— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try to accomplish today's mission
without putting it off to another day!
Once we make the determination to do something,
let's chant daimoku and take action,
by being true to ourselves.
Then we will be able to use the best
of our strengths and abilities.

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Obstacles are there in order for us to overcome them.
Those who decide to win, will win.
Now, let's go out and meet our friends.
Let's hold discussion meetings that are full of joy and happiness
where everyone wins a "Gold Medal" of good fortune and benefit!
