No one has ever drowned in their own sweat.Lou Holtz
As the saying goes, you won’t drown in your own sweat.
In other words, if you have something you want to do or a dream you want to achieve, this message tells you to work hard and sweat for it.
These are the words of Lou Holtz, the legendary coach who led college football teams.
He himself surely shed a great deal of sweat alongside his players in pursuit of victory.
If you feel you haven’t worked hard enough to break a sweat yet, take this saying to heart and give it your all.
Beyond that effort, success and the achievement of your goals surely await.
You only realize your own strength once you’ve overcome your anxieties and concerns.Serena Williams
These are the words of Serena Williams, who has etched her name in the history of women’s tennis.
The road to the top is never smooth; it is a continuous struggle with anxiety and doubt.
When studying, everyone has moments when they lose confidence in their abilities and feel like stopping.
It is precisely at such times that the experience of facing your anxieties rather than fleeing from them becomes essential.
Only after overcoming difficulties can you recognize strengths beyond what you imagined.
It’s a quote that accepts the emotional turbulence that comes with challenge and gives you the courage to move forward.
Is there anything uncool about losing after giving it your all fair and square?!Chihaya Ayase (Chihayafuru)
“Is there anything uncool about losing when you’ve fought fair and square?!” is a famous line by Chihaya Ayase, the protagonist of the anime Chihayafuru, which centers on competitive Hyakunin Isshu karuta.
There’s nothing uncool about giving it your all and losing.
Of course, in competition, winning is wonderful.
But before and during any battle, there are all kinds of walls and inner struggles.
Having overcome those and still lost is not something anyone can laugh at.
Depending on the outcome, the view you see will be different, and even if you don’t win, there’s surely something to be gained.

If you don’t fail, you won’t succeed.Coco Chanel
It’s almost impossible to succeed without any failures.
Coco Chanel herself, the founder of Chanel, surely went through many failures to build such a monumental brand.
That’s precisely why these words carry the power to help us face forward again, even after we fail.
It’s often because we experience failure that the results we eventually achieve as success become richer, and can later be applied in many different ways.
Don’t be afraid of failure—keep taking on new challenges!
Don’t hesitate to be happy.John Lennon
John Lennon, a member of the world-famous rock band The Beatles, left these words about happiness.
When faced with happiness, some people may inexplicably feel fear, vague anxiety, or even a sense of guilt.
But happiness is something we can accept just as it is, honestly and openly.
As the saying goes, “People are born to be happy.” Whether it’s great happiness or small, when happiness is right in front of you, don’t be afraid—dive in wholeheartedly.
People stumble their way toward success.Mary Kay Ash
As you walk toward your goals, you’re bound to stumble sometimes.
But there’s no need to feel discouraged! Stumbling means you are truly moving forward toward success.
Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics—known for creating many high-quality beauty products—left words that empower those pursuing their dreams.
If you do nothing, you’ll never stumble.
But then you’ll never achieve any goals, either.
No matter how many times you fall, keep thinking positively: each stumble is an important step toward success.
Keep moving forward!
Beyond the clouds, the sky is always blue.Louisa May Alcott
A story about airplane takeoff.
Every time we leave the rain-soaked ground and burst through the thick clouds, I’m struck by the blue sky that appears.
I’m sure you’ve had that experience too.
When I came across Alcott’s words, this scene immediately came to mind.
In everyday life, there are so many situations where, even when someone tells you “There’s no point in worrying,” you still feel anxious, thinking, “Is it really going to stay like this…?” But that’s exactly when you should remember her words—because beyond those worries, there is surely a beautiful, clear sky waiting for you! By the way, Alcott is the author of the world-renowned classic Little Women.
