-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everything depends on ourselves;
not on others,
nor on our circumstances or environment.
Let's leave a legacy of accomplishments
based on the stand alone spirit!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Youth is not something that fades with age. Our attitude towards life is what makes us young. As long as we maintain a positive attitude and a spirit of challenge, we will continue to gain depth and richness and our lives will shine with the brilliance of gold or burnished silver.
"I think we can say that one of the most important challenges of the third stage of life is how to live in a way that is true to ourselves until the very last and show this to those around us.
"People's memories and recollections about a person who has passed away, the example of that individual's life, can be a great source of encouragement and strength to them.
"What can we contribute, what can we leave as a legacy for others in our third stage of life? After all is stripped away—wealth, renown, social status—the only thing that remains after one's death is the example of how one has lived one's life as a human being."
