Kato Kiyomasa Quotes
One should put forth great effort in matters of learning. One should read books concerning military matters, and direct his attention exclusively to
the virtues of loyalty and filial piety. Reading Chinese poetry, linked
verse, and waka is forbidden. One will surely become womanized if he gives
his heart such knowledge of such elegant and delicate refinements. Having
been born into the house of a warrior, one's intentions should be to grasp
the long and the short swords and to die

If I had to probably define and characterize my job, and maybe the job of a CEO today in this global world, highly volatile, uncertain, and when you need to transform is to be the catalyst for change. That's probably the definition I would give to my job. I'm the catalyst.
