Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
