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.

It wasn’t by chance that we made it back alive. This is our mission.Sandwich Man

These are words from Sandwichman, a comedy duo from Sendai, that express a determination to keep moving forward.

The key point is that at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, they happened to be in Kesennuma, Miyagi—one of the disaster areas—while filming a TV show.

They convey what it means that they survived: being alive in that place was both fate and a mission, and they believe they are called to walk forward and pass on the story to the future.

You can feel their love for their hometown and their resolve to carry it on their shoulders as they move ahead.

Blow away your worries and doubts! Short phrases that lift your spirits and make you feel positive (31–40)

In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.Albert Einstein

In the midst of difficulty, there is opportunity. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. #Shorts #Einstein #AlbertEinstein #Quotes

In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity. Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, a German socialist who proposed the theories of special and general relativity and is often hailed as the greatest physicist of the 20th century.

His famous saying, “In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity,” seems to teach us that there are no chances to be found on smooth and easy paths.

It’s precisely when we face obstacles and hardships—and decide to overcome or solve them—that we encounter ways of thinking and methods we hadn’t considered before.

This idea resonates with Einstein’s own life, from an unknown patent clerk to a figure celebrated as a great person.

It’s a quote worth keeping in mind throughout life and makes an excellent personal motto.

He was a singular genius who authored numerous papers that can be considered the foundation of modern science.

The words introduced here reflect his motto-like approach to research: “What seems unsolvable is precisely what is worth challenging.” Following in the footsteps of Einstein, who achieved so much, why not take on challenges yourselves?

Hope is the faith that leads us to success.Madame Curie

[Marie Curie] Hope is the faith that leads us to success.

Hope is the faith that leads us to success. — Madame Curie

Let me introduce a quote by the Polish physicist and scientist Maria Skłodowska-Curie: “Hope is the faith that leads us to success.” In Japan, she is well known as Madame Curie.

When you are striving toward your dreams and goals, accidents or failures can sometimes make you stop in your tracks.

It’s precisely at such times that we should remember the hope Madame Curie speaks of.

That’s because hope is the core within us that enables us to keep moving forward even in difficult situations.

It also serves as the driving force to realize our dreams and achieve our goals.

When things aren’t going as you wish, why not take another look at your hope?

If you can take one step, you can take another.Todd Skinner

Great quotes by Todd Skinner

If you can take one step, you can take another. — Todd Skinner

When you try to start something, it’s often hard to take that very first step.

But once you do, things can surprisingly start to go smoothly.

Even so, many people find it difficult to take that first step, even though they understand this in their heads.

In such moments, I want you to remember these words—from Todd Skinner, an American free climber.

He climbed countless cliffs in the extremely demanding world of free climbing.

Surely, even in moments of fear, he told himself “Just take the first step,” and with that initial move, he scaled sheer faces hundreds of meters high.

Even after his passing, he continues to wield significant influence in the business world.

The phrase “Create your own place” is said to be something he spoke after being fired from Apple once.
