"I don't mind a lie... if it's interesting."

- from Rashomon

Here we are in your dream.

You have the basic skills but your eyes give you away. Become unpredictable, strike from your subconscious mind. Let your moves flow out from your individual essence. Even the most masterful opponent will fall from a strike that has no history or reference. The moves created from your own unique individual essence may surprise even you.

"Rest not. Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time."

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

If you wish to have beautiful eyes you must gaze upon beautiful things.

My best creative thinking occurs when I'm in the bathroom, not when I'm at my desk.

"To this moment, and the moment yet to come."

- James Bond, Man with the Golden Gun

Will you train harder than your opponents will today?

Should I accept that it might be impossible and endure the consequences that I set myself up for? Even if my spirit is indomitable... there may be limits to what is possible.
