-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A leader's itiniative in taking on challenges
is the key to the advancement of kosen-rufu.
Let's all take bold action.
Let's be clear and precise about what we want to say and do.
And let's together create the opportunities for everyone to grow and develop.

"Words echo the thoughts of the mind and find expression through the voice."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Even people who are regarded as expert communicators didn't necessarily start out that way, so you shouldn't worry. The important thing is not to dwell on your failures. Look at them as opportunities to learn. Stay bright and positive, and just keep trying to initiate conversations.

"Whenever you try to do something, whether it's engage in dialogue or something else, there are bound to be setbacks now and then. Setbacks are badges of honour for those who try to achieve something worthwhile. Never be ashamed of them.... The key to victory is continually striving to grow and to improve."
