Question: There are many things we will have to do as we grow up and go out to the world, aren't there? Then, we have to know many people and should be able to speak foreign languages well. So I think it would be good to try such things as pen pals and gain much knowledge about societies

A: You can do those things after you finish your studies and get a job. When your interest is so spread out, you cannot focus on your specialized field. You cannot be good at either, then. So you should choose one. You may need pen pals and friendships, but the most important thing is your study. It is most precious to be faithful in your own position and do the best there. You can do anything else after it is over. When you are writing a book, for instance, you should finish one page and then write the next one. It is not good to start writing the next page without finishing the first one. You should go up step by step, and then what you have worked on will become yours; but if you stop your work in the middle, then it will end up having nothing to do with you. This will even be worse than not having started it. So you don't have to think about things like pen pals now. You don't have to go out for activities, either. Just trying to do the best according to the school regulations is the most precious. So study calmly.

If you study well, your superiors will take care of it without your asking for it at all. Do you understand? If all the students and teachers praise you, then you will be chosen to go to America and study, although you may decline it. Although you don't think about the world problems, people of the world will welcome you and bring you forward in the world. On the contrary, no matter how big a dream you have and engage in international exchanges now, it will not work. So the one who does well in his own area will be promoted by the whole and sent to the high position. This is the heavenly principle and principle of creation. So do not worry; learn to be faithful with the given reality. (100-140)
