This video was brought to my attention by H. F. Ito, Sensei. He says it gives an excellent representation of O Sensei's comportment, posture, and presence.

Aikido in Daily Life - Corporate Edition, Part 2

They usually come all at once.  Problems have a way of knowing when to gang up on you.  Be it work problems, or pack hunters on the urban streets sometimes things can come in waves and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.  We train with multiple attackers to remind us that we can deal with many issues, but only if we keep calm, stay centered and remember our training.  It teaches us to handle problems one at a time, and choose before the choice is made.  We often freeze up in difficult situations and forget that we have options, like which problems we will attack first.  Instead of waiting for the problems to pile up on top of us, we first try to be alert and see the issues coming.  Next, we choose which ones to deal with first, knowing that we may not need to fully resolve an issue before taking on the next challenge.  Continuous training helps us stay calm, keep breathing and look forward to life’s little tests, even when they bring their friends.
