Buddhism for you -- Determination 10

Strengthen your resolve more than ever.
Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water.
Blue dye comes from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the color is better than that of the indigo plant.
The Lotus Sutra remains the same, but if you repeatedly strengthen your resolve, your color will be better than that of others, and you will receive more blessings than they do.--Nichiren

Mahatma Gandhi stressed the importance of being resolute in one's determination.
He asserts that someone who makes halfhearted pronouncements is either arrogant or cowardly.
