-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is absolutely
no limit to how much
a human being can
grow and develop!
Therefore, let's never be afraid
of making mistakes,
and challenge ourselves to reach
whatever we consider
to be our very best!
Courageously and boldly
let's advance
along the path in life
of eternal youth!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Representatives from Brazil, Taiwan, India, Singapore and South Korea are attending today's meeting. In these countries, too, our admirable, dedicated members have deeply embodied that 'gentleness and forbearance' (cf.LSOC 10, 205) taught in the Lotus Sutra. The more challenging the situation, the more they have taken action based on their convictions, striving with courage, sincerity and perseverance in the spirit of 'still I am not discouraged' (WND – 1, 748) demonstrated by Nichiren Daishonin."
43rd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Message, Joyfully Advancing in Our Human Revolution, October 6th, 2019, translation released November 2019
