" Kyoboku kazeoshi."

"The taller the tree, the stronger the wind that pushes against it."

- Japanese proverb 

 
" What we get by force, by force we will have to retain it.

What we get unlawfully, will always lack legitimacy.

Let it be then the result of work,

heart and effort that brings everything to me

and may it remain with me."

 "What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind."

- Budha 

This was something I was asked several days ago...  

Let's see:

• Do saving children lives from death at a Nursery Intensive Care or Emergency Room count?.
• Do receiving a drowned child at my office, performing the resuscitation and taking her to an Emergency Room; and saving her life without any brain damage count?.
• Do working against all expectations to be where I am as a martial artist count?.
• Do opening a dojo with almost all beginners and developing and teaching them how to...from scratch counts?.

What it will be?...

Sensei Myriam 

"... The world is sacred.

It can't be improved.

If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it.

If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it..."
