It's never too late to be what you can be

adapted from" Discussions of Youth vol 1" Daisaku Ikeda

Daisaku: "I cannot say this too strongly Do not compare yourselves to others. Be true to who you are and continue to learn with all your might. Even if you are riduled, even if you suffer disappointments and setbacks, continue to advance and do not be defeated" If you have such a strong determination in your heart, you already halfway to victory.

[ You may having problems at home, in relationship, your looks, grades, life, or in fact, Everything! You may feel lonely, frustrated, hurt, insecure but

you are not alone, everyone of us is the same as you.] Youth means grapplings with all kinds of problems.It means resolving them, in spite of all the diffficulties. This is the Hallmark of youth.

When you hold fast to your beliefs and live true to yourself, your true value as a human being shines through.

[we are all like diamonds from the mine but which diamond will be thouroughly polished and shine? The good thing is your life is for you to control, you can choose to make yourself shine and no one else can stop you. Remember the power is withine YOU.]
