Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

These are weighty words: those who have accomplished something great realize there is even more they must do.

Those who do nothing can’t even come to know that.

But those who have taken in the view that can only be seen by climbing can look at things from a bird’s-eye perspective and discover the path they should take next.

And then they move on to the next step, growing more and more.

Growth is full of joy.

It’s an uplifting quote that opens the door to worlds you didn’t know, and makes you feel the importance of moving forward.

Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. — Nelson Mandela

Watch “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. Nelson Mandela” on YouTube

In our daily lives, there are things we take for granted and habits we follow without questioning.

To break through such assumptions that feel like common sense, education is necessary—and it can serve as a tool to change the world.

By looking beyond our immediate surroundings and learning about the wider world, we can encounter new values, and moving forward with that awareness may lead to changing the world.

At the same time, depending on its direction, education can also distort values.

This expresses both the importance and the potential dangers of education.

What matters for success is not where you start, but how high you set your goals.Nelson Mandela

When striving for success, it doesn’t matter whether you are currently close to or far from your goal.

No matter how high the target is, what matters is moving toward it; you can feel the strong message to never compromise on your goal-setting.

For Mr.

Mandela as well, the abolition of racial discrimination in South Africa at the time may have been an immense dream.

Yet by fixing it as an absolute destination, he was able to keep moving forward with an indomitable spirit.

It’s a quote that lifts us out of timidity and fills us with strength and hope.

Famous quotes (11–20) by Nelson Mandela, the politician who fought against structures of discrimination throughout his life

We must not forget that it is ordinary people—of all ages and genders—who create a wonderful world.Nelson Mandela

These words express that the world is sustained by the many people who inhabit it—the vast majority often called ordinary citizens.

It may seem as if a single charismatic figure created the world, but the message also suggests that the world exists because there were people who supported and followed that figure.

Since everyone is an essential element in changing and building the world, it feels like a call to believe in yourself and move forward.

It is a statement that gives hope to ordinary people while also offering a prompt to those in leadership positions.

No power on Earth can trample upon the yearning for human dignity.Nelson Mandela

In every era, great powers exist in the world.

Each individual human has only a small amount of power, yet the hope for their rights and dignity should be something that no power, however great, can suppress.

It feels like a powerful message is embedded here—that hope for how people live and for their very lives is stronger than anything and can become the greatest weapon.

Even in today’s world, where problems still pile up, this is a universal, grand, treasure-like saying that I hope will be passed down across time all around the globe.

With strong will and knowledge, there is no adversity in this world that cannot be led to victory.Nelson Mandela

These are words of encouragement for when you’re about to hit a wall and feel like giving up, or when you’re faced with adversity.

When a daunting obstacle appears before us, we tend to want to run away or sink into despair.

However, the message is that a path will always open for those who possess both a strong, unwavering “will” and the right “knowledge” to face challenges with calm composure.

Mandela’s words, which brought about great transformation in South Africa through an indomitable spirit, still offer us wisdom for living today.

We must understand, with unwavering conviction, that all human beings are equal.Nelson Mandela

There are times when we feel not only that the world can be fair, but also moments of suffering from inequality and injustice.

These words speak to the idea that, to change a world where we sense such unfairness, it is important for all humankind to recognize that everyone is equal.

If everyone truly believed that all people are equal, we would stop imposing inequality on others and could move toward a more equitable world.

Precisely because there are moments when upholding equality is difficult, this message also teaches us the importance of having conviction.
