In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.Albert Einstein

In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity. Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, a theoretical physicist hailed as the greatest of the 20th century, left behind numerous achievements.

The famous quote, “In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity,” is a message that perhaps only Einstein—who fundamentally transformed the way physics was understood at the time—could deliver.

Avoiding difficulty isn’t inherently bad, but when avoidance leads to stagnation, choosing to confront challenges can reveal things we couldn’t see before.

This quote teaches us that precisely in the places everyone tends to avoid lies the chance to reach what no one else has achieved.

Only by living desperately does one’s life shine. — Oda Nobunaga

Lord Oda Nobunaga, a warlord counted among the Three Unifiers of the Sengoku period for his innovative political methods.

From his famous saying, “It is only by living desperately that one’s life shines,” we can truly sense the very essence of Oda Nobunaga’s life.

Not only should we act energetically with dreams and goals, but it is by throwing ourselves wholeheartedly into the act of living itself that our lives gain profound meaning.

This message teaches us that such a way of living becomes the proof that we truly lived and allows us to create a life uniquely our own, unlike anyone else’s.

If you do it next time, you’ll definitely win.Shinji Ishimaru

If you do it next time, you’ll definitely win. Shinji Ishimaru

These are the words Ishimaru Shinji delivered when he ran for Tokyo governor and, regrettably, finished second, speaking about his outlook going forward.

Taken just as the situation and the words themselves, it could come across as sour grapes, but when you consider what kind of campaign it was, you can sense various intentions.

A key point is the situation in which something initially considered to be at a disadvantage spread this far, and it also gives the impression of containing a rebuke of how the media covered the candidates.

With name recognition higher and his ideas more widely shared, it invites viewers to imagine what the outcome might have been if he had started from where things are now.

By referring to what comes next, it conveys a forward-looking attitude and builds expectations as well.

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

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.

People are often swayed by profit and personal gain. But isn’t it also true that at times we’re driven by our convictions?Shuji Satomi

Isn’t this a quote that fully reflects Shuji Satomi’s sincerity? Regardless of the era, people repeatedly make choices and trade-offs to live, deciding what’s best for themselves.

In reality, there are many situations where, even knowing others may be disadvantaged, we still prioritize gains and losses.

However, even if there’s a chance it could be a negative for oneself, there are things we simply cannot compromise on—that’s part of being human.

This quote makes us reflect on what our own convictions truly are.

If we were just one minute earlier, we could save one more person.Calvin Coolidge

If we were just one minute earlier, we could save one more person. Calvin Coolidge

Let me introduce a powerful quote from Calvin Coolidge: “If you are one minute early, you can save one more person.” Calvin Coolidge was an American politician who also served as President.

This saying—“If you are one minute early, you can save one more person”—was apparently an American firefighting slogan that was introduced to Japan when the American Red Cross used it in 1923 (Taisho 12) to appeal for aid following the Great Kanto Earthquake.

These powerful words that crossed the ocean truly strike a chord, don’t they?

Natural disasters strike when we least expect them.Torahiko Terada

Natural disasters strike when we least expect them. Terada Torahiko

Here is a famous and important saying by Torahiko Terada: “Natural disasters strike when they have been forgotten.” Terada was a Japanese physicist, essayist, and haiku poet.

As a researcher, he was interested in disasters such as fires and earthquakes, and it is said that after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, he became even more deeply engaged with the subject.

This quote reminds us that the peaceful passing of everyday life without incident is not something to be taken for granted.

It is a phrase worth engraving in our hearts.
