"Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective." - Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese swordsman and rōnin who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He is considered one of the greatest and most famous swordsmen in Japanese history, with a legendary status as undefeatable swordsman. However, Musashi's legacy extends far beyond his martial prowess. He is also remembered for his philosophical writings, particularly "The Book of Five Rings," a treatise on strategy and tactics that has been widely read by martial artists and businesspeople alike.
In addition, Musashi is also credited with writing the "Dokkōdō," a series of 21 principles for living a more fulfilling life. The word "dokkōdō" can be translated as "the way of walking alone," and the principles contained within it reflect Musashi's beliefs about the importance of self-reliance and individualism.
These principles reflect Musashi's belief that true strength and fulfillment come from within, and that we should not be swayed by external factors such as the opinions of others or our physical surroundings.
