-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's put our very best into
encouraging and developing
our Future Division members!
When we discover their strengths
and openly praise
and appreciate their efforts,
we can help to bring out their best
and help them to really blossom!
The destiny of humankind depends on
the growth and development
of our precious successors.

"In the midst of a series of the harshest persecutions while struggling for the happiness of the people, Nichiren Daishonin declared: 'Still I am not discouraged' (WND-1, 748).

"…please never give up and keep striving, no matter what difficulties you face, in the spirit of 'Still I am not discouraged.'

"Always remember that true success in life comes to the unflagging challengers who have the dauntless spirit to never be defeated by anything."
