Certainly there will be times when you wish you had more spending money, more time to sleep and more time for fun and recreation. You may feel restricted now, but you should consider your current situation as the perfect set of circumstances for your growth. Within the restrictions that define your present existence, the only thing to do is to discipline yourself and head in the direction of growth and self-improvement.

Let's be generous with our encouragements
"Just as a spring breeze awakens tender new shoots of green, sincere
encouragement can thaw a frozen heart and inspire another. Nothing has
greater power to revitalise than encouragement."~Shin'ichi Yamamoto

There is no shortcut to be a person of genuine substance. Foundation can only be built through hard work.
You cannot build a foundation without effort and hard work, and without a solid foundation, you cannot become a person of genuine substance. Please make no mistake about this. Cunning people who shun hard work and seek to make it big overnight invariably come to a fall in the end.

Strive to be like Edison, never giving up for the sake of others
Edison worked to invent things that were of practical benefit to humanity. He was clear about his purpose. He wasn't simply interested in personal acclaim or riches. And he pursued his endeavours with a "never give up" spirit. Let's not give up in our efforts to help even a single person become happy.

Human revolution is any action that leads to positive change... in the inner realm of a person's life.
When a person who is seriously ill recovers, that is a great human revolution. When a mean person becomes kind to others, that is human revolution. When people who treat their parents poorly begin to respect and love them, that is human revolution. Human revolution cannot be pinned down to one specific thing. It is any action that leads to positive change or improvement in the inner realm of a person's life.

Strength is the source of happiness
Strength is the source of happiness. We mustn't shy away from life's challenges. We mustn't be defeated. Refusing to be defeated equals victory. A person who perseveres to the end is a winner.

Making Determination, Resolution. Never be defeated! Persevere!
Anyone who has ever made a resolution discovers that the strength of their determination fades with time. The moment you feel that happening is when you should make a fresh determination.
