A good martial artist does not become tend but ready, not thinking but jet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come.

If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.

Learning is a constant process of discovery - a process without end.

Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level than you are proficient. Thus the tensed expert marksman will aim at a level less than his/her student.

The ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness. I mean it is a combination of both. I mean here is natural instinct and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony. Not if you have one to the extreme, you'll be very unscientific. If you have another to the extreme, you become, all of a sudden, a mechanical man No longer a human being. It is a successful combination of both. That way it is a process of continuing growth.

As you think, so shall you become.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
