Write Protect Thumb Drive Remover
A week had passed since the father and son embraced to seal the first step at maturity Samurai Kan. The launch of the creation of his personal guard of Seven Samurai. Kan
These seven days he had spent all his friends asking if they wanted to become a Samurai, but only one, his closest friend Goku had joined him.
's grief was deep Kan, he knew that there was nothing more wonderful in this world to be a Samurai, the exquisite skill, the purity of mind and financial relief living was what everyone wanted to achieve. But it seemed that the young apprentice Samurai was unable to convince anyone that his was the best way to achieve those goals. So sorry
decided to ask his father. At that time his father had a huge army of Samurai, all well trained.
An army capable of working together as if one person is involved. Kan
went to see his father Kazo and found he was talking to his army.
These were in training, seven columns. The number perfect.
hundreds of samurai were all in perfect formation. Its clean armor against the bright sun shone. In the handle of his katana swords, sheathed at his waist, wore their positions and merit. Ornaments of gold, silver and diamonds shone everywhere. Their eyes reflected a perfect training safe and years of experience.
The voice of his father roamed the rows filled with pride as hundreds of looks of respect and admiration is directed towards the general unison.
The warm voice, deep and penetrating her father stopped and came together a victory cry from the throat of the Samurai. Kazo
is Aki removed while the first of his personal guard of Seven Samurai took command of the meeting and let the old Samurai rest.
In less than a minute, Khan felt his father's hand on his shoulder, a sign that had to be more alert and quicker. The day he was able to put his hand first on the shoulder of his father, that day would be a Samurai. Meanwhile it was only an apprentice.
- Father, I have failed! - Finally gave the young Samurai - I have not been able to create my personal guard of Seven Samurai, I can not reach the team's strength. Goku just my friend joined me and it was only friendship.
- Son, you have not failed - the look of Kazo communicating understanding, had been there long ago - has just begun, and you still have much to learn.
- If a parent, but I've talked to all my friends have told you the wonders that you and your Samurais, the spirit of teamwork, honor ... everything! and you know what I got? - Kan's face flushed with shame and anger - look at me with strange face, I say it is not possible, What are stories and dreams of a kid! But I know it's true, I've seen with my own eyes and there are things you already do. How I can convince father? How I can do to join me?
Kan was silent, his father looked at him and saw in his eyes a look of absolute faith. Kazo
course, as his father, could do the job for, recruit and train these Seven Samurai, but then his son would not learn. No, should be himself who did, and the old Samurai should teach your child the way as each of the hundreds of soldiers Samurais that had formed over the years.
- Son, how many people have spoken?
- with many parents. Fifteen, maybe twenty.
- And you get twenty one, Kazo, took the first step to becoming a Samurai?
- If father ... but I'm missing six.
- Well, my dear you have been successful Kan, even without knowing how to work properly.
Remember the story of the oyster fishermen, Stauros to get his seven oysters with pearl oysters need one hundred fish. Thus, to get your Seven Samurai have to talk to over a hundred people.
- Many parent ... But I will, I will today!
- Don 'nah son. If you were talking every day with so many people neglect your duties. The first thing to do is organize. Set a schedule. Distribute your time throughout the day. Spend a few hours talking to people about the advantages of being a Samurai, others to practice your skills, acquire other new skills to teach others what you know your team and finally remember to rest to regain strength. Late in the day do a balance of the day. Analyze what you did and meditate on how you could have done better. And most importantly, the last day of the week analyzing what you've done and look for defects or faults that you find in your actions, your way of acting and thinking. Write them down and make a plan of action to remedy the following week. The Samurai is to try to be getting better!
- I'm interested a schedule - the son mused - I can work more efficiently and cost less to get me to do things because the very force of habit compelled me to do the job. Do not you father?
- Exactly son - Old Samurai was very proud of his son, just twelve years was a real promise. I learned very quickly and put everything in their power to be so.
certainly merit one day surpass his father. That would be the best gift that Khan could make his elderly father.
- From now on I will be organizing. And I will put small goals to accomplish. So when the powerful know that I have acted properly.
- know as my son walk a thousand miles?
- No, that's how far behind?
- For step by step thousand leagues are not that many small steps that together make a huge distance. The only way to travel is one step after another. If we do this by dividing the distance traveled in ninety days and each day of eight hours away, and each hour into sixty minutes ... we will discover that only five steps in a minute for three months to get to travel a thousand leagues. Do you think a lot of five steps in a minute?
- No father! - He laughed's apprentice Samurai - It's easy to take five steps in a minute! I look like! - And rising had five steps, turned around and gave another five steps to his father - see ten feet in a minute and still I have time to rest!
- Well, this should work just as dear son, little by little, in an organized and without pause. Do that and in less time than you think you have your own team of Seven Samurai!

Brown Mucus Discharge After Period
Kan scanned the trees. Kazo His father was less than two steps.
A single jump and be above it. Although Khan was just a kid, the surprise would be an advantage.
was time for a nap and his father, the old Samurai, slept soundly confident. His abdomen up and down slowly. This time it won the young apprentice Samurai.
At that moment a hand was laid on the shoulder of Kan. It was a sign that he had lost the game. But ... It could not be! His father was asleep! What was it that happened? Samurai
The novice looked back and saw Aki, one of the Seven Samurai of his father.
- That's not true - Kan replied with her wounded pride - it is against my father against whom the game, you have nothing to do. - Had been so close to winning ... and yet his father had returned to beat. And this time when asleep!
An outbreak of cholera took hold of his young corps of twelve years and ran into the forest replied as his sword katana against his armor.
- Ha! Here are my son - Kazo whispered in the ear of his son - My faithful Aki told me what happened. Kan
felt the soft, warm hand of his father in the shoulder while the serious and penetrating voice of his father permeated his thoughts.
- Yes father, I have escaped, but lost! and I'm outraged!
- Dear Kan, sometimes you lose and you'd never altered in this way. Why this anger
so unlike you? - Kazo's words were reassuring as she sat on a flimsy branch next to her son.
- Father is the question you were asleep and still I won. At first I did not recognize. But the truth is that it does not matter that it was your hand or Aki which touched me. Same purpose lost. And that eats me. - The girl's eyes radiated a promise Samurai Although stalled in the heart of his father.
- My son. What did you learn from this incident?
Kan's eyes were riveted on her father's questions. "Learning? There was something to learn ... if anything, but still it was very far away, I could feel but not know exactly what it was.
- Ah! Kan dear, you have left so much to learn ... and promise so much - The old man's eyes reflected a pride Samurai impossible to hide, he had seen that little Samurai began to see the light and decided to help - I'll tell you a story that will get you out of doubt:
"There were once, in a far away land to the west, beyond the boundaries of Our Empire, two fishermen Oyster called Stauros and Giorgos. Stauros was very successful, but Giorgos could hardly support his family.
Stauros One day he offered to dive with Giorgos to help.
were both together at the beach and Giorgos dived to the bottom of a clear waters and soft. Basically oyster found a great big and strong, with bright shiny and thought "this oyster will make me rich!", so he grabbed with his knife that one oyster and took her to the surface very calmly and carefully. Barely made it to the beach and sit on its fine white sand when he drew his knife and began to open to pick up the pearl oyster.
Stauros, surprised that his friend out of water soon also left the water and looking puzzled asked, "Why have you come so soon?" and seeing the oyster in the hands of Giorgos said, "You wasted all that energy to get just an oyster!"
"I know what I do," Giorgos replied "I have a feeling this oyster. There is something special"
Stauros Giorgos watched in silence as God opened the oyster my, there was no pearl in the oyster! Giorgos closed oyster carefully and began to cradle her in his warm hands ...
"What are you doing now?" Stauros asked.
"I believe in the oyster," said Giorgos stubbornly "If the care and keep it hot, perhaps it will make a pearl for me, thanks"
Shaking her head at the Giorgos obstinadez, Stauros went to dive into the warm waters the sea. It was getting late and needed to work. So while tending his oyster Giorgos special rocking in his arms, dived Stauros 100 oysters alone and put in your bucket, then went to the beach and was opening them one by one. Each oyster Pearl had not returned to the water.
A sunset Giorgos still shaking their empty oyster.
"Any luck?" Giorgos
ask "yes" answer Stauros brand "I had to return to the sea to ninety-three oysters.
however seven had a pearl inside. Tonight take my wife to the pub to celebrate!"
"Stauros. Whenever you're lucky!" Giorgos sighed resignedly in his arms cradling his empty oyster. "
After it stopped the soft voice of the old Samurai, Kan in the imagination of the two fishermen were still living oysters. Kazo kept quiet, hoping that wisdom printed in the old story about oyster fishermen settle in the brain of his young son.
- Father, I think I understand the history - Kan said at last - but I do not see how it relates to me win.
- Express your thoughts out loud child, so I can help.
- Giorgos's mistake was to trust their fortunes to a single oyster, instead of searching among many as did his companion. Stauros collected many oysters, and only those who had stayed with pearls. The rest fell apart. So it was more fortunate than Giorgos father does not it?
- No child - corrected the old Samurai - Stauros was just lucky that Giorgos, only knew his job better. As I know ours better than you. The wisdom of Stauros was to collect many oysters and hosting only those who had an oyster inside. It was also wise to return them to sea, for those same oysters later, perhaps within the next year had to pick an oyster. Do you understand now?
- Yes, but I still see our gaming relationship with father.
- Dear Kan, you've spent a detail. How many pearl oysters was Stauros?
- Seven ... - Suddenly a flash of understanding sailed through the eyes of the young apprentice - Sure! Now I understand! Seven oysters and seven Samurai. Each oyster is a Samurai, a warrior with the unique characteristics of that which There are a few among hundreds.
- What I mean is that Stauros was fortunate in having seven pearls ... to Seven Samurai I were talking about pearls! - Kan glanced accusing his elderly father who had set a subtle trap - Giorgos fortune that had not waste time with empty oyster while Stauros managed to find his Seven Samurai, with its seven oysters with pearls in a sea full oyster worthless. It was only seven oysters were really special and had Pearl, which represent the great fortune to have a perfect team. And the rest of the worthless oysters back to the warm sea that were not sufficiently developed to have beads and were still maturing.
- Correct child - adopted the proud father
- Exactly! Kan, now you've earned extra dessert!
- But father, I can not see the connection ... I agree that there is no greater fortune than to have your team ... Seven Samurai but what has that to do with our game.
- What I tell you son, is that stronger, even for a Samurai is not in his own ability or strength, or the sharp edge of his sword. Its true force is on your computer. Today was the test. - Aki's eyes reflected an infinite love for his son - Today has been your harmlessly who attacked me in her sleep, but other days can one person with much worse intentions to touch me on the shoulder. Although that day comes, I will be able to continue sleeping peacefully, because I know I have Seven Samurai that help me day and night, even when I sleep. Kan
finally understood, he had taken a dislike, an anger and a story, but at last understood. The real strength of a Samurai is teamwork. A Samurai is not only difficult to destroy. But Seven Samurai CAN MOVE THE WORLD! Suddenly an idea sailed by his head.
- Father! - Said excitedly - "I can I start building my own watch Seven Samurai?
- Sure son, that's what I've told this story.
- however, am not yet a true Samurai, I'm just an apprentice ... - Said while watching a fallen leaf on the floor - How can I train if I'm still not prepared myself?
- It is true that are not yet a fully fledged Samurai. What did you are an apprentice and as such know secrets you can teach - explained the patient's father - When I started teaching Aki, it was just a learner like you. I taught every day what he knew and was learning. We move together on the road of life on the path of the Samurai. After more Samurais were joining us and together we teach.
Gradually we went from being two to be an invincible army of Samurais. You must do the same. Samurai is your job as you do it?
- Father, I want to be a Samurai like you. Of course I will! And a hug
sealed his pact.

Upscale Baseball Themed Centerpieces
Who was Bruce Lee?
"Empty your mind, be formless, malleable, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, if you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle, if you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or you can crush. Be like water my friend, running water never stagnates, so we must continue to flow. "
Much has been made of the life of Bruce Lee, a true legend of the martial arts. Consider the main ideas dunks in that interview, because they still so vivid and meaningful as they were in their time.
The self
Bruce Lee said that when he taught martial arts, in fact self-taught, and people did not come to him to learn at beating his neighbor, but to be able to express through your body, knowing every corner.
"There are those who control their movements too, but with control over only gets to be too concerned about the execution."
The idea was that when you download the mind of the responsibility of having to control everything that makes the body free-flowing movements, naturally, and that experience enables the practitioner to know himself.
He wondered: How can you express yourself honestly at all times? In fact, for him, martial arts are to be able to express with sincerity, something very difficult to achieve. The martial artist who does this sincerity, does not remain in tension is relaxed, as absent, but be aware to what can happen that way:
"... I do not give the blow ... the coup was given alone."
Bruce Lee criticized the dogmatism of the different schools, because this believe in the power of the truth about martial arts, their differences. Who followed one or another school became a product of that school, while the ideal is to have a style, an expression always crystallized and static scheme, that way, refusing to be the product of a style, is entering a process continued growth.
duality and harmony
The idea of \u200b\u200bduality in human beings was also present in philosophy martial arts. He said that on the one hand is the natural instinct, which is irrational, and secondly, the need to be aware and therefore control. In that sense, Bruce Lee argued that both trends is to combine in harmony, achieving a delicate balance. If you lean towards the end of the instinctive are unscientific, the experience is out of hand. And if you lean to the point of not trusting yourself and wanting to control everything, then you become an automaton, a machine running heavy and predictable movements. To him it was losing a large extent, the human condition. Had to combine both trends well.
"... is not purely natural or purely unnatural, the ideal is the natural unnaturalness or unnatural naturalness. "
to the challenges
To Bruce Lee's life was a process of self full of challenges and growth step by step, day after day. The challenges were meaningful, what matters is not its difficulty but our reaction to them, how we dominate and are dominated by us.
If you feel secure, comfortable with himself, no doubt, may face challenges without fear. So you have to be yourself able to express themselves and have faith in what we are, in our chances.
The biggest mistake you could commission was to find a character that has these characteristics and try to imitate.
"... people copy the behavior and does not begin with the root of your self, do not ask how I can be myself?"
Life was for Bruce Lee as a game, an illusion. Do not be blinded by it, do not copy previous molds good they are, or memorize dogmatic teachings that take us away from the freshness and spontaneity of the human being.
