Buddhism means putting the teachings into practice. Practice equals faith. With sincere prayer and action, our desires cannot possibly fail to be fulfilled. When you continue to apply yourselves to your Buddhist practice toward kosen-rufu, solidifying and gaining mastery in your faith, you will find that all your prayers will definitely be answered.
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

I vowed to summon up a powerful and unconquerable desire for the salvation of all beings, and never to falter in my efforts.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, December 1, 2013
The main thing is to be proud of the work you do, to live true to yourself. Activity is another name for happiness. What's important is that you give free, unfettered play to your unique talents, that you live with the full radiance of your being. This is what it means to be truly alive.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (08 March 1951) p. 96
We are by far the most fortunate of people. This is because we are developing under our mentor's deep, compassionate consideration. I must grow, replying to his expectations. This is my responsibility and obligation.
1. Firmly establish my faith.
2. Build a splendid foundation for our company.
3. Cultivate my ability as a disciple and successor to Mr. Toda.
