    We quickly forget what we don’t see before our eyes. That may be why the history of wars and violence seems to repeat itself again and again.

    We are all born with different cards in our hands and raised under various conditions. For most of us, we have received a tremendous number of gifts! These may come in the form of being born in a peaceful, wealthy country, or being raised by parents who did their best despite their flaws. It can…

    Just as the brain needs failure to grow, it also needs to overcome adversity in order to learn. If there is no obstacle, why progress?

    With age, we slowly begin to lose muscle mass naturally. And in many sedentary countries, desk work doesn’t help make up for this loss.

    Have you noticed how young children ask so many questions about everything new they discover, hear, or see? This curiosity and fascination with the world is a gift that should be nurtured as much as possible. Why?

    If the debate between nature and nurture has endured through the ages, looking at it from the perspective of brain development makes it clear that nurture plays a significant role in shaping who a person becomes as an adult.

    Guided by the 7 Shapes, the Espers realized that their StarDust was the result of the teachings shared by all of them. One of the important things they also understood was that, no matter what they tried to do, the will to do it was extremely important. The funny thing is, in order to learn,…

    We tend to reproduce what we see, and we tend to want what we are shown. This sounds obvious, but it’s precisely why marketing works so well: the more you are presented with a product, the more unconsciously familiar it becomes—and eventually, you’ll want it for yourself.

    On Esperia, the laws of physics were very different from those we know on Earth. This allowed the Espers to use magical powers. But they were also deeply aware of the land they lived in, and the natural presence of the 7 Shapes always reminded them that they needed to live in balance with the…

    For any human being reading these lines, you have been given a life ticket—one you couldn’t refuse. You own this ticket, and you alone. How you choose to use it is entirely up to you. The kind of ticket you received may seem quite random: you may have been born into a wealthy family in…
