--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
Our current place of work is, in fact,
the very place where we can grow most.
It's the "Dojo"* for training our lives!
Chanting deeply as we make serious efforts,
let's convert all our hardships
into life's greatest treasures!
* The word Dojo is often used in martial arts to refer to a hall or place for training and practice.

"The great Chinese military strategist Zhuge Liang (181–234), who is portrayed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, further said: 'A strong fighter is never angry, and a victor is never afraid.' Expert fighters don't let their emotions run away with them. They value their allies, and face their opponents with resolve and courage. This is the key to victory.
"Great leaders are not high-handed, and they remain unshaken, no matter how they may be defamed or attacked by others."
