Ki Sayings (2003)
Context: Some people are quick to find reasons and excuses why they cannot do things. This cuts their Ki and in times stifles their motivation altogether. Motivation is extending Ki, not receiving it. People today are more concerned with what they can get, than what they can give or do for others. That is why they cannot extend Ki. <!-- Even our own training can be as intoku or good done in secret. Because someday it will bear fruit in the ability to help others develop.
“The truth isn't a thing of fact or reason. It is simply what everyone agrees on.”
