学問の柱
No one who has accomplished great work has done so without engaging in the discipline of reading books in solitude, training oneself, continuing to think, and refining the mind. (excerpt omitted) Therefore, if one continues to cultivate oneself with an aspiration that always seeks upward progress, one will continue to advance.

“Look to Your Own Feet”
(Kyakka-shōko)
成長と体験
Only through the accumulation of small daily disciplines and the ongoing inquiry into who one truly is can a person eventually seize the right time, catch the right wind, and take flight. (excerpt omitted) Do not blame others or your environment; first consider what you yourself can do, and begin with what you are able to change within yourself. (excerpt omitted) I would like to say that in order to illuminate the boundless world, you must first look to your own feet.

At first, I was worried that I might feel out of place because of the age differences among students at HSU. However, those concerns gradually disappeared. There are students ranging from their twenties to their seventies, and I enjoy talking with people from many different generations. Every day has been enjoyable and fulfilling.

“Shine Brightly”
無限の使命をにないつくして
You must be endlessly creative and endlessly productive. And this must not end in mere dreaming. I hope that people will emerge who develop their creativity without limit, translate that creative spirit into reality, and continue to think about what they can bring into existence. (excerpt omitted) In short, I would say: if you cannot contribute to the civilization of the future, then there is no meaning in your graduation. The future shines endlessly, and I have high expectations for your future endeavors.

Voices from Our Graduates
At HSU, I had many opportunities to develop my English skills, but the most valuable was learning coaching skills. Coaching is a communication method that helps people discover their own answers by asking thoughtful questions and exploring solutions together. Practicing these skills in class has been incredibly helpful when mentoring younger colleagues. It has also made it easier for me to find ways to overcome my own challenges.

“The Steps Toward Virtue”
正しき心の探究
When your feeling that “the world should become a better place” grows stronger, that itself is in fact a sign of your own personal growth. (excerpt omitted) In the end, it does not matter where you studied. What matters is what you have become. That is the real measure. Therefore, it does not matter which school you came from. What counts are the results you have achieved, and whether your way of life has been recognized by many people, influenced others, and inspired them. If you can live such a life, I believe your life can be considered successful.
