We will need to work toward our goal with the absolute conviction that we will not leave until we have accomplished it, or that we will die trying.​

The first step is for you, as the central figure, to determine in the depths of your being that you are going to build a great bastion of kosen-rufu in Matsushiro. You need to work toward this goal with the absolute conviction that you will not leave until you have accomplished it, or that you will die trying. Without such firm resolve, you cannot hope to open a new page in the history of kosen-rufu.​

The reason why I was able to achieve great victory in Osaka, Yamaguchi, and everywhere else was that I always threw myself into the struggle with just such determination. Half-serious efforts amount to nothing! Leaders who think only of maintaining their positions will never be able to surmount incredible odds and come out triumphant. When you stand up on your own with a resolute mind and passionately call on others to join you, they are sure to stand up by your side.
