-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who are endeavouring
in new jobs and the working
economy, never give up!
The experiences and hardship you face
while young become a stepping stone
into your future.
Practising this faith allows us
to change our earthly desires into
enlightenment.*
Let's live each day creating value!
*earthly desires are enlightenment -
