no. 477

TAKEN FROM "HOW TO BE MAN" WRITTEN BY KAJIWARA IKKI SOMETIME DURING THE 60'S:

Rule. 1
Never create superficial work.
Pour your blood into the ink.

Rule. 2
Never chase after popularity, which is transcient as a flower.
Dig deep in the earth and pull down the roots.

Rule. 3
No matter how much status you attain, you must never have regrets.
If the choice is between peace and the storm, choose the storm.

Rule. 4
If you should fail, never cry.
Study your failure and let it give birth to succcess.

Rule. 5
Even if you obey the previous rules, never think you alone are right.
Learn from everything and everyone around you.


A well known shonen author, the reference can be found in Bakuman manga chapter 5 page 16-17
