The attitude, 'You can win if you want to badly enough,' means that the will to win is constant. No amount of punishment, no amount of effort, no condition is too 'tough' to take in order to win. Such an attitude can be developed only if winning is closely tied to the practitioner's ideals and dreams.

I've come to understand that life is best lived, not conceptualized.

Do not have an attitude, open yourself and focus yourself and express yourself. Reject external form that fails to express internal reality.

A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept the consequences of his own doing.

One great cause of failure is lack of concentration.

When we suddenly awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and never has been, one realizes that one is all things mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself. There is no longer a division or barrier between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation or fear there is nothing apart from oneself and therefore nothing to fear. Realizing this results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself but, on the contrary, as one's own body.

Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
