【Japanese Podcast】Small Steps, Big Dreams- 継続は力なり

In 2024, I quit my job after 16 years to pursue my dream. But in 2025, I went back to work—was that a failure? In this episode, I share my honest reflection on 2025 and what my son's daily baseball practice taught me about achieving goals. You'll learn why small, consistent effort beats big ambitions, and gain encouragement for your own Japanese learning journey. 【My Instagram for Japanese Learning】 https://www.instagram.com/yosuke_teac... 【Onikanji】https://onikanji.com/?ref=yosuketeach...
