-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make sure to have clear-cut goals and plans for each day!
Then when we look back on how the day went, we can say to ourselves: "Today
again I won!"
Making steady progress, on a daily basis,
enables us to adorn our lives with remarkable victories!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Be diligent in developing your faith until the last moment of your life.
Otherwise you will have regrets. For example, the journey from Kamakura to
Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day
remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?"

(Letter to Niike - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1027)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The renowned Australian nurse and physical therapist Elizabeth Kenny
(1880-1952), who developed a groundbreaking treatment for the effects of
polio, declared: 'It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your
life.'"
