4) Be the Front-runner!

This Unification Church now has the ideology which nobody can defeat. I, as the Father, must be the first to be involved in any kind of situation. In every situation, I am the first one to step in. This is what I have been doing all along.

Am I the number one in wearing glasses? [Yes!] How about you, do you like wearing glasses? [Yes!] (Father laughs) Actually, I am number one both in wearing glasses, and in being able to take off my glasses and throw them away! (everybody laughs) So how about you Europeans? Why don't you put on three pairs of glasses, four pairs, even five...! If you wear so many pairs of glasses, you can work as if you had no glasses. It's okay. If you are able to do better when wearing glasses than without them, then please do so. If you can work better with glasses, please do so.

Well, how do you like sleeping? Other people sleep eight hours. How about if I sleep 24 hours plus one more makes 25-how wonderful that must be! Why sleep only eight hours? We can add one extra hour to 24 hours, so let's sleep 25 hours! [No!] So then what shall we do? Let's sleep minus 25 hours. (everybody laughs) In that case, if some of you sleep minus 25 hours, it would become a much different, good kind of problem!

We must be better than Satan's world in even one thing. Every village we go and visit, we must insist, "I am different than you." In any way you care to imagine, we are different. Don't just add one-add more! So how much better can you do that yourself? Ten times more is better. A hundred times more is even better than that! Be the best! To whatever degree you do, more is great. (81-134)

You Unification people, brothers and sisters of the family of Heaven, you naturally unite, without anyone even giving an order. You should become stronger than the Communist Party. Do you understand?

First, in attending parents, second, in loving brothers and sisters, and third, in acting, we must surpass the others. Don't be defeated by them. Just as North Korea has sent spies to South Korea, in the future True Father will order our Unification Church members to go to North Korea. There must be no one who would not be willing to go to North Korea. Anyone who does not have the determination to go to that place cannot be a Unification Church member. We must be sons and daughters of God who can surpass them in our substantial practice. (23-295)
