-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If indeed you are a leader,
then be bold, put your shoulder to the wheel!
Take the initiative, break down those walls,
surmount the obstacles,
and share the great joy of having done so with others.
Be the one that shows the way, that sets the pace.

"You must be firmly resolved. Do not begrudge your fief; do not think of your wife and children. And do not depend on others. You must simply make up your mind."
(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 829)
Selection source: From SGI President Ikeda's message at the representative leaders' conference, Seikyo Shimbun, March 23, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we exert ourselves in our noble Buddhist practice with the humble spirit to give our all to supporting and encouraging the youth, we will accumulate immense benefit. All of our hard work will become a precious treasure in our lives.
"Mr. Makiguchi and Mr. Toda were men's division members, and I, too, am a men's division member. The Daishonin notes that in battles courageous generals are crucial to victory (cf. WND-1, 613). Let's strive with courage and win! Mr. Toda's words still resonate in my heart: 'In a struggle against the unjust or corrupt, you must win! Widen your circle of trustworthy, good-hearted friends day by day, and expand it year after year!' I hope that you, my successors, will also engrave these words in your heart."
