Miyamoto Musashi Part One

One of the most famous samurai of Japan, Miyamoto Musashi, wrote the Book of Five Rings. In it, Musashi explains both his philosophy on life and fighting. Throughout it, he states that this or that skill is difficult, it will take much time to learn. This brings me to a point I want to make. People who want to learn something, a skill or a trade, think only of the end result. Consequently, this filters out people who are douchey or misguided because in the end, they are unprepared to sacrifice their time and energy towards their goal. Look at those people who achieved power and did whatever it is they wanted to do, like Musashi, and you will see a person who focused on the process, not the result.
