*Last Instruction of Ieyasu



Ieyasu Tokugawa left admonition. Although, it was arranged after his death, Ieyasu's philosophy is expressed well. He finally unified entire Japan after he endured and endured.

Lifetime of human is like a going a distant way
Should not hurry up
There will be no shortage if getting along with full time inconvenience
Remember the hardship if there is no hope in mind
Patience is a foundation of long time safety
Anger is enemy
Damage will come if always winning
Reproach for own, but not for others
Lack is more valuable than too much
