Datingtips fra samuraier

Det viser seg at alt jeg har lært om dating, har jeg lært fra vår alles favoritt-shogun, Ieyasu Tokugawa (1543 - 1616).
Her er noen av tipsene hans:

"If thou knowest only what it is to conquer, and knowest not what it is to be defeated, woe unto thee; it will fare ill with thee."

"Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not."

"Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair."

"Find fault with thyself rather than with others."

"When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through."

"Give the peasants neither life nor death." <-- litt usikker på hvordan jeg skal overføre betydningen av denne.

For ikke å glemme:

"To come to know your enemy, first you must become his friend,
and once you become his friend, all his defences come down.
Then you can choose the most fitting method for his demise."

Han var skikkelig flink i Engelsk! :p

Ikke dum han derre Tokugawa. :o)
Minte meg litt om en annen smarting jeg har veldig sansen for, som sikkert mange andre kan like også:

-Try not. Do...or do not. There is no try.

-Size matters not.

-Always in motion is the future.

-All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was.

-Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say, hmmm?
