     the Bamboo
9   Lessons from
    the Bamboo
(1) Remember: What looks
    weak is strong
Be Like Bamboo (TEDxTokyo 2011 slides)
fragile is strong.
What looks
You do n  ot have to
b e big to b e strong.
“   Size matters not. Look
    at me. Judge me by my
    size do you? Hmm?
                       ”
              —Master Yoda
You do not have to be scary, and big like a
  dark forest.


Strength in the light,
in kindness & compassion

(4) Slow down your busy mind
We cannot see our reflection
in running water...
It is only in still water that we can see.
                             —Taoist proverb
This is a video without sound.
(5) Be always ready
“
The warrior, like bamboo,
is ever ready for action.
            —Kensho Furuya
                             ”
(6 ) Find wisdom in emptiness
“
Empty your cup so that

                 ”
it may be filled...
           —Bruce Lee
“   You must unlearn what
    you have learned.
                     ”
              —Master Yoda
(7 ) Commit yourself
     to growth & renewal
Even a 100 foot stalk of bamboo
 can progress one more step.
(8 ) Express your usefulness
     through simplicity
“
The bamboo in its simplicity
expresses its usefulness. Man
should do the same.
                    ”
               — Kensho Furuya

  moving forward.... That’s
  how winning is done!
                        ”
