" Karate: it is a path in which one strives to improve one's character. It
requires feelings of respect for your opponents, which in turn fosters a
round and open personality. It also requires the ability to control your use
of strength and technique. The techniques that you spend time polishing
and developing must have practical application to your everyday life. It
requires the ability to overcome any hardship one is face with."

"When you are looking at people use their eyes."

Human beings are animals that continuously change and each period in
your life is accomplished by some new characteristic. The twenties and
thirties are spent making the foundations and is a time of upward
movement. The forties and fifties are a time when you build on that and
take the role of teacher. Ideally your sixties and seventies is time to step
back from the front line and hand the reins to the younger instructors
while offering a supporting role base on the wisdom of experience.
