-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Travelling by car, 
our safety is the top priority!
Pay attention to the road 
at all times 
and never try to operate 
a cell phone or do anything else 
which distracts you from driving!
Let's ensure we have ample 
travel time in our plan and
at the same time 
let's not forget to 
take frequent breaks.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep are important for our physical growth. But how do we develop our minds?

"The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) said that what we eat builds us physically and what we read builds us mentally.*

"Reading fosters many important inner equalities, such as resilience, consideration for our friends and appreciation for our parents. Books enable us to grow as human beings.

"Almost all of the world leaders I've met over the years have been avid readers."

Treasures of the Four Seasons, [20] Reading: Searching for Books Is an Exciting Treasure Hunt!, from 1st November, 2019 issue of Hope News, translation released May 2021.

*Cf. Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena: Short Philosophical Essays, translated by E.F.J. Payne, vol.2 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2000), p.559
