2--you can only succeed when you surrender for failure resides within your own fears and doubts and desires. So only in surrendering the self do you strip away the unwanted and unecessary that keeps you from succeeding. In pball terms you can only play to your best when it doesn't matter whether you are eliminated or not or whether you win or lose in the moment that you are acting. The Tao of Baca Loco :D
1. People gotta stop saying I kidnapped Princess Buttercup. It was totally consentual.

2. 'Fess up on your sources Baka-san: "The Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death...It means to see things through being resolved...and consider yourself as a dead body, thus becoming one with the Way of the warrior, you can pass through life with no possibility of failure and perform your office properly." "When you thinking rises above concern for your own welfare, wisdom which is independent of thought appears." -- all from A Book of Five Rings.

Not quite the same thing, Steve-san, because your context is duty--which tends to permeate Japanese thought while my point to Hotpoint was a matter of being (in the context of playing the game.) Remember, there is and there isn't. :D

Ai donto sink so, Baka-san. I've already quoted too much. Read it in the context and you'll see that he's saying that you'll do a better job if you don't think about yourself so much, get rid of your own performance anxiety. Just what you were talking about. It's all subject to individual interpretation, however.
