---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Leadership positions in the Soka Gakkai are supremely noble assignments in the struggle for kosen-rufu. The greater your responsibility, the greater the challenges you will face, but also the greater the benefit you will gain. You will achieve victory as a human being, and shine and succeed in society. The experience will add something positive to your life.
"Some of you have vice leadership positions. If you fail to clearly establish what your responsibilities are and don't put any real effort into fulfilling them, you will receive no benefit. What matters is whether or not you burn with a genuine fighting spirit for kosen-rufu. 'It is the heart that is important' (WND-1, 1000).
"If you devote yourself to faith with a pure heart, you can polish the mirror of your life so that it shines eternally.
"Please continue to forge ahead on the path of kosen-rufu and leave a record of victory and success on the stage of your mission."
