"In life, of course, there are times when we are unable to win. There may also be times when it seems that we will be crushed by adversity. But even at such moments, we must never allow ourselves to be beaten in our hearts. We must resolve not to be defeated in the future. We practice Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism so that we can be victorious in life."
"Don't concern yourself with vanity or pretension. Just earnestly continue to chant daimoku. That will rose strong life-force, and brighten your face, too. Just like a jet taking off, your life-state will begin to rise rapidly, because daimoku revs up the engine of your life until it's running at full speed. Always aim for the top, win over yourself, and create a proud record of triumph for all the world to see. That's the way to enjoy an invigorating and fulfilling life."
"Halfhearted effort in faith, halfhearted effort in work will get your nowhere. Keep your sights set on your chose goals, exert yourself wholeheartedly in faith, throw yourself wholeheartedly into your work and into polishing your skills. That's the way to win in the end. Lets all win on the stage of our personal mission!"
