To inherit the responsibility for taking action
and to propel a way into the future.
These are the essential qualities and hallmarks
of true successors.
Youth,

Now is the time for us to create a surge
of fresh new waves of expansion!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The past is is the past; the future is the future. Look to the future and keep moving forwards, telling yourself: 'Everything starts from today—it starts from now, this minute, this moment!' This is the essence of Nichiren Buddhism, the Buddhism of 'true cause.'[1]
"True success or failure in life will not be apparent until you reach your 40s or 50s.
"Don't allow your immediate situation to make you lose hope or panic. Though you may do something you regret, have problems, or make mistakes, the future is long. Don't be a fainthearted person who frets or despairs over every little thing.
SGI Newsletter No. 9388, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chap. 17: Message for Youth [Part 2 of 4], 17.6 Keep Moving Forwards, from the January 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 22nd April, 2016
[1] True cause: Also, mystic principle of the true cause. Nichiren Buddhism directly expounds the true cause for enlightenment as Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is the Law of life and the universe. It teaches a way of Buddhist practice of always moving forward from this moment on based on this fundamental Law.
