-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Failure is not defeat.
It's indeed proof of our progress!
Through learning from our failures,
picking ourselves up again
and
and
continually challenging ourselves
over and over again,
a glorious come-from-behind victory
a glorious come-from-behind victory
is born.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The first shi of the word shishi, or "lion" [which means "teacher"], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means "child"] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The "roar" is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison. The verb sa, "to make" or "to roar," should here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Every wish, thought, or prayer we express before the Gohonzon will be accepted and enfolded in the boundless compassion of Buddhahood. Let's chant openly and honestly, 'regarding both suffering and joy as facts of life' (cf. WND–1, 681). When our hearts are full of pain or sorrow, let's put those feelings, just as they are, into our daimoku. Let's chant with unwavering faith in the power of the Mystic Law, just 'as parents refuse to abandon their children, or as a child refuses to leave its mother' (WND–1, 1036)."
