Admiral Yi Sun Sin wrote that a warrior must master three roads, four obligations, five skills, and ten keys to security:
"The three roads are knowledge of the world; understanding of things as they are; and wisdom toward humanity.
The four obligations are to provide national security with minimal cost; to lead others unselfishly; to suffer adversity without fear; to offer solutions without laying blame.
The five skills are to be flexible without weakness; to be strong without arrogance; to be kind without vulnerability; to be trusting without naivete; and to have invincible courage.
The ten keys to security are purity of purpose, sound strategy, integrity, clarity, lack of covetousness, lack of addiction, a reserved tongue, assertiveness without aggression, being firm and fair, and patience.
Entries from Admiral Yi's War Diary (Nanjung Ilgi), 16th Century AD.
