"他人を責めるのはやめましょう。問題があるなら責任を取りましょう。日を数えるのではなく、日々を大切にしましょう。飢え死にする危険を冒してでも降伏するよりも良いと思います。夢をあきらめたら、何が残りますか。部屋いっぱいの子供たちにおもちゃの箱を与えてからその箱を取り上げると、彼らは創造者がやるのと同じことをするでしょう。彼らは自分のおもちゃと喜びを作り出します。覚えていてください、すべての失敗は方向転換に過ぎません。私たちは自分に偉大になる許可を与えるか、凡庸さに甘んじるかのどちらかです。"
— Jim Carrey
Simplified Meaning:
When you face a problem, it's important to own up to it instead of blaming others. By taking responsibility, you empower yourself to find solutions. Rather than just waiting for things to happen, make the most of each day by doing meaningful things. In life, it's better to take risks for what you believe in than to give up. If you abandon your dreams, life loses its excitement and purpose. Just like children who create their own fun when their toys are taken away, we too can create our own happiness even when circumstances are tough. Every time something doesn’t go as planned, it's just a way to guide you towards a different, often better path. Ultimately, you choose whether to strive for greatness or settle for being average. For example, when Thomas Edison was inventing the light bulb, he failed many times, but he saw each failure as a step closer to success. By not giving up and continuously trying, he eventually succeeded, showing how persistence and taking control can lead to amazing achievements.
