-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us feel happy and positive about wanting to challenge
our weaknesses and shortcomings!
When we break through the walls of our own limitations
our lives as well as the society in which we live in
will undergo a dramatic transformation!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
People tend to compare themselves to others. Of course, it is important to try to learn from others' good traits. But it's petty to envy what appears to be their happiness and good fortune. Nothing comes of that. Those who focus on polishing themselves and living with a sense of purpose are the victors in life. Please engrave this point deeply in your heart.
