”Ikigai” is considered as a purpose of life sometimes, but I think "Ikigai" and the purpose of life are slightly different. I think "Ikigai" doesn't have an ending. Whereas "the purpose of life" can be broken down into some objectives and have time to achieve step by step. Fulfillment in life can be created by each of these and how you act for these.
Something which motivates you to survive despite desperate hardships

It depends on the student, but I usually use 'Genki' or 'Minna no Nihongo' textbook series. I also use some textbooks printed out in my country, in my native language, to improve my explanations when working with students who have the same native tongue as me (actually, I often work with beginner level students originally from my country). However, I'm very interested in finding some good materials for teaching elementary school children. This is why I will follow this thread closely, hoping to find some inspiration. ^^
