 -- TO MY FRIENDS --
"A popular proverb reads
'One is the mother of ten thousand.'"*
Even one person, 
unshakeably determined to do something,
can surpass the strength of ten thousand.
Let's, therefore, be the one who stands up!
At the same time, 
let's offer words of wholehearted encouragement
to each person we have a chance to talk to!

*Gosho: WND-I, page 131
