10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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.

Words that make you forget negativity in an instant! Positive quotes from great figures and famous people (41–50)

My inner self commands me to keep going like this.Vincent van Gogh

Speaking of Van Gogh, he’s known for not being highly regarded during his lifetime and for selling very few of his paintings.

He gained recognition only after his death, and many of his famous works—such as Sunflowers and The Starry Night—were painted in his later years.

One memorable quote he left is, “Go on as you are; the ‘me’ within me commands it.” Isn’t that a statement very much in keeping with Van Gogh, who lived his entire life as a painter regardless of how little recognition he received? Being true to oneself isn’t easy, but if you can stay steadfast like Van Gogh, you might just leave your name behind as one of the geniuses.

If you ever hear a voice within you say, ‘You can’t paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.Vincent van Gogh

This is a quote that gives us courage when starting something new.

Everyone begins from a place of not being able to do it.

But if you avoid doing it just because you can’t, you’ll never be able to do it for the rest of your life.

If you want to take that path and master it, you have to start by trying.

By continuing, you’ll build confidence, and before you know it, that voice saying “I can’t” will fall silent.

Don’t lose to your own weakness—go challenge your dreams and goals.

If we had nothing to regret, life would be very empty.Vincent van Gogh

A “life without regrets” is something everyone probably wishes for.

But in a sense, such a life might be dull.

Having no regrets can also be taken to mean never challenging yourself and never moving from a safe place.

As long as people live seeking something, they are bound to fail and to feel regret—that itself can be called proof of having truly lived.

Failure and regret are opportunities to grow.

If you think of them as things necessary to make life more fulfilling, doesn’t it make you feel a little lighter?

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States and often hailed as “the greatest president in history,” was a statesman whose famous saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” speaks to the power of strong conviction and determination.

The challenges that await in a new world may be harder to overcome than anything we’ve faced before.

Yet this quote teaches us that for those with unwavering resolve, the future will surely open up.

It’s a message well worth sharing with someone facing a farewell and feeling uncertain about what lies ahead.
