I myself am an outsider, as I have not lived in Japan since I was 12, but I am still a Japanese -- so I am constantly learning about my own origin through these types of experience. There's a word in Japanese called "konjo." It's used in sports a lot. It means perseverance, but with a twist -- it doesn't include grudging. They look at it as positive thing, to have to persevere something, as it builds character. It's funny because I understand that it's a value that's getting increasingly lost in modern Japan.

If children, any age, listen very carefully they will be surprised at how powerful they are. Listening is a great tool in life, business and marriage, however, understanding the true meaning of what was said is just as important. Become a careful listener ?

I was actually reading it in my feed reader before i knew which site it came from so don't think badly about this but I'm very surprised / impressed :) I don't get to watch UFC / MMA as I never turn on the TV over here in South Africa but you told a great story.
