Thought for the Week (May 7th, 2001)
Sensei Lorenzo Aguon

-------------------------------------------------------------- 

This weeks thought comes from Indira Gandhi:

"You cannot shake hands with a clinched fist"

We may physically train every day of our lives clinching our fists in all the katas we do. However, we need to keep our minds open to all our surroundings and people we share this world with. 

It is important to take what we learn in Karate and use it to find foundation in our lives and keep an open awareness 
of what goes on around us.

It takes a strong warrior to win a conflict, but 
an even stronger warrior to avoid conflict. 

Arigato, 
Sensei Lorenzo Aguon
