"Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda once declared: 'We live in an age where neither Japan nor the world can accomplish anything without the enthusiastic, unrestrained support of young people.'
"It is to the youth that we will entrust the future. Heart-to-heart ties are formed and people fostered through working together to accomplish a shared goal.
"Efforts to foster people can take place anytime or anywhere. Even if it's just on the way to or from a meeting, we can use that time to talk with juniors in faith, giving them the opportunity to share their problems and dreams.
"Our sincere prayers to help someone grow to become even more capable than us, together with our unwavering belief in their great mission, will definitely resonate in the other person's life.
"Everyone, no matter who they are, faces challenges in life. Some may struggle with things such as illness, financial difficulty, or human relationship problems. To overcome such challenges, we have to develop and strengthen our lives.
"For the young men's and young women's division members, the youth festivals present an opportunity to break through their limitations, gain unshakable conviction in faith, and build the foundation for lifelong happiness.
"The victories you go on to achieve based on faith will adorn the drama of your human revolution and eloquently attest to the true greatness of the SGI."
