-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Who decides what our limitations are
is ourselves.
Who then is it who can break through
the walls of such limitations
but ourselves.
Its from the single-minded resolve that we set,
right at this moment,
that our future victories begin.
May we forever be challengers
with the spirit of
"never ever give up!"
