                                                           TRAINING




                         A warrior knows that proper training means the difference between survival and death.

                         A warrior does not expect to win a battle without knowing how to use the weapons of
                                                              war.

                         A wise warrior creates a training system that is easily understood and focuses on what
                                                       needs to be learned.

                         A wise chief has a tribe where all members are trained to use the weapons of war even
                                                 if they are women and children.

                                      Warriors are trained to become and extension of their horse.

                              A warrior will freeze in the winter if he did not learn how to build a teepee.

                                           Hunting requires training, practice and discipline.

                         A tribe of farmers will never defeat a tribe of warriors in battle without proper training.

                            A wise warrior knows that training of the young ensures the survival of the tribe.

                              Proper training ensures that weapons will be made correctly and built to last.

                          A wise chief understands that continued training of his leaders is required for them to
                                           remain skillful, knowledgeable and effective.

                        Great warriors know that quality weapons come through proper training of the weapons
                                                             makers.

                         The warrior who trains others must be patient with the student and must convince them
                                             of the importance of true understanding.

                        A wise warrior will encourage those who fail to try again. They know that failure can be
                                                         a great teacher.

                                      The wise warrior knows that training is the key to success.

                                   Without proper or adequate training, one cannot expect perfection.

                         To condemn someone for the lack of performing a complex task when he received no
                                   training to perform it, is like expecting a rabbit to catch a fish.

                                      To say training has no value is to close the mind to reality.
