Sweat you shed never liesNEW!Chiyonofuji Mitsugu
Chiyonofuji’s famous quote: “The sweat you shed never lies.” #GreatFigure #Yokozuna #shorts #SumoWorld #All-TimeRecordHolder #Sumo #58th #Rikishi #Chiyonofuji #Quote
When does sweat run down our bodies? You might break out in a sweat due to changes in temperature or from fear, but if we’re talking about a sumo wrestler’s sweat, it’s surely the sweat shed during training.
Sumo is a world of competition—matches are often decided in an instant.
To rise to that decisive moment and demonstrate their true worth, wrestlers must train not only their bodies but also their minds to the utmost.
Chiyonofuji’s famous quote seems to say that tireless effort becomes one’s confidence and can, in turn, become the certainty of victory.
The mental strength to endure—to dig in with “One more step!” the very moment you think “I can’t go on”—cultivates an unbeatable power to overcome anything.NEW!Taihō Kōki
In the world of competition, you either win or lose.
In sumo, that contest can be over in an instant.
In such moments, there are times when you feel it’s all over.
But through this famous quote, Taiho teaches us that what matters is what comes next.
If you can take just one more step when you think you can’t, if you can endure, the moment that leads to victory may arrive.
A strong heart that never gives up, no matter the circumstances, is the key to drawing victory closer.
It’s a quote to remember especially when you’re in a do-or-die, on-the-edge situation.
Neither you nor the organization will grow unless you take risks and challenge yourself.NEW!
Ask Shun Otokita: “Aren’t you afraid to take on ‘old politics’?” #NipponIshin #BreakOldPolitics #Shorts #HouseOfRepresentativesElection
These words teach us the importance of having the courage to take action.
If we only make safe choices, we remain in the status quo and no new discoveries or improvements will emerge.
For example, trying out a new policy or starting a new initiative at a company carries the possibility of failure, but if it succeeds, it can lead to significant results.
Neither individuals nor organizations can grow without taking on challenges and not fearing risk.
Challenges may be frightening, but the message is that if we don’t take them on, nothing will change and the future will not open up.
I believe that the true turning point for growth is whether you can keep moving forward step by step—without anxiety, without fear, and without hesitation—especially when you’re not seeing results.NEW!Yoshiharu Habu
These are words from the shogi player Yoshiharu Habu.
It’s frustrating when you’re working hard but not seeing results, isn’t it? You start to feel like you’re in the dark and lose sight of what to do.
But it’s precisely at times like these that you should keep steadily building your efforts, one step at a time.
Rushing ahead blindly out of impatience won’t lead to good outcomes.
Stay calm and keep moving forward, even little by little, along the path you believe in.
That very experience and strength will help you grow yet another step.
Unless the whole world becomes happy, individual happiness is impossible.NEW!Kenji Miyazawa
These are words by Kenji Miyazawa, the poet and writer of children’s stories famous for the poem “Be Not Defeated by the Rain.” Kenji Miyazawa is also known for works such as Night on the Galactic Railroad, The Restaurant of Many Orders, and Matasaburo of the Wind.
All humans live by supporting one another.
Even if we feel as though we live on our own, it’s hard to completely separate ourselves from others.
In other words, unless those around us are happy and the entire world becomes happy, our own happiness cannot truly exist.
Not only do we want our own happiness, but we also want the people around us and people across the world to be happy—these are words to keep close to heart.
It is the heart that makes a world without amusements into an interesting one.NEW!Shinsaku Takasugi
“Make an unamusing world amusing”…
It is said that Shinsaku Takasugi composed only this upper line.
Shinsaku Takasugi was a feudal retainer of the Choshu domain at the end of the Edo period and is known as the founder of the Kiheitai militia.
He fell ill before fulfilling his ambitions, and this is the verse he composed at that time.
The lower line, “It is the heart that makes a place livable,” is said to have been composed by Nomura Botoni, who was nursing him.
Takasugi wrote that whether one lives amusingly in a world that is, by nature, not amusing depends on one’s state of mind, while Nomura Botoni answered that whether the world feels unamusing or not also depends on one’s own feelings.
It’s a verse through which you can enjoy the differing values of Shinsaku Takasugi and Nomura Botoni.
Walls (obstacles) only appear to those who are capable.Ichiro
When there’s a wall, it’s a chance. ✨😁 #Ichiro #quote #shorts
Ichiro, the former professional baseball player who holds a Guinness World Record and now serves as a special assistant to the chairman and instructor for the Seattle Mariners, is known for the quote: “Walls only come to those who can overcome them.” He continues, “They only appear to people who have the potential to get past them.
That’s why, when I face a wall, I see it as a chance.” Indeed, it’s precisely because we keep working hard that we often run into obstacles; conversely, those who do nothing encounter nothing.
A wall is proof that you’re moving forward, and this quote encourages us by suggesting that growth awaits once we get over it.
