-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make our final discussion meeting of this year
a wonderful conclusion to a most successful and victorious year.
In the course of the meeting, let's make sure to give a big round of
applause to the members who have so kindly offered their homes for meetings and activities throughout the year.
At the same time, make sure to extend that respect and appreciation to their family members,
and act sensibly and considerately towards their neighbours.
Together, let's make a fresh and vibrant start towards the new year!

"Myo means to revive, that is, to return to life."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Learning enables us to empower and educate ourselves. Through studying we can gain the wisdom and ability to help many people. This is in accord with the words of Jeme Tien Yow (Zhan Tianyou; 1861-1919), the father of China's railroads,... He said that a mirror is made bright by polishing, and steel is strengthened by tempering."
