Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major).

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.

People stumble their way toward success.Mary Kay Ash

[Learn English with Quotes] People stumble their way toward success. — Mary Kay Ash

People stumble their way toward success. — Mary Kay Ash

Mary Kay Ash, the entrepreneur known as the founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics in the United States, once said, “People stumble toward success.” This quote teaches us that it’s only natural to stumble precisely because the path is difficult.

If we walk an easy, level road, we can move forward without change or hardship, but it’s hard to keep going the same way on a long and rugged journey.

People tend to feel broken or give up when they stumble, but if we can believe it’s because we’re on the right path, we may find the courage to hold our ground and push forward.

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.

To know life, love many things.Vincent van Gogh

Love comes in many forms.

Saying “I love you” in words, watching over someone in silence, wanting to understand something deeply.

I think the ways we love and the objects of our love differ from person to person.

Yet that feeling is something we are naturally born with as human beings.

So when you want to understand life, why not start by directing your interest and attention to the things around you and trying to love them? As in the words attributed to Van Gogh, by doing so, you may naturally come to see what life is all about.

Humans should stand firm and endure the fate reality gives them. All truth lies hidden there.Vincent van Gogh

Reality can be harsh and cruel at times, can’t it? There are many things we’d rather look away from.

But no one can escape their destiny.

No matter how painful it is, we can only live the life before us.

As Van Gogh said, we may have no choice but to endure the fate of reality.

Yet how you transform that fate is up to you.

By facing everything with sincerity, you might come to see the meaning behind the fate you’ve been given.
