Kids Should Learn 2 Life Skills

Kid should learn 2 Life Skills - Swimming is a must-have life skill. It’s more than just a sport; it’s essential for survival and confidence. Sooner or later, every child will be near water—whether a pool, lake, river, or ocean—and having basic swimming skills can make the difference between fear and confidence, between safety and danger. Swimming doesn’t just prepare kids to enjoy the water; it arms them with the skill to stay calm and act if they find themselves in trouble, which can literally save lives. Martial arts is far more than fitness or discipline—it’s about self-defense, an invaluable skill that everyone should possess. Learning ....

Indomitable Spirit

Indomitable Spirit The Power of an Indomitable Spirit: A Black Belt Principle A person with an indomitable spirit does not accept defeat. They possess a tenacity that refuses to acknowledge failure. This principle is crucial for a black belt because the journey to achieving this level is fraught with challenges and setbacks. Consider the inspiring story of Gene Tunney, who became the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World by defeating Jack Dempsey. Early in his career, Tunney was known primarily as a power puncher. However, during an exhibition match, he broke both his hands. Doctors told him he would never fight again, shattering his dream of becoming a World Champion Boxer. But ....

Don’t just go through it. Grow through it!

We all experience pain, discomfort, disappointment, and frustrations. That difficulty is an opportunity to get stronger, to develop character, to gain a new perspective. Anybody can fall apart; anybody can get bitter—that’s easy. But what that’s doing is wasting your pain. That pain is not there to stop you; it’s there to develop you, to prepare you, to increase you. In 1982, researchers aboard the space shuttle Columbia did an experiment with honeybees. They took them up into space to study the effects of weightlessness on them. According to a NASA memo, the bees “were unable to fly normally and tumbled into weightlessness.” Then it ....

Never Give Up!

Hard work, practice, and extra effort are the keys to success in everything you do. When you do just enough to get by, problems are inevitable and you never feel good about yourself.

That happens to everyone. The key is to show up the next day ready to do your best and stay determined to move one step closer to achieving your goal. I have never seen anyone fail to achieve a Black Belt, but I have seen people give up too soon! Check out this story about actor Jim Carrey’s non ....

Potato, Egg or Coffee Bean?

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off ....
