— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's develop the ability to always challenge
any kind of situation we find ourselves in,
with a positive outlook.
Never succumbing to any kind of set back
and leading a life of human revolution is, in fact,
the grand road to happiness and victory!

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When encouraging a member who was facing some difficulty, Mr. Toda said: 'There are times in life when it feels like we've entered a dark tunnel. But once we make it through the tunnel, we can again enjoy a beautiful landscape. We must not stop halfway. Keep making efforts and pressing forwards right to the very end based on faith.' His words "Keep making efforts and pressing forwards right to the very end" gave hope to everyone.
"As long as we continue pressing forwards based on faith, we can achieve victory, undefeated by any difficulty—that was Mr. Toda's absolute conviction and the message he passionately and tirelessly shared with members."
SGI Newsletter No. 9102, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory [60] "The Difficulty of Sustaining Faith," Once we make it through the tunnel…, from the February 2014 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 10th Oct., 2014
