Miyamoto Musashi Reflection Paper

When I first decided to expand my education, it had been so long since I had been to school, and I was very hesitant. I talked at length about my decision with my husband and with his encouragement, decided to enroll but still was not quite sure which degree program to enroll in. I knew that this was something that I had always wanted to do since I obtained my Associates Degree in Nursing, but I did not have the courage, nor did I want to give up the time with my family and children. I second guessed my abilities and my knowledge because it had been so long since I had been in college. Now that my children are about to graduate high school and

Lao-Tzu’s stand on war is not what one might expect; he believes that peace has more power than war and that all men with a good set of morals look down upon the men who seek to fight. Along with war being an unnecessary product of compromise, Lao-Tzu view’s weapons as a disgrace as well; this idea is shown on page 209 when he adds, “Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them.” He later then states, “There is no greater illusion than fear, no greater wrong than preparing to defend yourself, no greater misfortune than having an enemy,” (page 210). Lao-Tzu detests war and sees it as a shame to even take part of the hate that is involved with fighting. On the other hand, Machiavelli suggests that it is fit for a leader to show close to perfect fighting techniques on and off the battlefield. War is shown as a lesson of fortitude for leaders during his time, Machiavelli explains, “Its institution, and its discipline; because that is the only profession which befits one who commands; and it is of such importance,” (page 221). He later discusses, on page 222, how a leader must train in his free time to prepare and become the most powerful fighter of all the men by mentioning, “and in peacetime he must train himself more than in time of war; this can be done in two ways: one by action, the other by the mind.” One can conclude that Machiavelli defines a strong leader through both psychological warfare and hand to hand combat. He also sees war as a learning curve for the men who wish to become a leader; Machiavelli’s understanding off a strong leader

Before attending GCU and using the sources that they provide, I normally would use resources and tools that were provided by various universities. Two notable examples that I would use where Purdue University's OWL and also Calvin College's KnightCite. OWL is a particularly helpful source since it offers a wide variety of articles regarding various topics that play a key role within successful writing. KnightCite was also a source I widely used because of the fact that it was a great way in order to get MLA (which I used in high school) citations for works used in my papers. However, nowadays I mainly use the sources provided by GCU such as the writing center which I have found to be quite helpful. In particular, I enjoy the templates provided

“The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on”.

I had multiple discussions following our recent exposure issue on PUID/PassportID field, and a general consensus was that we could use CID instead of PUID for drive various scenarios around profile fanout and expansion.

Positioning is Power and power is ‘the Respect of the enemy’, not being too far, nor standing too close. ‘Stand in Peace’ (Mushin).

He first and foremost valued his own personal achievement, and this set him apart in a country “increasingly marked by conformity” (Lone Samurai 196). There comes a point, however, where a heroic figure goes from standing out because of what makes him different from society at large to a potential threat to order. Historically, Musashi learned how to be a samurai on his own without any formal teacher (Book of Five Rings 4). Although he observed others for insight into the pros and cons of various fighting styles and strategies, ultimately all interpretation of what this meant and how it should be applied came down not to any ancient philosophers or even modern teachers, but instead Musashi himself. However, in a society increasingly concerned with the strict following of certain beliefs and codes by the entire populace, such self-possession is dangerous and thus the teaching a character so exemplified by it is a recipe for disorder and problems.

The Art of War is not just limited to an effort of who has the best weapons out in the battlefield, it is also fought at home. The person who is leading the war effort must consider the populations morale, logistics and pay close attention to detail all while finding the best and least costly way to win battles and ensure final victory. It is essential for any leader to keep the majority of the populace supporting the war or all may be lost to do this the leader must set out a goal or a clear vision. The leader also has to worry about troop morale, logistics, and other aspects that may arise during war. A leader has to use influence, aurhority and persuasive power to not only overcome these obsticles to ensure victory but also that the cost for victory is something that is clearly communicated with the people.

Composer Hans Hansen once said, “It takes nothing to join the crowd, but it takes everything to stand alone.” To be successful, one must do what they want, not what the rest of society wants. Shigeru Miyamoto is a Japanese concept artist born in 1952. He entered the field of video game design in hopes of expressing his inner artist (“Shigeru Miyamoto,” 2004). Miyamoto created some the most popular video game titles of the current age, innovating ways to overcome not designing games in the modern style of game design, and illuminating the world by progressing recreational entertainment through art.
