Perserverence is the key. You must only do it this time. Only such struggle can bring us victory.

indeed.. i've only been 'trying my best at my own convenience'. to not be swayed so easily.. i need to be more firm and determined. i want to work hard n try hard too..



From a healed, peaceful heart, humility is born; from humility, a willingness to listen to others is born; from a willingness to listen to others, mutual understanding is born; and from mutual understanding, a peaceful society will be born. Nonviolence is the highest form of humility; it is supreme courage.
empathy, "i understand", compassion.. if i cant feel for it, i want the courage to go thru it.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make sure to have clear-cut goals and plans for each day! Then when we look back on how the day went, we can say to ourselves: "Todayagain I won!" Making steady progress, on a daily basis, enables us to adorn our lives with remarkable victories!

this is what i've been thinking on the way here. i need to be better than yesterday.. no matter how glorious the past is, things starts from now and i'll surpass even then to build a solid foundation.

"Be diligent in developing your faith until the last moment of your life. Otherwise you will have regrets. For example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?"(Letter to Niike - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1027) Selection source: The New Human Revolution - Surging Seas - 30, Seikyo Shimbun, May 19, 2009

thought of this quote quite sometime back. sometimes we feel tired on the 3rd day, 5th day or 11th day of the journey. then we muz think of the reason to travel and the beautiful scenery we will see when we reach. but right now, i am like melos who is obstructed by the raging seas and rocky roads.
