You can just be yourself.Mother Teresa
In the journey of life, we interact with many people, and it’s possible that the influence we have on each other can cause us to lose sight of who we are.
These are words left by Mother Teresa that can prompt us to reflect on what our true self really is.
Without any pretense, being able to stay true to ourselves is what matters most, and she teaches us that the path we walk by trusting that self leads to happiness.
When your heart is weary, recalling these words may help you remember your own way of thinking and lead to a fresh start.
It doesn’t matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.Confucius
The longer we’ve been putting in the time, the more we can’t help but feel anxious about whether our efforts are really paying off.
Here is a saying from Confucius that offers courage to keep moving forward while staying close to that uncertainty about the future.
Above all, what matters most is not to stop walking; even if you move only little by little, it tells us that in the end, that progress will lead to results.
Even when you feel the difference in pace compared to those around you, it may give you the cue to keep advancing in your own way.
There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun
Many of you may know of him because his representative work, “Hometown,” is included in middle school Japanese language textbooks.
This quote is one of the sayings left by the Chinese novelist Lu Xun.
When we fail or are left with regrets, we tend to look back on the past and feel discouraged.
If you remember this quote at such times, it might calm your heart a little.
We cannot change the past, but the future can be changed depending on the effort we make from now on.
Try not to be too caught up in failures or regrets, and keep moving forward.
Even insects come in two kinds—those that like light and those that don’t! Humans are the same; it’s unnatural to expect everyone to be bright all the time!Vincent van Gogh
Isn’t this a quote that could only have come from Van Gogh, who struggled with not fitting in with those around him? To me, these words carry a wish for each person’s individuality to be respected.
Some of you may be suffering because you feel different from others.
In such times, why not recall this quote? I’m sure it will bring you comfort and give you the courage to live as yourself.
First, please acknowledge and accept yourself.
Earthquakes will strike again and again. To prevent severe damage, we will build parks and roads.Shinpei Gotō
I would like to introduce a famous quote left by Shinpei Goto: “Earthquakes will come again and again.
To prevent great damage, we must build parks and roads.” From this saying, one can sense his conviction to protect human life.
Shinpei Goto devoted himself to the reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, making present-day Tokyo a city resilient to disasters.
Immediately after the earthquake, he became Minister of Home Affairs and then Minister for Reconstruction to rebuild Tokyo, which had suffered immense damage.
Along with the quote, he conceived reconstruction measures, but at the time he faced criticism from those around him.
It is said that enormous funds were required to put them into action, and landowners opposed the purchase of tracts that had been reduced to burned-out fields by the quake.
Although his budget was cut, Goto poured his efforts into building a disaster-resilient city.
Thanks to those efforts, Tokyo became stronger against earthquakes than it had been in the past.
If you endure, you will surely become a strong person.Senichi Hoshino
These are the words of Senichi Hoshino, who excelled as a player for the Chunichi Dragons during his career and later made his mark as a manager for the Chunichi Dragons, the Hanshin Tigers, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.
During the Great East Japan Earthquake, he was the manager of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, the team from the disaster-stricken region, and his words are remembered for inspiring many people.
He conveys that no matter what difficulties you face, you should give your all in the present and confront them head-on—that strength lies along the path you advance by doing so.
Because these are the words of Hoshino, who rebuilt teams whose results had faltered, they carry real persuasive power; they are words that lift your spirits and make you want to keep pushing forward.

Just because you failed once doesn’t mean everything is a failure.Marilyn Monroe
Despite an active career of only about ten years, the American actor Marilyn Monroe is still known across generations for her impact.
Her famous quote, “Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re going to fail at everything,” is one we’d like to dedicate to everyone with dreams and goals.
Many people, after experiencing failure, tend to feel deeply discouraged or become so intimidated that they can’t attempt the next challenge.
However, if we can believe that one failure doesn’t decide everything, we can reset our mindset and move forward toward the next attempt.
It’s a message that encourages a positive outlook on life.
