Kendo is much like life itself. It has taught me many things. I won't strike 'Men' merely by extending my hands forward. I must first move my body towards my opponent, and then strike. The order of these actions is crucial.
Life follows the same rule. To reach a goal, I must first move my body closer to it. Simply reaching out won't get me there.
Therefore, if I don't have a foundation, I must first establish it. If I need results, strengthening this foundation is essential.
