More Samurai Wisdom, and quite possibly the single best bit of advice I have ever encountered:

Human Life is truly a short affair. It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live within this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things that you do not like. But it is important never to tell this to young people as it is something that would be harmful if incorrectly understood.

Personally, I like to sleep. And I intend to appropriately confine myself more and more to my living quarters and pass my life away sleeping.

--Yamamoto Tsunetomo, from Hagakure trans. b William Scott Wilson

Incredible wisdom. So sayeth I.
