-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make every effort to cherish our neighbours and develop good relations with them.
Let's always try to have cheerful and friendly conversations with everyone.
Through making such efforts, constantly,
even though they may not seem so important,
we will create an enormous wave of trust between each other.

"The only thing to do now is to abandon the evil ways and take up those that are good, to cut off this affliction at the source, to cut it off at the root."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The renowned Irish poet William Butler Yeats (1865-1935) wrote: 'Now shall I make my soul,/ Compelling it to study./ In a learned school.' The waves of life's vicissitudes are rough and the strong winds of praise and criticism blow fiercely. What is the key to surmounting these waves and winds of adversity and create a life
of enduring value? It is continuing to learn and polish ourselves through interaction with others. It is to foster and raise others."
