Battle Fighting

2008-05-24T00:35:00.004+08:00

My Dear Comrades,

When we face obstacles, pls do not simply find a hole and hide inside, like ostrict hides its head into the sand. Nothing will have changed ultimately. So, stand up and never be afraid of obstacles. Be brave. Show your courage.

The day has come, NEVER ever Give Up!!

We are all in one, as many in body but one in mind.

Let's tie our heart together! Create another amazing history in our life in the year of 2008.

Human Relationship

2008-05-21T00:40:00.002+08:00

Thank you is a miraculous expression. We feel good when we say it, and we feel good when we hear it. When we speak or hear the words thank you, the armor falls from our hearts and we communicate on the deepest level.

Win or Lose

2008-05-14T23:34:00.003+08:00

Don't make excuses; take responsibility for your OWN life and resolve to be victorious. If you allow yourself to be defeated, all the excuses in the world will get you nowhere. Defeat is defeat, no matter how eloquently you may try to justify yourself. The important thing is to win where you are right now; to achieve victor without fail.

Suffer

2008-05-14T23:23:00.002+08:00

Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. Then you will experience boundless joy from the Law. Strengthen your faith more than ever.

Courage

2008-05-14T01:19:00.002+08:00

Those who lack courage run away from hardship, seeking only to live a life of ease and comfort. Thus one who lacks courage cannot help others.

If you summon your courage to challenge something, you'll never be left with regret. How sad it is to spend your life wishing, "If only I'd had a little more courage." Whatever the outcome may be, the important thing is to step forward on the path that you believe is right.

Success

2008-05-07T11:20:00.003+08:00

What is success in life ? Who are the truly successful ? There are famous and powerful people who become pitiful figures in their old age. There are people who die alone, feeling empty and desolate inside. Just what is success? The English thinker Walter Pater (1839–94) wrote: "To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life." The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life.

Life

2008-05-06T02:51:00.003+08:00

Life may be more akin to a series of meets than a single marathon. You can lose a race here or there, as long as you win in one contest, in one area. All the struggles you endured will become a prized investment in your own person.

Attitude 色心不二

2008-04-22T13:06:00.003+08:00

When your determination changes, 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.

池田大作先生曾经写过∶“随着意志的改变，一切事物都将朝着我们所欲的方向运转。打从我们立意取胜的那一刻开始，我们浑身上下所有神经元都以此为志。反之，如果存有‘这是行不通的’等想法，每一个细胞将于一瞬间变得斗志全失，束手服输。”

Self-mastery

2008-04-21T02:12:00.004+08:00

Anyone who has ever made a resolution discovers that the strength of that determination fades in time. The moment you feel that is when you should make a fresh determination. Tell yourselves, "OK! I will start again from now!" If you fall down seven times, get up the eighth. Don't give up when you feel discouraged-just pick yourselves up and renew your determination each time.

-Daisaku Ikeda-

'TRY' Is A Little Word, But Big Things

2008-04-16T23:20:00.003+08:00

In an early Buddhist scripture [the Udanavarga], practise is described as follows: "To try is the state of immortality. To be lazy is the path of death. Those who try never die. Those who are lazy already dead."

The person who doesn't allow himself to be distracted by little things, but continues trying is already living in the dimension of eternity. The lazy person who is defeated by his own weakness and desires is already approaching spiritual death.

Nichijun Shonin, who was renowned as a great scholar, used to say, "If rest is what you're after, you'll have plenty of time for that in your grave."

The lazy person really is like someone who is sleeping his life away, one foot already in the grave.

What else can chopstick do? This is another wise use of it.. SMART ya..

Why all are girls and only one guy? Do you know why? Because this Brandon "di di" macam mana pun mahu perform juga, evethough the performance only for girls.... So eventually end up like that.. mesti dia tu ada niat lain... :)

Tuna Brand, untunglah awak ni! So many "leng lui" with you, all the guys will boycott you now...

Since it's year of Rat, let's take some pics with the golden mouse!

I really like the decoration they did for IPA, it's very nice and in the CNY mode. Hope that more people will apprecite it.

Little Story for My Baby Girl

2008-04-07T04:00:00.006+08:00

I have attended the Young Leader Seminar last Sunday, 30Mar. This was my second time actually. I find that having this seminar on region basis is more effective. With a small number of participants, we can concentrate more and we can almost talk about everything heart-to-heart.

I have learnt something really useful and true. As we all know, Ikeda sensei always learn from the others. Once sensei gave guidance to the leader and said, "Leaders should have the willingness to do anything for the sake of the members", quoted from NHR33 Vanguard. As sensei said, willing to do ANYTHING, no matter what condition/situation we are in, members always come first.

Every one of us is unique and has our own personality. Some people have good personality, on the other hand, some people have the bad one. Especially when we are working in group, we can clearly see each other characteristic and personality. There is no win or lose, is just about give in and give out for the sake of the group. To understand and overcome this matter is most important of all.

DDG is our baby and MEMBERS are our precious. How are we going to raise up our baby? Of course, we need to give her love and teach her everything from A-Z. We are very happy and grateful if she is well grown. When she does a good job, we will praise her, but when she is naughty and playful, we will give lecture. We make sure that she is nurtured to be a successor in life, to win against all hardships.

Baby, baby, do you understand how does mummy feel? You are no longer a baby, whose mummy used to feed you milk. You are a child now, and you already know how to walk, to talk. When you fall down, you should know how to stand up yourself, but remember, mummy is always watching you from the side, you are not alone.

My baby members, no matter how hard/how pain is it, please DO YOUR BEST of all. I know YOU CAN do it, I always trust you. As you trust mummy will protect you and love you. We challenge together for our 6.15, okay? Let’s make a promise.

A child’s attitude and how she behaves is like a mirror of her parents. Members’ reaction is a reflection of the group leaders. Good parents will raise up good child. Good leaders will bring up good members. Being a good leader is not easy, same goes to good parents. We will learn to become wonderful parents, we have to. We couldn’t have expectation in our baby if we don’t have expectation in ourselves.

“A hundred or even a thousand people can definitely attain their goal, if they are of one mind.” What we are struggling now is not only for our own/for ddg, also we do it for soka gakkai and most essential is for our mentor, Ikeda sensei.

Again, let’s us challenge together! Hundred men move a step rather than one man moves hundred steps.

Welcoming
