I think it would be a very good idea if everyone posted on this thread with a thought, proverb, phrase, even a joke that they think might inspire and motivate us in our martial arts training.
Try to come to this thread every day and post your thought, even if it seems mudane. Maybe we can all help each other on to better things and greater improvements on a daily basis.
I’ll start with an old one, but a good one.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
The key to victory is simple, then. FIGHT TOUGH. Give no quarter, because you’ll get none. Pull no punches lest you be unable to punch at all. Show no mercy because you’ll receive none.
-Lieutenant Jack Dempsey

“Do not let us speak of darker days, let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days—the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.”
