quotes by ~ Daisaku Ikeda
The place where you are now is vital. Never avoid what you must face. Challenge your circumstances and steadily persevere. The path towards victory opens from where you stand.
If you want to understand the causes made in the past, look at the results as they are manifest in the present. And if you want to know what results will be manifest in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present. The reality of your future self is forged by current action, in your behavior now.
When your determination change, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success. On the other hand, if you think, "This is never going to work out," then at that instant every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight. Then everything really will move in the direction of failure.

This is a quote from his educator ~ Josei Toda
When we are upset, it's easy to blame others. The true cause of our feelings, however, is within us. For example, imagine yourself as a glass of water. Now, imagine past negative experiences as sediment at the bottom of your glass. Next, think of others as spoons. When stirred, the sediments clouds your water. It may appear that the spoon caused the water to cloud --- but if there were no sediment, the water would remain clear. The key, then, is to identify our sediment and actively work to remove it.
