Samurai Code of Comedy: On Training with Another

A warrior cannot train completely by himself. If his sword has no one to strike at, it will loose spirit and not be ready in battle. Even if he trains with another below his skill level, his sword will become confident and be ready for battle. A comedian should consider writing with other comedians. Sharing ideas and looking for perspective and new angles can help even the most experienced comic find a new idea, phrase, tag or joke. One who does not accept the help of others will have a hard time growing and will be eclipsed by individuals who prepare for battle together.
