Every student has a wish to hold the best record in his school. It is the student's desire to exceed the historical foundation of the school and to be a record breaker from the past to the present. Centering on this new record the new historical tradition of the school can be established and developed.

Centering on the standard of the best marks recorded, the higher up it goes, the greater fame the school establishes and develops. If any record which a student established ten years ago still cannot be broken by any student, that school is said to be an undeveloping school. As long as the school is in the position to run back over the past, it cannot stand in the position to go forward for a new record in the future. On the contrary, if today is better than yesterday, and each tomorrow will become better than each today, the school will be eternally developing. (41-13)

The student with brains doesn't have a day to feel relieved. With good marks in the exams he still feels uneasy about his future.

Getting 98 marks on an exam, he would say with anxiety, "Oh, no! It isn't 100 marks." In this case, if he says, "I missed 2 marks, I will try much harder," he will become the best. On the contrary, if he says, "Yes! It's good enough with 98 marks. I am satisfied with 98 marks," he is going backward.

Let me talk about school. Who is the better, the one who studied very hard passing through the complicated processes, or the one who thinks it is so complicated that he wants to be at the tail end? Which is easier? Zero is a hole, isn't it? It is easy to go out anywhere through the hole. Which is easier, to try to make a hole on a cliff, or to go out through a way of escape? Which is easier?

In the number "100," I think the beating stick "1" is to keep watching the bottom man "0" in front of it. This hole "0" cannot keep as close to the other "0" as it wishes, even if being beaten. It must keep a certain space between them. They are in good order. But, is it good? Anyone who's seeking easy things will meet despair. On the contrary the one who doesn't seek to avoid hardships will meet hope. You have to know it is the nature of the cosmos. Do you understand? (96-190)

Do you want 100 marks or 120 marks, adding 20? All of you want to get 120 marks, don't you? I received as much as 105 marks when I was in school. (laughing) Then, how many marks will your love obtain? (33-281)
