No matter what happens, let’s make sure we never say the word “painful.”Shinsaku Takasugi
Shinsaku Takasugi was a samurai who was active at the end of the Edo period as a proponent of the Sonnō Jōi movement and is also known for founding groups like the Kiheitai.
His famous quote, “No matter what happens, let’s never say the word ‘painful’,” is a message that could only come from someone who lived through such tumultuous times.
When you’re striving toward an enormous goal, it’s natural to face hardships and suffering.
But once you put that into words, doesn’t it make the burden feel even heavier? It’s a quintessentially Japanese maxim that values endurance as a virtue and cherishes the power of words.
Even if you’re knocked down 99 times, all you need is to stand up the 100th time.Vincent van Gogh
If you’re pursuing your goals and dreams, you’ll probably fail many times.
When you fail, you can lose confidence and think, “It’s impossible for me.
I should just quit.” At times like that, remember this quote from Van Gogh: “If you fall down 99 times, get up the 100th.” With that attitude, you can overcome any failure.
They say failure is the mother of success and essential for growth, so don’t be afraid to fail—keep challenging yourself.
I always do what I can’t do yet, in order to learn how to do it.Vincent van Gogh
Here’s a great quote for anyone who wants to take on a challenge but feels unsure if they can do it.
Van Gogh’s works changed in style over the years, and as this quote suggests, he experimented and tried many different things.
Rather than feeling ashamed of what you can’t do, people who keep taking on new challenges broaden their perspective and tend to grow faster.
Along the way, you may discover something only you can do.
When you want to try but can’t quite take the first step, hold this quote close and take the plunge.
In conclusion
This time, I introduced words that can motivate you just by listening—what did you think? Each one is a gem of a quote that gives you the motivation to keep going.
Many of them serve as principles for continuing your efforts, so if any of them resonated with you, I recommend jotting them down!
