-- TO MY FRIENDS --
First and foremost,
let's make every effort to talk with others,
as enthusiastically as we can.
Let's talk about our beliefs to others cheerfully
and confidently.
And from there, let's create great waves of expansion and development
and spread our solidarity far and wide!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Not once have I thought of retreat."

Vol.2, page 465) Selection source: Buddhist study, Seikyo

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As John Dewey once wrote: 'Success means succeeding, getting forward,
moving in advance. It is an active process, not a passive outcome.' This is
identical to the spirit of the SGI. Though one may seem to have attained
success for the moment, one will start to regress the instant one becomes
careless and ceases making effort, beginning a slide towards defeat. As we
all know, not advancing is retreating. Those who are continually pressing
ahead are genuinely successful. Success, victory, and happiness are all to
be found in moving forwards. Let's keep advancing with firm determination.
