Into the book
Waiting for a perfect state of preparation from start to finish can actually be an excuse to postpone making a choice.
Even the most successful people we know made uncertain choices at first.
The important thing when starting something is not making the perfect choice, but making my choice into a good outcome.
--- p.35
When deciding on a career path, the most important thing is your own heart, but you should also listen to the opinions of those around you who know you well.
At this time, conversations with my parents, who have watched me closely for a long time, are especially important.
Rather than simply accepting your parents' different professional values negatively, you should empathize with their position and try to find an alternative.
--- p.73
To regain confidence and grow, you need to form relationships that accept you as you are.
Because in such a relationship, you can protect and develop your true value.
Let's spend more time with people who support and cheer us on in our dreams.
I can gain strength to move forward by talking to my family, teachers, and friends who understand me.
It's also helpful to share your experiences with people who have similar dreams through online communities.
--- p.131
It takes effort to focus on 'what I can do now'.
Rather than worrying about and preparing for the distant future, such as one year or ten years from now, it is better to focus on living each day to the fullest.
You will realize that the todays you have accumulated will come together to create tomorrow, and will also create the you of 10 years from now.
--- p.186
Just because a goal is preferred by most people doesn't mean I have to pursue it.
It's important to remember that there are no set answers or speeds in life, and to respect the path and pace you want to take, one step at a time.
Just because others are running fast doesn't mean I have to run fast too.
In that case, you end up missing out on a lot.
--- p.267
The development of the Internet has made it possible for us to easily access a wealth of information from anywhere, but if users do not use this tool wisely, it can actually be detrimental.
This is because when you are constantly exposed to a large amount of information and fake news, you can easily be deceived by rumors.
So we need to develop the ability to discern real information.
