-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter what the circumstances,
it is important that we cherish every single individual and do our very best to encourage each person.
As a leader,
let's make every possible effort so that every member will be imbued with courage and strength!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dr. Bernard Lown, one of the cofounders of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), with whom I've met and spoken, has said that medicine is the art of healing and listening, and that listening properly to what others are saying begins with having respect for them as individuals. He also said that friendship that is built through sincere dialogue opens the way to genuine communication."
