Ryoma Sakamoto is one of the great figures everyone knows who played an active role in the Meiji Restoration.

When one door is closed, many more are open.Bob Marley

Known as one of the pioneers of reggae, singer-songwriter Bob Marley helped bring Jamaican music to worldwide recognition.

His famous quote, “When one door is closed, many more are open,” teaches the importance of staying calm and looking around especially when we feel cornered.

When the path we want to take is blocked, people tend to cling to forcing their way down that same path.

However, this message reminds us that if we make a conscious effort to see things from a different perspective, we can discover unexpected new possibilities.

Even if we feel down after being criticized, the message that we can return to ourselves gives us the courage to stand up again.

It’s a quote that also inspires a positive feeling that we can grow even larger than before—like a cake—after being beaten.

From the present, the future is born.Voltaire

Mr.

Voltaire, a French historian who is also known as a leading figure of the Enlightenment and wore the hats of philosopher and man of letters.

His famous saying, “The future is born out of the present,” is a message that prompts us to reexamine reality before chasing ideals.

It is a quote worth engraving in our hearts as a guide for life.
