The Japanese consider the KOI to be the most energetic of fishes.
This is because it is constantly moving, often churning up water.
The Koi is also able to fight the current of the water and swim upstream.
This can be interpreted in two ways:
- Being a non-conformist – Koi swimming upstream can be interpreted as showing the philosophy of non-conformism because of the fact that the Koi does not “go with the flow”. This can mean a person is very independent minded and does not do things the way they are expected of him or her. Swimming upstream can mean that a person is not easily influenced by others and does what he or she wants.
- Strength in time of adversity – Koi fish also symbolizes persistence and the willingness to go on even though you are being swept away. It also symbolizes surpassing expectations. The Koi fish swimming upriver can show that a person has overcome various obstacles and not only does he or she keep standing, but he or she has come out victorious.
"What this translated into was simple: he would exercise his power to walk away from any situation or person that compromised these values. He realized the key in life is to always be willing to walk away.
Clinging to people or situations out of fear is like desperately holding on to life on the worst terms.
Whenever he felt as if he had too much to lose and he held on to others or to deals out of fear of the alternative, he ended losing a lot more. He would cut loose former friends, without a second thought.
And if they didn't return, then good riddance (true friends don't 'let go', or be let go of).
Certain things mattered to him more than anything else--maintaining his long-term mobility, working with those who were excited and not mercenary, controlling his image and not muddying it up for the sake of money." --THE 50TH LAW
