-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho states:
"Iron, when heated in the flames
and pounded,
becomes a fine sword."*
The challenges and struggles
becomes a fine sword."*
The challenges and struggles
of our younger years all become
the priceless treasures
that serve to polish our personalities.
So let's continue to forge ahead
So let's continue to forge ahead
on our path of challenge!
*Source Gosho: "Letter from Sado" WND, Vol. 1, page 303, "Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword."
