有言実行

#yojijukugo #japanese #accountability

有言実行 (Yūgen Jikkō): Turning words into action by faithfully carrying out what one has promised.

An illustration of the yojijukugo 有言実行 (Yūgen Jikkō) in four panels showing a boy turning a spoken promise into reality. Panel 1, labeled 言う 'say': he raises a fist and declares to his classmates, 今年は英語を話せるようになる！'This year I'll become able to speak English!' Panel 2, labeled 行動する 'take action': he sits at a desk with books, a laptop, and a potted plant, writing in a notebook; a checklist taped to the wall behind him reads 毎日勉強する 'study every day', 英会話の練習 'practice English conversation', 単語を覚える 'memorize vocabulary', and オンラインで話す 'talk online', all checked off. Panel 3, labeled やり続ける 'keep at it': wearing a backpack, he climbs an outdoor staircase under a blue sky, each step labeled with a word for the effort involved — 続ける 'keep going', 工夫する 'find ways to improve', 乗り越える 'overcome obstacles'. Panel 4, labeled 実現する 'make it real': he pumps his fist and grins, holding up a paper reading 'I can speak English!', exclaiming できた！'I did it!' A caption beneath the panels reads: 'Turning promises into reality through consistent action and follow-through.'
