"I wanted to become a person who could take away the tears that flowed from people’s eyes and the sorrow that was in their hearts. When I was lying in the forest listening to the songs of the birds, I would think ‘The world needs to be made as warm and tender as those songs. I should become someone who makes people’s lives as fragrant as flowers.’ I didn’t know what career I should pursue to accomplish that, but I became convinced that I should be a person who could give happiness to people."
