I read the Book of Ecclesiastes every day.

He was active as a member of the Kōdōha.

He decided to start a new business and reminded himself that even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

He remembered the old proverb, 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions.'

He was anxious about starting a new business, but I encouraged him by saying, 'Even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'

He said, 'Even if you die in the evening, it's okay if you ask the way in the morning,' teaching me the importance of living each day to the fullest.
