On the other hand, members of weak and inferior organizations have no respect for their leaders. They are always ready to go off on their own to seek personal advancement, because they have no real belief that a Sensei is watching out for them. Such organizations are blown away by the first adverse wind. So you can understand that the political groupings in society are useless for real character building and social unity. We can see that a strong organization must have both outstanding students and outstanding Senseis.
Outstanding students are the most important factor.
In the American Civil War the Northern soldiers, in particular the Army of the Potomac, were repeatedly misled by inferior generals. Therefore, if you are a student, remember always that your attitude toward your Sensei is utterly important. Even the best Senseis, with poor students, have a very difficult time, so be a good student. What we of the USMA are building, what we must build, is a unified, powerful organization united behind the great mission of revitalizing the moral spirit of our Nation through the Martial Arts. The force that will unite us is the concept of the Sensei.
