Words I want to make my motto that always inspire me

The only true failure is failing to learn anything from it.Henry Ford

There’s a saying, “Failure is the mother of success.” What it means is that even if you fail, you should learn something from it and apply it next time.

Henry Ford, founder of the American automaker Ford, left words that align with this proverb.

He said, “Even if you fail, if you learn something from it, it isn’t a failure.” In other words, the worst thing is making no effort to learn at all.

These are words to keep in mind whenever we take on a challenge.

If all you do is state the obvious, you’ll only achieve obvious results.Hidetoshi Nakata

A legendary figure in Japanese soccer known to all.

He’s famous for countless achievements, including standout performances at Italian powerhouses Perugia, Parma, and Fiorentina.

Many J.League players likely look up to him as a role model.

His words have a way of jolting those who are coasting through life.

Once you think “This is good enough,” your personal growth stops.

They’re fiery words unique to him—someone who, during his playing days, sometimes clashed with the media thanks to his big mouth.

Good things are thanks to others; bad things are rust from oneself (i.e., one’s own doing).Mitsuo Aida

Mitsuo Aida, a poet and calligrapher known for the phrase “ningen da mono” (“We’re only human”), lived a life that was even made into a TV drama, moving many to tears thanks to the passionate performance of Tunnels’ Noritake Kinashi.

When something bad happens to us, we humans tend to ask, “Why did this have to happen?” and look for causes outside ourselves.

But quite often, the trouble actually stems from something we did.

When you’re angry, I think it’s worthwhile to recall this phrase and calm yourself.

It’s also a perfect motto that helps you be kinder to others.

Genius is nothing more than a mediocre person who works hard.Albert Einstein

Quotes & Sayings: “Genius is the ordinary person who puts in the effort.” — Albert Einstein #shorts

Physicist Albert Einstein, known worldwide as a byword for “genius,” leaves us with a surprising statement, doesn’t he? It carries the message: “There is no such thing as a person who is a genius from birth.

The ability to work harder than anyone else—that is the quality of those called geniuses.” It’s hard for anyone to keep making steady efforts.

But perhaps it’s precisely those who overcome hardship and struggle, and who work harder than anyone else, who truly gain something.

These are gem-like words that encourage us and rouse our spirits.

Honesty is always the best policy.George Washington

Washington's quote: Honesty is always the best policy. #quotes #quoteSeries #history

Do you know the anecdote about George Washington and the cherry tree? When Washington was a child, he wanted to test how sharp his hatchet was and ended up cutting down a cherry tree that his father treasured.

When his father asked, “Do you know who cut it down?” Washington, knowing he would be scolded, honestly said, “I did it.” Some say this anecdote isn’t true, but either way, it has come to symbolize Washington’s honesty.

In a long life, there are many times we may waver, but telling lies often ends up causing us suffering in the end.

Many people have probably adopted Washington’s words as a personal motto!

Forge yourself with a thousand days of training; temper yourself with ten thousand days of training.Miyamoto Musashi

Forge yourself with a thousand days of practice; temper yourself with ten thousand days of training. — Miyamoto Musashi #WisdomForLife #WordsOfTheGreat #WordsThatResonate #Motivation #Inspiration

All the great figures in history have said that sustained effort is indispensable for accomplishing things.

Miyamoto Musashi, the master swordsman known for his duel with Sasaki Kojiro on Ganryu Island, also left words about the importance of continued effort.

He expressed it as “train for a thousand days, refine for ten thousand days,” using the term tanren (forging/discipline) to emphasize the value of steadily accumulating effort.

You can really feel the necessity of continuing to work hard for decades in order to achieve something.

Be all the more cautious when making that final push.Takeda Shingen

4. Five famous quotes of Takeda Shingen

Takeda Shingen of Kai Province, known as a master general of the Sengoku period, left behind several famous sayings, all of them excellent.

One of them is this: having lived through the Sengoku era, he likely learned firsthand the importance of avoiding even small lapses in vigilance, as minor carelessness could lead to great damage or loss.

He teaches us that it is crucial to see things through to the end without letting our guard down.

The proverb “Tighten the chin strap of your helmet after victory” conveys a similar lesson.
