Ikeda talks with youth on the issues of study and work.
"Youth is the battlefield where suffering and hope struggle. Who will win? It absolutely must be hope that wins. No matter how much you are suffering right now, always remember that you were born to win. Because if you do not give up, you can be sure that the dawn will surely rise. Never forget that you possess the invincible sword capable of breaking any suffering." These are the words with which the author addresses readers in the epilogue of a volume that deals with the issues of study and career choices. These are particularly hot topics, with respect to which everyone is called upon to bring his or her whole self to bear. Indeed, at the basis of every achievement, as Daisaku Ikeda points out, there is always an energetic challenge, fueled by a profound hope directed toward the future.
