It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.

All man are the same except for their belief in their own selves, regardless of what others may think of them

The way is in training.

Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you.

If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.

Never depart from the way of martial arts.

If you are not progressing along the true way, a slight twist in the mind can become a major twist. This must be pondered well.
