What's your motivational/inspirational UY line/chapter/scene

Post by nekobasu380 »

When I was given my email and messenger application during my first few days in my current job... I thought if I can put in some status on my messenger like what I used to in my old workplace. Then I remembered Katsuichi telling this to young Usagi (Samurai, part III) :

"Everyday of our lives is an education. You must strive to learn something new each day."

Since then it became my personal status and general motivation mantra in the workplace.

Now, my question is... what line by any of the series' characters, a particular chapter or scene that made an impact in your life, or motivated you especially when you're in a deep rut (e.g. tragedy or discouragement)? :D

Always loved Kitsune's philosophy of "A girl has to do what she can to get by" :D

I love the one where a Master says that a young Usagi needs to be taught a lesson or something like that and then years later, Usagi tracks down the Master and it looks like Usagi is thinking about getting ready to teach the Old Master "A lesson" in fighting and instead Usagi is pure class and bows down to the older Master and thanks him for the lesson many years ago.

I really love that one.

Yeah, that one is a neat story.
