Lord Naoshige

'' If one has no vigour and spirit, one cannot thrust a spear properly. If one only feels prim and proper about everything, one's heart gets constricted and one cannot work like a man. One has to feel stretched taut like a drawn bow, and at times one has to talk in a grandiloquent way - then one can fulfil the work of a bushi.'' Nabeshima Naoshige in the art of the samurai (Hagakure) from Yamamoto Tsunetomo's translated to English by Barry D. Steben and rented from aikidoka Barry :)

Seize the day

The earth rotating to the sun and again away from the sun, night and light.There is enough time between this rotation to the sun and away from the sun to fulfill one's happiness or one's experience. ( though I think that everyone wants to be happy to feel loved and give it )

Don't use you're time in doing something you don't like, but use it in something you enjoy doing.When something needs to be done and you're not enjoying it simply change the way you think about it, see what it can bring to you if you do it, see the jolly in it.

Carpe diem, mine friend, carpe diem.
