, but at the same time they must feel the sadness of leaving a familiar place.
The words “Please come again” will be very well received.
For a senior you really admire, try sending these words to let them know you’re looking forward to seeing them again.

Please stay the same 〇〇 even after graduation.
These words convey how much you love the person as they are now.
They also seem to carry a sense of sadness at the thought of them changing.
Many people find it hard to meet close friends or seniors as often after graduation.
In times like that, why not write this message in a farewell card? It’s perfect for when you want to express that this person was the best friend or senior to you.
If that feeling reaches them, they’ll surely remember you, too.
