Too Many Minds

In the movie, The Last Samurai, the character played by Tom Cruise was having difficulty holding his own against his opponent during sword training.  He was continually tossed and beaten, until the son of the village's samurai approached him and said, "Too many minds, too many minds."  When Cruise looked quizically at him, the young man explained, "Mind wind, mind trees, mind mountain -- too many minds.  Only fight."  After that, Cruise returned to the training, and was able to stand up strong against his trainer.

Of course, the moral is that when doing something, anything, the task is to focus; remove all other items from one's consciousness; be at hand and on task.  It is a matter of concentrating, and giving one's full attention to whatever one is doing.
