Have you ever wanted to ask Mr. Ikeda a few questions?
Questions like “what does he do everyday?” or even questions about your
problem? Mr. Ikeda will always answer us no matter how busy he is. He believes
that everyone’s a great leader of the 21st century. There’s nothing
more important than to nurture and foster you! Let's study the following
article “Q&A with Ikeda Sensei” sincerely.
Chapter 1 The key to the future!
Q1, what do you do as occupation?
A: “Encourage
everyone”. Writing articles and guidance in hope that everyone will be
high-spirited and healthy. There are people I could or could not meet; some are
near and some could be in another country. However, I never stop praying
throughout the year for their health and happiness.
Q2, what is the most important thing for
us as a human?
A: I hope
that you would “keep your promises”. I have met so many leaders from all around
the world. Each of them kept their promises. Being a person who keeps his/her
promises is noble.
Q3, how do you feel when you were taking
photos?
A: Carrying
an attitude of “having a dialogue with nature” while pressing the shutter. With
such attitude, we’re able of seeing ourselves and our life clearly. The nature
is a piece of mirror.
Q4, I just had a fight with my friends!
A: Even
if you had a fight with your friends, never allow yourself to grow hate. Never
think of unfriending that person. When we change our mindset, everything will
appear to be different. Be it our fault or our friend’s problem, we must always
remember to reflect ourselves. Bring out the courage in you to take the
initiative to apologize to your friend. At this point, it seems like a fight is
a chance to bring us closer to our friends.
Q5, How do you study?
A: I don’t
have any special method to study. If you have the will to study well, then you
must work even harder. My attitude was to improve myself, to strive for another
5 minutes more.
Q6, I just encountered a very tough
person!
A: Regardless
if that person is someone you hate, you’d still have to chant for him/her. It
may seem difficult from the beginning, but we must persevere on the challenge
and chant. Someday, it’ll all change. When we change, that person will change
as well. No matter how, we must guide ourselves to the positive direction. When
we could change ourselves to chant for people like that, it is our greatest
treasure then.
Q7, what’s the most important thing in
life?
A: “Friendship”,
friendship is the most valuable treasure. This is my conclusion of life. As a
senior in life, I’d like to tell all of you that the more friendship you
develop, the broader your life is. Friendship helps to multiply our happiness
and divide our sadness.
Q8, What is the purpose of having
university?
A: I
think that “University is established for those who couldn’t study in
university”. Those who had the opportunity to study in a university has the
responsibility to serve those who couldn’t.
