Knowing this will surely make you feel positive! Beautiful, heart-touching words

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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

It’s the everyday that makes up a true life. Ordinary days swept along by miscellaneous tasks. Spending our days without enjoying that “normal” time—worse yet, holding back from enjoyment. What a waste. Each day is a wonderful gift.Christine Lewicki

Many people may find themselves bored with ordinary days in which nothing big ever happens, sometimes even grumbling about it.

But it is precisely those unremarkable, everyday moments that we should cherish.

That’s what Christine Lewicki—who thrives as a mompreneur and consults entrepreneurs around the world—reminds us.

She herself must be busy and caught up in daily chores, yet perhaps it was in some fleeting moment of everyday life that these words slipped out.

If you feel that every day isn’t fun, that it’s full of unpleasant things, try looking for the small, unassuming joys hidden in the everyday right before your eyes.

Marriage is a long conversation. —Friedrich Nietzsche

In a long marriage, the way couples communicate naturally changes, and those shifts can sometimes lead to misunderstandings and even trouble.

Here is a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche that reminds us how important communication is for maintaining a healthy relationship.

It tells us that what truly matters is taking the time to communicate carefully and keep the conversation going over the long term, deepening mutual understanding.

Remembering this when conflicts or misunderstandings start to increase may help provide a spark to revive the relationship.

If you keep looking down, you won’t be able to find a rainbow.NEW!Sir Charles Spencer “Charlie” Chaplin

When we’re feeling down, we tend to look down…

This is a famous quote by Chaplin that I’d like you to remember at such times.

Rainbows are said to be a sign of good luck, and seeing one makes you feel fortunate, doesn’t it? In this quote, he encourages us to keep looking forward while reminding us not to miss the rainbow.

Rather than a blunt “Do your best,” it resonates precisely because it uses a gentle, indirect expression—“missing the rainbow.” It’s a quote that feels like someone quietly sitting beside you in support.

I’m short and chubby, but I’m proud of it.Winnie the Pooh

When it comes to insecurities about our appearance, people tend to think about them only in a negative way.

However, Pooh says that his own looks—which could be seen as a complex—are something he’s proud of.

In fact, Pooh’s small, round figure is a charming feature loved all around the world.

He shows us that the parts we dislike as “complexes” can become charming points if we change our perspective.

Inspired by his words, it might be a good idea to deliberately polish the parts you consider your insecurities and turn them into points of pride that truly shine!

If you worry about what you don’t have, you’ll waste what you do have.Ken Keyes Jr.

People tend to focus on what they can’t do.

And it’s natural to feel envious of those who seem more talented.

But the same is true for others as well.

Everyone has their own individuality, with strengths and weaknesses.

People are people, and you are you.

You, too, surely have wonderful talents and value that others would envy.

Instead of fixating on what you lack, why not turn your attention to what you have? You’ll likely discover something new.
