-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho say: 
"The lion king is said to advance three steps
then gather himself to spring" *
No matter how small the task involved,
let's put our all into it 
and accomplish it well!
The resolve to win no matter what,
is what writes the chapters 
of a victorious history!

*Gosho: Reply to Kyō'ō - WND, Vol. I, page 412, "The lion king is said to advance three steps, then gather himself to spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal."
