Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

We are people of faith and faith is the ultimate conviction. Nothing could be sadder nor more shortsighted, therefore, than complaining or giving up when we encounter some small obstacle in our path. A genuine Buddhist is a person of wisdom and conviction.

In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come.
The Problem to Be Pondered Nigh and Day

The expansive world lies not in some distant place; it exists right where you are. That is why you need to win where you are right now. Today's victory is linked to your eternal victory.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (10 December 1950) p.68
In the morning, did my laundry and other chores. In the afternoon, went to Mr. Toda's house. He lectured for me on "The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life." Received guidance from him on various matters until late at night. Feel chagrined at my inability to fully grasp his guidance, even though I seem to have understood it at first.
