The good fortune that accrues to parents who apply themselves diligently to SGI activities will protect their children without fail. Based on this conviction, you must still make positive efforts to open and sustain dialogue with your children, not allowing yourselves to neglect them, claiming that you're too busy or it can't be helped, or telling yourselves that somehow things will be taken care of. Unless you exert yourselves in this way, you are irresponsible parents who lack compassion.
2nd week of hols...
Just finished entrance exams. Kinda screwed up for the essay questions. Hopefully i can score from the front section. Went off to east coast for BBQ. It seem that there's no atmosphere for this BBQ. Not alot of the students turned up. Walked to whampoa zone BBQ. Played games with them. Looks like ymds must know more difficult songs so that the ywds will not get to win and eat the food. Haha.
Went home around 10plus with the group. Took 31 back.
Well round 2 BBQ today. Gonna stay overnight at east coast today. Night cycling today. Gonna make it a fun one.
Apparently , i twisted my left ankle due to using flippers to swim on thurs. Guess i have exerted too much strength on my ankle. Damn. Nevertheless, the passion for swimming will never stop over this minor injury.
Thoughts about my career, well some of my friends were commissioned as officers on last sat. While looking at their pics, this question was pop out to me; Will i be able to be as good as them? Excel at all aspects? Will i be able to influence and inspire people to become capable people in society? Well before i continue to think, I must polish myself first. That's one of the important factor.
Before i go off, just wanna share a phase from WND ( writings of nichiren daishonin).
It says;" Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting nam-myoho- renge-kyo. (WND I, pg 4)
