I have not failed. I’ve only found 10,000 ways that don’t work.Thomas Edison

"I have never failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." — Thomas Edison #greatpeople #trivia #quotes

Thomas Edison, who bore many nicknames including the “Wizard of Menlo Park,” created technologies that have endured for generations.

This quote, from a great inventor who left an indelible mark on world history, expresses his attitude toward confronting failure.

It conveys the importance of continuing to take on challenges: treating failure as a learning opportunity—a case of what doesn’t work—and then persisting in trying again, which ultimately leads to results.

Even when you fail, don’t give up; keep going until you achieve an outcome—these words convey a powerful will.

There’s nothing other people can do that you can’t.Doraemon (Doraemon)

When you’re struggling with something, it’s hard to stay positive, isn’t it? You might even think, “Everyone else can do it, but I can’t.” At times like that, I recommend the words of Doraemon from the anime Doraemon.

His famous line, “There’s nothing that other people can do that you alone can’t,” gives us a perspective that helps us view things from a different angle.

The people around you may not have been able to do it right away, either.

Maybe those who can do it have spent some time practicing or learning.

It might not be about talent at all—just a small difference in effort that creates the gap between can and can’t.

It’s okay. Let’s rebuild again.Akio Tadano

These are the words of Akio Tadano, who ran a ryokan in Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture—words about moving forward with a positive spirit even in the face of hardship.

At the time, many interviews carried a heavy sense of gloom and featured questions that stoked anxiety, which is why the fact that he delivered these words with a smile drew so much attention.

They convey a powerful hope amid uncertainty—the sense that by keeping on and not standing still, a new path will open.

The impression is further strengthened by the fact that Mr.

Tadano actually rebuilt his ryokan, embodying the importance of facing forward, just as he said.

Walls only appear to those who are capable. They only come to those who have the potential to overcome them. That’s why I see walls as opportunities when they appear.Ichiro

In daily life, there are times when we run into walls.

In fact, walls only appear to those who are challenging themselves and making an effort.

There’s a quote that shows how to overcome them: “Walls only come to those who can do it; they only come to those who have the potential to overcome them.

That’s why, when there’s a wall, I see it as a chance.” These are the words of Ichiro Suzuki.

Doesn’t simply hearing that walls come only to those who have the potential to overcome them make you feel like giving it a try? Put another way, walls appear to people who have goals and the desire to grow.

By getting to the root of the wall, and changing your actions or mindset, you may be able to improve.

And beyond the wall, a different view is surely waiting.

It’s alright. If there’s an end, there will be a beginning again someday.Tamori

Tamori, who has been active on the front lines of television for many years, has influenced many people with his humorous ideas and life philosophy.

His words teach us the importance of facing endings and change with a positive mindset.

No hardship lasts forever, and by viewing an ending as a preparation period for a new beginning, we can find more ease in our hearts.

When we experience turning points or setbacks in life, the awareness that “this state will end someday” helps ease our anxiety.

These are words of wisdom from a versatile figure that gently lighten the heart.

Respect me as a human being, even though I don’t have any achievements yet.Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher known for the phrase “God is dead,” left behind numerous achievements and memorable quotes.

This is one of his famous sayings, and it is followed by the idea that “if you respect yourself, you won’t be able to do bad things; you won’t engage in actions that would make you contemptible as a human being.” These words are striking, aren’t they? It means directing the feeling of “This person is admirable; there’s no way they would do such a thing” toward yourself.

It may be difficult, but if you can respect yourself, a variety of possibilities open up, and you’ll likely be able to move forward with strength along the path you’ve chosen.

Talent is something you make bloom — sense is something you polish!!!Toru Oikawa (Haikyu!!)

We’d like to introduce Tooru Oikawa’s famous quote from the anime Haikyu!!: “Talent is something you make blossom—sense is something you polish!!!” Even someone like him, a skilled volleyball player who seems full of confidence, may have had days when he felt disheartened compared to those around him.

But by persevering and putting in the work, didn’t he make his own talent bloom with his own hands? And perhaps he realized that the innate sense he had was something he had to refine himself.

If you’re feeling inferior because you compare yourself to others, remember: those who seem capable may be standing on the foundation of steady effort, too.
