「自分の(じぶんの)人生は(じんせいは)自分の(じぶんの)学び(まなび)で切り開く(きりひらく)」という力強い(ちからづよい)教え

The teachings of 'An Encouragement of Learning' gave an explosive shock to the youth of Meiji, who had just been released from the feudal class system of the Edo period, and laid the foundation for a new Japan. Even ten thousand days later (even today), Fukuzawa Yukichi's powerful message, 'Carve out your own life through your own learning,' continues to encourage the hearts of all Japanese people who challenge themselves.
