a poem to ponder

Life
by Daisaku Ikeda

I will cast out
All the vagueness and indecision within me
Because my wish is to construct
The castle of my whole life
On the fulfilment of each promise that I make.

I want to live my life
As a surpassingly broadminded man
Known for being happy and honest
A person in whom people can have absolute trust.

I've put behind me
The age of dreaming about a rosy future
And with roots extended into life's reality
I realise that the power to create happiness
Derives from what we actually do today.

and a sayimg by Lao-Tzu

Water is fluid, soft and yielding. But water will wear away rock which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule whatever is fluid, soft and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox - what is soft is strong.
