To all of our precious youth,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Chinese characters for 'adult' can also be read as 'great person,' meaning an individual of outstanding virtue and integrity.

"As an old Chinese saying goes, 'The great man is selfless.' The kind of leaders who win people's respect and admiration are those who give their all not to the pursuit of their own selfish gain and profit, but to contributing to the welfare of others and society."
