— TO MY FRIENDS --
It's vital that meetings be filled with freshness.
Let's not neglect to focus on careful preparation
and creative imaginative ideas.
Let's make our meetings the kind of gatherings
where those who attend are glad they came
and go home with a renewed sense of resolve to
"go for it!"

"French President Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970) once remarked that the end of hope is the beginning of death.[1]
"Hope is life. To lose hope is to lose one's vital spirit.
"To practise Nichiren Buddhism is to always live with hope. It means to take it upon oneself to create hope, actualise it, and continue to advance in ever higher spirits towards still greater hope. And faith is the driving force that enables us to do this."
SGI Newsletter No. 9302, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chapter 13: "You Will Grow Younger, and Your Good Fortune Will Accumulate," 13.3 The Secret to a Vigorous Old Age," from the September 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 2nd Oct. 2015
