The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
As I grew up, I was continually to suffer hardships in different realms of life - in my family, in my relationship to Japanese society and in my way of living at large in the latter half of the twentieth century.
