Dedicate yourself to the things before you with a straight and pure mind.
No matter what is happening around you, no matter who is overtaking you, you single-mindedly do what you must do.
In this way, you will develop an unshakable confidence and a self that is unmoved by things. You can go your own way without being distracted by others or the world.
It doesn’t matter if you are unskillful, it doesn’t matter how many years it takes, just find something you can keep doing without giving up. You will find that people will be amazed at your extraordinary skill and knowledge, you will be respected, and your will gain confidence in yourself. – K.Kato
