So kids don't give up.
What made me start a homepage was when I saw Michael Jordan of NBA
on TV communicating with the kids of the world.
Also, I wanted to tell you what I learned from being a sumo wrestler.
When I first went on a trip from my hometown to Waikiki, I received
a culture shock. I thought I was in a different country.
That's when I first learned that the world was really big.
And after I came to Japan and rose up the ranks of the sumo world
I found a new world opening up in front of me.
When you are a small-town boy your world is very limited
and its hard to have a dream or to say it differently you don't know
what kind of possibilities there are waiting for you in the big real world.
There should be a lots of kids out there with a lot of
talent but who don't know that.
So kids, open your eyes to the world and go after your dream.
There's a challenging new world waiting for you.
I know you all have talent so put your efforts into it and make it happen.
I'll be waiting for you. Aloha!
Konishiki
