-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When it comes to reporting and communication,
the time it takes for us to react or respond
must take on a sense of immediacy and urgency.
This is the way we gain trust,
start to count on each other
and stay strong and united in purpose.
Let's win by taking action with lightening speed!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Social standing, wealth, position, and family background have nothing to do with happiness. And thinking you would be happy if things just went the way you wanted, or if you could just do this or that, is not really Buddhism.
"'It is the heart that is important' (WND-1, 949; 1000), declares the Daishonin. The heart is faith, and faith is an essential requirement for happiness.
