---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When a single champion for kosen-rufu stands up, the fire of their spirit ignites the hearts of one person after another until it brightly illuminates the darkness with its glow. Stand up as an individual! Everything starts from just one person; everything starts from oneself.

"As the great Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) said: 'A flame can only give light and warmth to its surroundings if it burns brightly itself.'[1]"
