A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.
Daisaku IkedaTrue happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances.
Daisaku IkedaAdversity gives birth to greatness. The greater the challenges and difficulties we face, the greater the opportunity we have to grow and develop as people. A life without adversity, a life of ease and comfort, produces nothing and leaves us with nothing. This is one of the indisputable facts of life.
Daisaku IkedaWhy doesn't constant trampling defeat the dandelion? The key to its strength is its long and sturdy root, which extends deep into the earth. The same priciple applies to people. The true victors in life are those who, enduring repeated challenges and setbacks, have sent the roots of their being to such a depth that nothing can shake them.
