Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga

Life is not a competition; it is a journey of self-discovery.

To be disliked by others is a necessary condition for the happiness of the self.

True happiness comes from within, not from external validation.

Forgiveness is not about forgetting; it is about letting go of the hurt.

The moment you think of someone else as an enemy, you lose your freedom.

True freedom is the freedom to choose your own path.

The past is not a chain that binds you; it is a lesson that teaches you.

The courage to be disliked is the courage to be yourself.

Your life is your own; live it as you see fit.

Change begins with accepting who you are.
