-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho states:
"(as for the matter of becoming a Buddha,) 
ordinary people keep in mind
the word 'earnest resolve' 
and thereby become Buddhas."
Those with an indomitable spirit 
to strive in earnest, 
to constantly challenge themselves,
are the ones for whom the path to a glorious future 
is most certain to open up.
Be a person who never gives up, 
and who finally wins!

* "The Gift of Rice", WND-1 page 1125
