Never really cut out for life in the battlefield?

Before you open your business, succeed at outside sales work. Sales work is very similar to operating a business but still using someone else’s money.

3. Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda once said, “It is vital for youth to have the tenacity to become the very best at something.” Tenacity is crucial. You cannot make the gem inside your life shine with easygoing efforts.

It is important that you possess the inner strength and common sense to always have the spirit to learn everything you can where you are, to develop the means by which to support your life, to pursue substance rather than surface, and to explore the depths of your potential.

Mr. Toda once said the criteria for selecting a job could be found in “The Theory of Value,” a philosophical treatise by his mentor, founding Soka Gakkai president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi.

Mr. Makiguchi taught that there are three kinds of value: beauty, benefit and good. In the realm of employment, the value of beauty means to find a job you like; the value of benefit is to get a job that earns you a salary so that you are able to support your daily life; the value of good means to find a job that helps others and contributes to society.
