Slide Content
All great companies and individuals set
a high standard of professionalism,
ethos, and values. It sets them apart
and helps them earn the respect of their
colleagues, clients, competitors, and
communities.
By earning respect, it optimizes profit,
provides an advantage and fosters
growth.
Earning respect will generate positive
references, repeated business, and
referrals. At the same time, it will
enhance
relationships and help build a r
reputation that will attract more
clients, listings and sales. In simple
words build customers for life.
In line with my Goal, I have borrowed a
Code Of Honour (COH) comprising 8
principles to help in becoming the best.
It will also help in achieving lifelong
and fulfilling
success in our business and in our
lives.
I have borrowed my “COH” from an ancient
Japanese tradition called the Bushido
Principles, however I have adapted the
principles in my own way through visual
representations copyrighted to
LMR Media. It is called the LMR_Shido®
In the following pages you will learn
about the Bushido Tradition and how you
can apply it into your life everyday.

INTRODUCTION
THE HISTORY OF THE BUSHIDO CODE: PRINCIPLES OF
THE SAMURAI CULTURE
The Bushido code of conduct, closely tied
to Samurai culture, played an important
role in the expansion of Asian art, Japa -
nese values, and many important traditions
like tea
ceremonies and the art of samurai
sword-making. An unwritten code of
chivalrous behaviour, Bushido later became
the basis for the teaching of ethics in
Japan, with principles that still remain
relevant today. Below, our editors explore
the history of the Bushido, or Samurai
code, along with modern interpretations of
how the code can be applied to everyday
life.
WHAT IS BUSHIDO?
Bushido is a code of conduct that emerged
in Japan from the Samurai, or Japanese war -
riors, who spread their ideals throughout
society. They drew inspiration from
Confucianism, which is a relatively
conservative philosophy and system of be -
liefs that places a great deal of
importance on loyalty and duty. The Bushido
code contains eight key principles or vir -
tues that warriors were expected to uphold.

SELF-CONTROL
Hiding like a
turtle in a shell
is not living at
all. A true
warrior must have
heroic courage.
It is absolutely
risky. It is
living life
completely,
fully, and
gracefully.
Be honest
throughout your
dealings with
all people.
Believe in
justice, not
from other
people, but from
yourself. To the
true warrior,
all points of
view are deeply
considered
regarding
honesty, justice
and integrity.
Self-control
means adhering
to this code
under all
circumstances,
when with others
and when alone.
Warriors are
responsible for
everything that
they have done
and everything
that they have
said, and all of
the consequences
that follow.
They are
immensely loyal
to all of those
in their care.
Warriors have
only one judge
of honour and
character, and
this is them-
selves. Deci-
sions they make
and how these
decisions are
carried out is a
reflection of
whom they truly
are.
True warriors
have no reason
to be cruel.
They do not need
to prove their
strength.
Warriors are
courteous even
to their
enemies.
Warriors are not
only respected
for their
strength in
battle, but also
by their
dealings with
others.
When warriors
say that they
will perform an
action, it is as
good as done.
Nothing will
stop them from
completing what
they say they
will do. They do
not have to
“give their
word.” They do
not have to
“promise.”
Through intense
training and
hardwork the
true warrior
becomes quick
and strong. They
are not as most
people. They
develop a power
that must be
used for good.
They have
compassion. They
help their
fellow man at
every opportu-
nity.

THE 8 PRINCIPLES OF THE BUSHIDO
The word “bushi,” a synonym for warrior,
serves as a root for the word “Bushido.”
The word Samurai roughly translates to
“those who serve,” but has come to mean
warrior. To understand the foundation of
the Bushido code, one must examine the his -
tory of the Samurai.
The history of the Samurai begins in the
eighth century, when armed supporters of
wealthy landowners began to be known as
Samurai. Toward the end of the 12th cen -
tury, power in Japan shifted and the Kam -
akura Shogunate military dictatorship was
established. During this time, leaders
popularized the use of Samurai and codified
their privileged status.
Following a period of unrest, when Mongol
invasion destabilized the government lead -
ing to the end of the Kamakura period to -
wards the end of the 14th century, there
was a long era of peace under the Tokugawa
Shogunate. During this period of peace and
prosperity, the Samurai were no longer
required to provide military force; in -
stead, they were asked to lead civil gov -
ernance. Slowly, their role transitioned
from being a type of knight to encompassing
the responsibilities of a government offi -
cial.
In the Tokugawa period, the Japanese art
forms popular among the Samurai began to
flourish. These included tea ceremonies,
rock gardens, flower arranging, and a
unique Japanese painting style that was
developed during Edo period.
The ordinance of the Military Houses or the
Buke shohatto, was issued in 1615 and the
Samurai were called upon to train not only
in strength, but also in civility and po -
liteness. It was during this time that the
Bushido principles emerged as the code of
conduct for Japanese people at large, in -
fluenced heavily by the Samurai as well as
Buddhism and Confucianism. The notion of
the Samurai was cemented as the epitome of
refined manhood. Overall, the Bushido code
calls for an appreciation and respect for
life, and teaches that people should lead
by example, express benevolence, and show
mercy.
