In your training, do not be in a hurry, for it takes a minimum of ten years to master the basics and advance to the first rung. Never think of yourself as an all-knowing, perfected master; you must continue to train daily with your friends and students and progress together in the Art of Peace.

Morihei UeshibaLife itself is always a trial. In training, you must test and polish yourself in order to face the great challenges of life.
