We must not spend our time
simply responding to
constant demands.

We must not lose ourselves
in the bothersome matters
that arise around us.

No matter how busy we are,
there is something we should focus on
beyond the hustle and bustle.

Even when work piles up,
the calling that reveals the theme of our life
comes to us.

So that we can focus our entire mind
toward a single purpose
at that moment,

So that we can pour all our strength
into a single point
at that moment,

We must be prepared.
We must set our mind aligned.
