The Way of the Bow

hi, another recommended book for you :)
This book is about archery. It's a short read but nicely written.

So the master of archery is explain some rules like postures, how to hold the arrow, how to hold the bow, how to draw the bow string, how to look at the target, the moment of releasing the arrow, how to observe the flight of the arrow, and more.
The bow is life: the source of all energy.
The arrow will leave one day.
The target is a long way off.
But the bow will stay with you, and you
must know how to look after it.
there are some highlights that I like:
- Even if the arrow fails to hit the target, you will learn how to improve your aim next time.
- If you never take a risk, you will never know what changes you need to make.
- Each arrow leaves a memory in your heart, and it is the sum of those memories that will make you shoot better and better.
- Use your bad moments to discover what makes you tremble. Use your good moments to find your road to inner peace.
- But for this to happen, you must practice and repeat. And if that isn't enough, you must repeat and practice.
