---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As the ancient Roman poet Horace wrote: 'Doth wise schooling inborn powers extend.'
"Understanding something in theory doesn't necessarily mean one will actually be able
to do it. During a disaster or accident, it is often the case that people know what
they should do but freeze up and are unable to act. Hands-on training, repeated until
fully mastered, best prepares one for action in a crisis. Training instils the lesson
in one's body, and in one's life.
"One of the problems with modern society is that there are few opportunities for
young people to receive training in safeguarding human life.
"The Soka Gakkai, however, plays the role of a great training institute, fostering
and educating youth to serve society."
