All the author is doing is using a warrior analogy to illustrate very valid and constructive points about living as a well rounded man. You people contradicting the points in this article either have an inflated sense of self-importance, or you just love to criticize anything. So what if it was lifted or inspired by other writings? Led Zeppelin borrowed much of their influences material and made it into the most enduring and popular rock and roll music of all time, as did the Beatles, as did the Stones...and THEY in turn are heavily derived from by modern music today (White Stripes from Zeppelin, off the top of my head). The same principle applies. Who are you to get all pissy about the citing of the article? Are you an English teachers or something? Get over yourselves. This post has many valid and useful points, and to the authors...well written and thanks for the inspiration.

The follow-up comments are even more interesting. I didn't realize the concept of a warrior was such a lightning rod for dissent. Perhaps this is yet another indicator of the our culture's decline in manly values that this website works to reverse. I, for one, enjoyed and appreciated the article.

Most people seem to have some belief in an afterlife. That being the case, the destination becomes quite important. For example, I don't think my creator would be pleased if I scammed people out of their life savings to improve my quality of life along the way. The article doesn't seem to address righteousness in the quest. Rather it seems to suggest someone should pillage and plunder anyone who dares step in the way. The article states; "It is better to have a followed a path in your life that brought you happiness in the moment, than to have followed a path that promised happiness at your destination." That's not a fact, but an assumption. If the author is correct, then I guess most of the people on this planet are suckers. To me anyway, that's a very dangerous assumption, and one that has eternal consequences. I'm not trying to proselytize, I'm just sayin'.
