-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What will create a new era is the courage of our youth.
If genuine disciples stand up and take action,
then a path will definitely open up.
My dearest young friends,
make up your mind,
carry on this noble path that your
mentor has single-mindedly advanced along.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In work, as in everything, winning in the morning is decisive. Start your day by chanting earnestly to the Gohonzon and then set off to work brimming with strong life-force. Greet your colleagues with a friendly 'Good morning!' As the Daishonin says, 'The voice does the Buddha's work' (cf. OTT, 4). Be ready to use your voice to lift the spirits of your co-workers and brighten the atmosphere at your workplace.
"You can't hope to win trust at your workplace if you frequently come in late or come in looking dishevelled and unkempt. Winning in the morning is the key to winning in life."
