Be a cherry tree =)

Cherry trees bloom so beautifully because they have survived the harshness of winter. The same holds true for human life. Life is a succession of changes. It is a matter of enduring and of waging a ceaseless struggle -- all the while watching the time, awaiting the time, creating the time. It is thru such accumulated efforts that we can experience full-blown victory in life." -Nichiren Daishonin-
