-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In the midst of some of the greatest challenges in our life,
let's live out our lives with the strong resolve to battle on
and to advance, no matter what.
Let's develop the type of ability in ourselves that cannot
be carried away or destroyed by anything.
This is the very best way to live a true life.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The great champion of Indian independence Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) said:
'Your noble aspirations will assuredly be fulfilled. One who strives for
good aims never strives in vain.' With a powerful resolve, we can open the
way to realising our dreams. Moreover, we have the power of prayer. We can
definitely succeed."
