Two Key Elements to Your Success. If you Want to boost confidence and optimize your social encounters---remember two things:

1.   Smile 2.  Keep Eye Contact

Smiling and having eye contact together send powerful human signals to one’s social environment

“Everybody wants to be somebody, but nobody wants to grow.” - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I hope that each of you will realize success in your respective fields, fully recognizing that success means not giving up halfway but resolutely pursuing the path you have chosen. To this end, it is also important that you realize that the place where you work is a place for forging your character and growing as a human being. By extension, therefore, it is a place for your Buddhist practice, a place for practicing and deepening your faith. When you view things from this angle, all your complaints will disappear. No one is more pathetic than someone who is constantly complaining. Daisaku Ikeda

"... To embark on a relationship as an escape from something is extremely disrespectful to both your partner and yourself." - Daisaku Ikeda

It is important for you to become strong. For if you are strong, even your sadness will become a source of nourishment, and the things that make you suffer will purify your life.

Daisaku Ikeda

If you are neglecting the things you should be doing, forgetting your purpose in life because of the relationship you're in, then you're on the wrong path. A healthy relationship is one in which two people encourage each other to reach their respective goals while sharing each other's hopes and dreams. A relationship should be a source of inspiration, invigoration and hope. - Daisaku Ikeda
