Rather than engaging in pointless self-flagellation, young bold gusty people should throwing themselves entirely into whatever the task at hand

Some people are overly critical of themselves and become listless and unassertive as a result. Rather than engaging in pointless self-flagellation, young people would do best just being what young people are: bold, audacious and gutsy—and throwing themselves entirely into whatever the task at hand.



Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda 9/3

If you make a commitment to work for the sake of others, you will be rejuvenated. If you devote your life to helping others, you'll stay young

You mustn't allow yourselves to grow old before your time. Please live with a youthful spirit. That is what Buddhism teaches us to do, and it is how life ought to be lived. If you make a commitment to work for the sake of others, you will be rejuvenated. If you devote your life to helping others, you'll stay young. The power of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo guarantees that.
