The great 17th century samurai warrior, Miyamoto Mushashi was as wise as an owl, and highly skilled in the arts, poetry, and music; not to mention, a highly skilled swordsman as well. "He was a Jack of all trades, and a master of them all." Below you will find the strategy to his success, and discover how you can apply his wisdom to excel in the hustle and bustle of today's everyday life. Although he lived in Japan's era of the Wild Wild West, Musashi survived and excelled in life, and became a legend in his own lifetime, winning all sixty major battles he encountered throughout Japan.
