WORDS OF WISDOM 3

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seems to be no hope at all.

 

この世で重要な物事のほとんどは、全く希望がないように見えたときでも挑戦し続けた人々によって成し遂げられてきたものだ。  
(この よ で じゅうような ものごと の ほとんど は、まったく きぼう が ないように みえた
ときでも ちょうせん しつづけた ひとびと によって なしとげられて きた もの だ)
