---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Sun Yatsen (1866-1925) the father of modern China declared: 'If I believe in my heart that something is possible, then even if it is as difficult as moving mountains or filling in the sea, the day of success will ultimately come. If I believe in my heart that something is impossible, then even if it is as easy as snapping a twig with a flick of my wrist, the time of success will never come.'*


"Great ideals are fulfilled by believing in yourself and deciding that you will achieve them without fail."


The New Human Revolution - Vol. 28, Inner Change 15, translation released August, 2023

* Translated from Chinese. Sun Zhongshan [Sun Yat-sen], Jianguo fanglüe (A general plan for national construction), in Sun Zhongshan quanji (Collected works of Sun Zhongshan), vol. 6 (Beijing: Zhonghua shuju [Zhonghua Book Company], 1985), pp. 158-59.
