Ambitious / To Improve Oneself
Advance and Progress
上進 is a Chinese and Japanese Kanji word that means to advance, to make progress, to do better, to be ambitious, to improve oneself, or to move forward.
This can refer to a single person, general things (such as a work project), or a whole country.
In Japanese, this is sometimes used as the given name Joushin.
Bajutsu
馬術 (Bajutsu) is a Japanese form of military equestrianism.
Bajutsu involves techniques of swordsmanship, tactical advance, archery, and even the care of horses.
Progress / Ambition
This Chinese and Japanese word means to make progress, to do better, ambition to improve oneself, to move forward, to advance.
This should be romanized as Joushin but is often romanized as Joshin from Japanese. It can also be a given name in Japanese.
Carry On, Undaunted
前赴後繼 is a Chinese proverb that figuratively means “to advance dauntlessly in wave upon wave.”
It suggests that you should or can carry on and have the strength to keep going.
While this proverb is a little bit militaristic, it suggests that despite a fallen comrade (or perhaps a loved one), you should keep going and work towards the goal they intended.
Have a Walking Stick at the Ready Before You Stumble
転ばぬ先の杖 is a Japanese proverb that literally translates as: Have a walking stick ready before stumbling.
This is similar to the English idiom, “A stitch in time saves nine.”
In simple terms, this means: Always being prepared in advance.
Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
