Part of this piece contains a memento from my term of service in Okinawa, Japan. I've only been able to translate part some of it so far.
Top Part is taken from the Book of Confucianism, "Always beware of our thoughts as if 10 fingers are pointing at you." In-depth, Concentrate on our righteous thoughts or our conscience.
The second part is taken from Buddhism, "Always concentrate on your conscience and do not falter, be determined" Beware nothing goes wrong, by lots of discipline and self-awareness.
