Don't spit against the wind. You need to be in the stream of life. In aikido, in order to defeat an opponent, you need to use his own strength against him, succumb and carry him along.

In the morning I don't want to get out of bed and go to work. And all the same it is necessary, but the forces have already been spent on resistance. Wasted On weekends, we look at the clock again.
