“A new student approached his Karate Master on day and asked,
“How long must I study to become the best in the land?”
“Ten years, at least” the Master answered.“Ten years is a long time,” said the boy. “What if I study twice as hard as anyone else?”
“Twenty years.” Replied the Master.“What if I practice night and day with all my heart and soul?”
“Thirty years” was the Master’s reply.
“How can that be? Each time I say I will work harder, you tell me that it will take longer. Why?” The boy asked.
“The answer is clear. When one eye is fixed upon your destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the way.”-Author Unkown
Marial Arts should never be about a belt, sash, or rank. Rather, one should pursue mental and physical harmony.
