All I Really Need to Know
I Learned from Akira Toriyama

Real wisdom isn’t taught in the ivory towers of academia, nor do financial gains buy peace. Understanding and ease come from the accumulation of tiny lessons, lessons so simple that they can be captured in action cartoons.

Segmented into five hundred episodes, the animated wisdom of Akira Toriyama’s Dragonball and Dragonball_Z has touched millions of fans worldwide. The answers aren’t printed on the pages of the Wall Street Journal; they’re aired five times a week, when you watch cartoons with your kids. Akira’s lessons are many:


Be kind to your enemies. You might find yourself fighting alongside yesterday’s rival.

You can't hit women, no matter how much they deserve it or how good it would feel.

Never give up. Some things are worth dying for.

Old people fall over without their medication.

Flying on a magical cloud doesn't make you gay.It just looks gay.

Don't ask.Don't tell.

Be nice to the slow kid.He's bigger than you.

Some hairstyles are just wrong.

Androids can get pregnant.
