Blow away your anxieties and doubts! Short phrases that lift your spirits (21–30)
The problem lies in the future. That’s why I don’t look back at the past.Bill Gates
Bill Gates, one of Microsoft’s founders and a well-known American entrepreneur.
This quote that places importance on the future comes from a successful person—him.
People often look back on the past, don’t they? It’s fine to revisit good memories.
But if what you’re looking back on is past failures or mistakes, you might get stuck there.
What lies ahead of you isn’t the past—it’s the future.
Let the past be refined into experience and lessons, and live while imagining a bright future.
Be true to the dreams of your youth.Friedrich von Schiller
What did you want to be when you were a child? A firefighter, a police officer, a baker, a candy shop owner…
You probably had all sorts of dreams.
But as we grow up and spend our days simply working through tasks, we begin to forget what we wanted to do and who we wanted to become.
In such times, remember the words of Friedrich von Schiller.
In those days when you were purely pursuing something…
your dream may still be there.
Walk, walk—the importance of keeping going.Tadataka Ino
Ino Tadataka was a great figure who spent about 17 years surveying the entire country during the Edo period and completed a map of Japan that is nearly identical to modern ones.
Having achieved success as a merchant, Ino became deeply engaged in calendrical studies, astronomy, and geography around the age of fifty.
At fifty-six, under orders from the shogunate, he embarked on the path of creating a map of Japan.
Needless to say, there were no modern, convenient surveying instruments.
He could not have clearly seen the goal—how vast Japan truly was, or whether there would be an end to completing the map.
Even in such circumstances, his strong will, vitality, and energy to keep walking no matter what come through vividly in his words.
Worrying is a waste of time. Worry gets in the way when I try to solve problems.
This is a famous quote that conveys Donald Trump’s drive to take action, emphasizing that it’s more important to act first than to spend time on needless worries.
It also expresses his own stance of constantly working toward solving problems, saying that for someone like him, worrying is a waste of time.
While worry can serve as preparation, there’s also a chance the feared problem won’t happen at all—so taking action should come first.
It’s a message that encourages those who hesitate to act, urging them to focus on action over worry in order to achieve greater results.
Why not give it a try? Do you have anything to lose?
When we hesitate to do something, isn’t it often because of the possibility of failure or risk? No one likes to fail, and we can’t know whether our lives will change for better or for worse in a new world.
But think about it for a moment: Do you really want to spend your days unchanging in a stable world just because you’re afraid of failure and risk? This quote asks us that question and teaches us that sometimes we need to take risks.
By continuing to take on challenges without fearing risk or failure, we may find success.
You have to change your own world yourself.Shinichi Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile)
There may be days when, looking at those around you, you think, “I’m such a hopeless person.” You slump your shoulders and feel fed up with making an effort or even trying at all.
But in the end, the only one who can change you is yourself.
Shinichi Chiaki from the anime Nodame Cantabile, who aims to be a conductor while carrying a certain trauma, also declared, “If I don’t change my own world, no one will.” Envying others won’t change your situation.
To change, effort is necessary.
And if you’ve made even a little more effort and grown a bit compared to yesterday, that alone is enough.
In truth, it might not matter what others are doing; as long as you’ve achieved growth that you can accept and your own world has changed, that may be all you need.
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.
