There are people who live long but live short, and there are people who live short but live long.
Some people waste their share of time, while others live the time of five or six people.
Even though the amount of time given in a day is the same, it is up to each person to choose what and how much to put into that day.
Long or short life is up to heaven, but long or short life is up to human choice.

If you think about it, there are countless invisible stone walls surrounding us.
Small fears and rash despairs piled up one by one, forming a huge stone wall.
Can I do it? No, it's impossible.
They say that when stones of fear and despair start to pile up, they soon become a huge stone wall.
But eventually, someone appears who can climb over that stone wall.
And then a new story that never existed before is created.

They say a really ingenious idea came out of the meeting of the gods.
It's like planting a seed in a human's day.
Like a lucky sticker in a bag of chips? That's right.
Everyone lives day to day.
But in that day, there is a seed of miracle.
But how do you find the seeds? You can't see them.
I was really curious about that too.
The Thank You Lady smiled and took a sip of her coffee.
Then he said thank you as if he had just had the most delicious coffee in the world and continued talking.
Maybe it's in the aroma of the coffee you just had.
Maybe it's in a song I heard earlier.
Every moment you walk, breathe, and live, there is a seed of miracle somewhere within you.
So every moment is precious.
So that's why you keep saying thank you, thank you.
You can't just say thank you all day long.
So, I developed a habit of saying "thank you" whenever I encountered a meaningful moment, a moment of utmost happiness.

It's okay to fall.
It's okay to cry.
Falling is natural.
But are you just going to sit there like that? Are you afraid you'll fall again? No, you'll get back up.
They say the only thing stronger than the person who never falls is the person who gets up every time he falls.

Grandpa patted the robot on the back and said.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
If it's empty, leave it empty.
Even that empty space can be useful.
If you feel regretful, just let it be.
They say that being full doesn't necessarily mean you're satisfied.
The opposite of perfect isn't useless.
The opposite of perfect is leisurely.
When you feel like something is missing or lacking, think about it this way.
It's not that it's lacking, it's that it was left empty on purpose.
It is said that filling something is desire, but leaving it empty on purpose is wisdom.
