Don't let that time

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Don't let that time
that opportunity slip by!
Rather than saying "some day,"
let's stand up "right now!"
Those who immediately
put their determination into action
open the door to victory
and success!

"The Daishonin taught his disciples the importance of developing inner strength and mental fortitude: 'Untempered iron quickly melts in a blazing fire,... But a sword, even when exposed to a great fire, withstands the heat for awhile, because it has been well forged' (WND – 1, 839).
"No one is stronger than individuals who have forged their lives like fine swords. As the Daishonin also says: 'Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword' (WND – 1, 303). Indeed, the aim of Buddhist practice and SGI activities is to develop ourselves into just such strong individuals."
