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.

You can just be yourself.Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa: "You just need to be yourself" #shorts #GreatFigures #MotherTeresa

You can just be yourself. — Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa, who stood by the poor and the lonely and continued to pour out unconditional love.

She devoted her life to protecting human dignity.

In these words lies the most important message for our modern world, where we so easily lose sight of human worth.

When you feel pained by comparisons with others, or when you find yourself trying too hard to become someone else, they remind you that you are enough just as you are.

Gently acknowledging who you are now, without denying yourself, becomes a source of strength for living.

It is a tender saying that loosens the heart and brings a sense of peace.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.Walt Disney

Walt Disney, famous as the creator of the beloved character Mickey Mouse.

Here, we introduce some of his quotes.

Walt Disney also left the words, “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse.” He believed that it’s important for anyone to have a dream, and that those who strive toward their dreams can make them come true.

Rather than “dreams simply come true,” it can be understood as “dreams come true if you don’t forget them.” It’s a line to keep in your heart when you want to keep holding on to your dreams.

Don’t hesitate to be happy.John Lennon

These are famous words left by John Lennon, who served as the Beatles’ vocalist and guitarist.

Among his many quotes, there are quite a few in which he emphasizes valuing being yourself and living by doing what you want, and this one is a lovely saying that resonates with those ideas.

I imagine many people have felt as if their hearts were saved by the message: “It’s your life, so you don’t need to hold back for anyone—just do your best to be happy.”

The most enjoyable part is the time before anything actually comes to fruition.George Eliot

George Eliot, the British author known for works such as Adam Bede, Silas Marner, and Middlemarch.

Despite the masculine pen name, her real name was Mary Ann Evans, and she was a woman.

I think the meaning of this saying is something everyone can understand: while pursuing a goal can be painful at times, once it’s over, we often feel a sense of loneliness.

Perhaps the times when we pour our passion into something are when we experience our greatest happiness.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.Charles Dederich

Charles Dederich was the founder of Synanon, an organization in the United States dedicated to helping people with drug addiction.

When you suddenly stop and wonder, “How much time do I have left in my life?”, you may start to feel anxious as all the things you haven’t done come to mind.

Hearing these words at such a moment might help you feel a little more positive.

It’s obvious if you think about it, but when it’s put into words like this, it stirs up the energy to start something new: “If there’s something I want to do, I need to start now!” “If I start now, I feel like I can do it!”
