Sometimes in life it becomes necessary to control your actions, though you may wish to express something that seems valuable to you. You should always be aware of what you do and say and how it will affect others. Discipline yourself. When you can control what you do and say, you will know the satisfaction of having contributed your best, whether it be by outward expression or silence at the right time. Your ability to discipline yourself will have a direct effect on the degree of success you have in attempting to reach your goals. Your self-respect will be something that you deserved and earned.
PATIENCE AND MARTIAL ARTS
"Everything comes to those who wait". When one begins practicing martial arts, hours are spent performing techniques over and over, sweating as you go. When you leave to go home, you can leave that room behind you must take that patience and persistence with you. Not only during practice but in everything you do, have patience. Whether driving your car or cooking dinner, give yourself the gift of time. Don't try to beat the red light. Patience can save your life.
YOUR GOAL AND MARTIAL ARTS
Whenever you drive your car must go a certain direction, otherwise you will make unnecessary turns and waste fuel. The same is true in life. You should have a goal, a direction in which you will go. In certain times of hardship, having, keeping and relying on your goal can help brace you for the continuous road ahead.
MARTIAL ARTS AND PROMISE
Everyone makes commitments in their life but few people practice the art of keeping their word on promises. Whenever you make a commitment, stick by it, even if circumstances change and you end up losing somewhere. Your promise is your name. Give it a reason to be depended on.
MARTIAL ARTS AND RESPECT
The meaning of respect includes several things, all of which deal with you relationship with others. The degree to which you trust, love attempt to understand others, this is the same degree of respect you have for them. If you ignore someone, obviously, your respect for that person is not great. Attempt to extend yourself, to offer your undivided attention so that not only do you please others but you also gain from the experience. Enrich your life by respecting others.
MARTIAL ARTS: A WAY OF LIFE
Did you eat breakfast today? Probably so. Just as you need to nourish your body everyday, martial arts is also a daily supplement to good health. Also neither with food nor martial arts should you feast and/or famine. You can buy anything you want with money a car, clothes or a house, but even a million dollars cannot buy your good health.
MARTIAL ARTS AND CHARACTER
One of the most important distinctions between individuals is their character. As children, we are blind to politics, financial and social status. We act how we feel, spontaneously and without influence. As we reach adulthood we learn the rules of the world and that in some cases, acquiring what you want means sacrificing a little individuality. If we are fortunate enough to begin martial arts as a child, we can avoid the adolescent conformity. Individuality, pride, self-confidence, optimism none of these are for sale. This is another part of you that a million dollars cannot buy.
WHAT IS A LEADER?
To be a good leader one must have a conscious desire to dedicate himself to others and realize his responsibilities and duties to them. He should speak to anyone and everyone on their own level regardless of their position in society. Poor, famous, sick or powerful. People are equal and personal circumstances do not alter their right to counted. Empathize. Know hunger if your fellow man is hungry. Create a bond between you and others. A leader is the king of the mountain, but he wants everyone up there with him.
