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.

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.

To win, you can only get closer to the best.Sota Fujii

A quote that pierces Sota Fujii’s heart

Sota Fujii’s skill is undeniable, but that doesn’t mean he can win every time.

Not just in shogi—there’s no such thing as a guaranteed victory—and a single bad move can completely change the flow of a game.

To win, it’s about how close you can get to the best possible play… That’s very difficult, but it’s important to bring out the very best within yourself in any situation.

Even if you make mistakes or fail, remember these words, keep fighting without giving up until the end, and seize the victory.

Napoleon slept only three hours a night. There’s no reason I can’t accomplish what he could through effort.Hideyo Noguchi

These words express a strong resolve not to set limits on one’s effort.

Even great figures achieved success through extraordinary, sustained effort, and there is no reason we cannot do the same—this is the determination embedded here.

Of course, not everyone needs to push themselves on short sleep, but when you feel tempted to slack off, recalling this saying will naturally sharpen your focus.

Effort matters more than talent, and you can accumulate as much of it as you choose.

It’s a quote that gives you the power to go beyond your limits.
