You young people all want to become successful and famous, right? Gloriously? That's not simple. There is a saying in Korea that the pagoda made with great labor will not collapse easily. There is some truth in this. When I go somewhere, Reverend Moon's philosophy is that I will never return without doing something good. Whenever I went somewhere, I did not come back until I was able to leave behind a good result. (144-301) In order to become successful religiously or economically, you cannot realize your goal unless you first suffer a loss. If a businessmen plays around like a scamp without working hard, will he be able to succeed? You must work hard. You must go through the hardship of mind and body. In order to overcome all the hardships and sufferings inside and out, you must devote your entire being. Then you will be able to succeed. Also, by showing that you have suffered loss, then you will be able to overcome difficulties, and success will come back to you which equals the amount of your loss. (26-47) What is the key to success? You must become a person who can connect all of his or her feelings and want to go anywhere for the sake of the goal. Does that kind of a person succeed very quickly or very slowly? He or she will succeed very quickly, right? He or she will meet the success very quickly. Even if you don't meet it, you will be able to meet it in your dreams. (63-60) What is Reverend Moon's key to success even in the midst of persecution? What has that key been in the course of my life? When the United States opposed me, I stood in the position equal to God's and went on forward in the name of God, standing the United States on an equal footing with me. I did it by the name of God! It was not possible to penetrate that wall with power. Money could not do that. It was not possible by machinery. Not even human wisdom could do that. (166-163) In order to succeed, live for the sake of the whole. (15-289) Those who continuously go forward will definitely succeed. (186-93)
