Naritomi Hyogo - On Achieving Victory
“To win over your enemy is to first win over your allies. To win over your allies is to win over yourself. To win over yourself is for you to win over your body by means of your spirit.”
“Train your body and mind well in advance, as if you were among tens of thousands of allies, then there is no one who will follow after you. Allies are required to win - you cannot go alone.”
Naritomi Hyogo was a brave #Samuraiwarrior (#bushi) involved in a naval attack on Korean forces. In one particular battle, his ship was first to engage the enemy, inspiring courage and unity among the Japanese side. His loyalty was tested on multiple occasions as he was made a #Ronin (#masterlesssamurai) numerous times to prove himself.
