challenges ahead

It has been 10 days since i updated this blog, being busy lately with all gakkai activities, attending meetings, preparing for discussion meet. Knowing about the 31 August Merdeka Event held by the government had invited SGM in performing, i got so excited, that once again i can gather with all the youth members and arm link in arm to face all obstacles and present a high spirit performance. Then on Tuesday, i receive a call by Chin Yen on asking me whether i am interested in becoming the group PIC for this event. After thinking and balancing about my trip to KK and this, i decided to become PIC. It is because I know, through this activities, as i challenge myself in all forms, i am going to grow stronger, building a solid foundation in faith and doing my own human revolution. Last December, i am the main PIC for JD camp, and also attended the Akademeia training camp and exchange meet. I believe this time, I am going to train up myself in encouraging members and together challenge our weakness in making this event a success and creating history once more. Preparing ourself for the coming 2010 National Cultural Festival.

Then Thursday i attended the first PIC meeting and we started training. This time around we are going to do our SGM famous Gymnastic again. it will be a big challenge and we need a lot of support from our daimoku. Time limit is also a big challenge as we only have 2 months to train before the actual performance. Taking up this challenge and mission, we are going to persevere and conquering this mountain! The government had arrange us being the highlight and the final performance of the night, representing our current PM, Dato Seri Abdullah, showcasing the growth and development of Malaysia. This had proven that through our efforts in contributing to the country to promote peace through culture and education in all these years has gain recognition from the public and government, that they trust us and giving us this honor. Then, i had also able to get 2 soka friends and a member to participate in such event. Creating history once more, just like Citrawarna, Commonwealth Games and SEA games.

"Because you are still young, you , the youth, have boundless possibilities; you can do anything you set your mind on.If you let this precious time pass by, idly frittering your days away or letting fear and insecurity hold you back, you will be the one to lose out in the end. I hope that you will lead a youth of undying value and boldly write the history of kosen-rufu with the heart of a lion king. That is the true path of Soka youth... A Buddhist sutra states:' if you want to understand what results will manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.' (WND-1, pg279) Mr Toda said, ' our present struggles ill be decided by youth. Our future struggles will also be decided by Youth.' Youth are the ones who create history in every age. None are stronger or happier than those who deeply resolve to fight with the pride and awareness that they are my youthful disciples." Ikeda Sensei, in Flow 410.

Advance boldly...and put myself wholeheartedly in kosen-rufu. challenge and building a solid foundation.
