Hey Dustin!

I’ll try to be succinct since I’m thumb typing on my phone… But first I’d like to acknowledge a 2 out of 3 cross over with my old TKD school motto: “Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control, Indomitable spirit” 😲

Back on topic though…

Perseverance: Actually putting in the daily practice, especially when I’ve had dinner late after a long day at work and really want to veg out on the sofa. “It’s a lot harder to get going, than it is to keep going” is a saying that gets me off the sofa on those nights.

Integrity: Accepting that I don’t “already got this”, and maintain a beginner’s mind and do pay close attention to the details and keep working on the things that I don’t got (yet).

Education: I’m a voracious reader, so this one’s the easiest. I read about 50 books a year, so I make at least one every month at least a martial arts book, preferably with Wing Chun or Wing Chun adjacent material in it.

So awesome that you keep coming with great ideas for new threads like this week after week!
