Make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.
One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.
My fear delivered one of the great lessons of my life: That someone without fear can’t push himself. He can’t get better. He can’t transform negatives into positives. He can’t open his world to creativity and invention, or even progress.

Everyone is a threat, and anyone can be beat at any given moment. No one is invincible.
Train smart at all times and do your best to avoid injury. Training smart is more important than training hard.

I like to think I'm like water that adapts to its surroundings and eventually finds a way in.
You can spend your life watching other people win or beat your name into history.
No two journeys are alike. Nobody can pretend to know the journey another person takes to achieve his dreams.
