Mas Oyama
Aspirations must be pure and free of selfishness. Arising from the depths of the soul, aspirations are spiritual demands penetrating all of a human life and making it possible for a person to die for their sake. A person without aspirations is like a ship without a rudder or a horse without a bridle. Aspirations give consistent order to life.
Mas Oyama

Mas Oyama
The most important are the eyes. In a fight if you look down out of fear you'll certainly be defeated
