2 I believe…that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another!

A Shinobi is not someone who gives up when faced by adversity, but a person who faces adversity head on and emerges victorious
4 If you can’t accept and move past rejection, or at least use it as writing material – you’re not a real man.
Rejection is an inevitable part of every person’s life and they should accept it honorably. Every man should find inspiration in rejection rather than making it source of one’s despair

Rather than having a lot of people around you, it’s better to keep your circle tight. After all, only one real friend is enough for a person to be happy.
11 The most important thing for a shinobi to have is the spirit and the guts to never give up
The number of Jutsus or the rank one possesses are not what make a person a splendid Shinobi. What makes them a great Ninja is the will to never give up and to keep striving towards their goal.
12 A person grows up when he’s able to overcome hardships. Protection is important, but there are some things that a person must learn on his own.
