-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If a single person of sincere and earnest commitment
stands up resolutely,
the way forwards will certainly open up.
It is my hope that you be like a courageous lion
rather than a thousand sheep!*
Live a life dedicated to the great pledge (for kosen-rufu)!

* Makiguchi Sensei expressed his firm conviction that "a single lion will triumph over a thousand sheep. A single person of courage can achieve greater things than a thousand cowards."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Senator Kennedy once said: 'We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make.' Those who contribute positively to the future live on in that future. Those who dedicate themselves to working for the sake of young people live on together with those young people. That is why the realm of Soka is eternally youthful and indestructible."
SGI Newsletter No. 8146, OUR BRILLIANT PATH TO VICTORY, Youth, Set in Motion a Vigorous Wave of Dialogue--Part 1 [of 2], translated Jan. 24th, 2011
