-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The crucial point in the success 
  of any activity or endeavour
    is the speed at which we carry things out 
      and the ability to achieve decisive results.
Timing is critical, don't miss out on it!
Burning with an unfathomable power of life
  now is the time to win in the present moment 
    and become victorious!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(In the Latter Day of the Law, the votary of the Lotus Sutra* will appear without fail.) The greater the hardships befalling him, the greater the delight he feels, because of his strong faith. Doesn't a fire burn more briskly when logs are added? All rivers flow into the sea, but does the sea turn back their waters?"

(A Ship to Cross the Sea of Suffering 
- WND, Vol.1, page 33)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The benefit we gain through devoting ourselves to Soka Gakkai activities is immense. And nothing is nobler than taking on a position within the Soka Gakkai and working hard to fulfil the responsibilities that come with it.

"Those who strive earnestly for kosen-rufu will enjoy boundless benefit in lifetime after lifetime. They will enjoy unsurpassed lives of ease and material well-being. They will freely exert themselves as outstanding leaders of society.

"We can attain such a state of life without fail. As practitioners of the Mystic Law, it is crucial that we have this conviction." (Speech, August 17th, 2002)

SGI Newsletter No. 9413, Guidelines for Leaders Striving on the Front Lines of Kosen-rufu [Part 2 of 5] — Part 1  Mission and Responsibility — Organisational Positions, translation released 28th June, 2016
