Be the Hero to the Fullest " Whenever I encounter a trial or a obstacle, I just regard it as another of life's dramas and I face it head on.  We are all the protagonists in the drama of our own lives so we may as well play our role as the hero to the fullest. Its especially important for the young people to have this attitude. If we react to everything that happens with surprise, panic, complaint and sadness, we can't be a hero. We will just end up ruining the whole drama ." Dr Daisaku Ikeda Storytelling is a powerful tool, which inspires the audience and builds the reputation/brand of the storyteller too.
