“In important matters, a ‘strong’ effort usually results in only mediocre results. [EY: This is so true.] Whenever we are attempting anything truly worthwhile our effort must be as if our life is at stake, just as if we were under a physical attack!”—“Flashing Steel: Mastering Eishin-Ryu Swordsmanship” by Masayuki Shimabukuro and Leonard J. Pellman
