Wherever you are - be all there.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
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.
