Joy

Hope, dreams, goals and ideals - anyone has power to envisage them boundlessly.

We can enjoy the privilege and taste the luxury of it.

At the same time, rather than impatient, we can heartily enjoy what we are, and start as we are.

Core

Whether here is bright or dark, ideal or disappointing, I am still what I am.

Wherever it may be, still possible to improve, strengthen and sophisticate own quality.

Positions, appearance, circumstances do not matter.

What matters is what I am and will be in actual quality.

Saying

"Effort never lies."

Step

Courage to take just one step further will turn around a situation.

That step per se enables a hundred and even thousands of steps further ahead.

Change

I cannot change others.

But I myself can change.

Decisions

Decisions could be accompanied by fears.

But, the more decisions made, the more life moves forward.

Courage would be a key for dynamism.

Indecisiveness makes life somewhat lengthy and tiring.

Dignity

Everybody is trying to live.

Everyone is striving for living.

That very deed embraces something precious and genuine within itself.

Opportunity

It is a time of difficulty when we find real friends and those who can be genuinely trusted.

In that sense, hard times are precious opportunities to find out what is truly important and real.

Weakness

"Weakness" is not necessarily weakness.

We can look at it from the angle of "nature".

Nature is just nature, which is neither good nor bad, strong nor weak in itself.

By turning around the way of using it, the "weakness" can turn into actual strength.

Difficulties

The more we get into difficulties, the more we should "roar" in spirit.

Indeed, dare to roar to the end.

That way, we can vanquish "difficulties."

Stuck

If stuck, and couldn't think any, use the hands rather than the head.

And just do what need to be done. Keep on doing.

This will gradually unclench and open the path in front.

Actions

I know I'm not clever.

But still I could do some actions even though simple and trivial.

Then I could still continue and accumulate such actions toward the extent of saturation.

Perhaps it could be a tipping point where I could see a break-through or a "solution" as clever people would name it.

Efficiency

Objectively, rational efficiency sounds a great way to settle problems.

But it is not quite so in reality.

For a human being is a subjective being, and society consists of people.

Problems

Problems or difficulties tend to linger, often because we seek "effective solutions" somewhere else.

If we just do what need to be done and finish it right now, right here, most of the "problems" would vanish rapidly.

One

Even if something is not working properly, still we have to get on with life.

Even if something we may regret, still we need to keep on living.

The world is moving, regardless of what we do, whatever we think, without paying even the slightest attention to what we feel.

The sun rises and continues to follow the orbit while shining all the time, as if nothing else is happening.

The sun does not see any shadow at all, simply because it shines.

Then, it would be unfair and so no use being depressed alone, wouldn't it?

If none cares, then why not dare to become happy one, as if nothing else is happening?

Action

Rather than being depressed or thinking too much, do something.

At least, it will move something in reality, which is the very source of change itself.

Flexibility

When casting aside rigid thinking, we can find enormous flexibility in life itself.

Potential

Life has potential to turn suffering into happiness.

Gratitude

As long as connecting with something essential within life, it is possible to feel gratitude even in the middle of suffering, and overcome it.

Strength

Real strength is not that of might or capability.

It is that of endurance and fortitude to keep standing in the face of disgrace.

Failure

Failure, mistakes and disappointment make a person stronger.

For they enable us to speculate deeply to the bottom.

Angle

Difficulty can turn into a source of joy and success

by a slight change of an angle to see it.

Depth

Depth and substance are superior to efficiency and tactics.

The former generates lasting effects, whereas the latter remains superficial.

Courage

Mind is where we feel fear and where we can nullify it.

Solution

When got confused, the best solution is to remember what is essential from the beginning.

Efforts

Doing best not just produces positive results, but also adds extra substance to one's quality, capacity and dignity.

Quality

Gold is gold wherever it may be.

So is the quality of a human being.
