things I've learned from Zatoichi (for now)

• If one of your senses fail, perfect the others
• Never be the first to draw the sword
• Eating doesn't have to look pretty
• Don't just be good - be great
• Status/Title doesn't make you any less a person then anyone else
• Wondering around doesn't have to be aimless
• If you have a sword (tool) make sure it's the best
• The only long term relation is with yourself (your family)
