Education definitely changes people's lives. This is why the SGI is so earnest when it comes to Buddhist study, which is the highest field of learning; it is the study of human beings and the foremost education. Buddhist study is the soul of the SGI.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Friday, June 12, 2015
There may be times when life seems gloomy and dull. When we feel stuck in some situation or other, when we are negative toward everything, when we feel lost and bewildered, not sure which way to turn - at such times we must transform our passive mindset and determine, "I will proceed along this path," "I will pursue my mission today." When we do so a genuine springtime arrives in our hearts, and flowers start to blossom.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (29 March 1960) p.493
Must advance with the people throughout my life.
Must continue to talk with ordinary people and live my life for ordinary people.
