---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The new century must be an age of humanism. How should we, as human beings, live our lives? How do we become truly happy? How can we live in peace? All of us need to make this our prime focus and pool our wisdom in support of this quest, including scholars, educators and leaders in every field. We must adopt a philosophy that puts people first. This is the greatest challenge we face in the 21st-century.
"Human rights must be connected to people's actual happiness. We must create an age in which all people can equally enjoy peace, happiness and fulfilment. To that end, let us strive for a restoration of humanity, for a renewed focus on the human being."
