-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
It is young people's courageous voices, 
ringing out for truth and justice,
that are the "fortress" protecting the people.
With conviction,
let's all speak out clearly and courageously
just like roaring lion kings.
By keeping good solid connections with our friends,
let's joyfully play out youthful victorious dramas!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"From the time he was a boy, the physicist Albert Einstein (1879–1955), turned his mind to investigating the invisible forces of the world. What, then, is the biggest force in the entire universe?

"Einstein said: 'Imagination encircles the world.'[1] The power of the human spirit, our imagination, is so big that it envelops the entire world.

"Our heart is invisible. But that invisible heart can open the way to our own future, move the hearts and minds of others, and determine the future of the world. It is the key to building peace.

"Einstein also said: 'Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them—these are the best guides for human beings.'[2]

"When someone is happy, let's take their hands and be happy with them. When someone is suffering, let us imagine how they must feel and reach out to comfort them."
