Ayuh...that`d be the main point. :-D

Peter B what was the book you read?

If you want something you have to MAKE IT HAPPEN. No excuses. Take responsibility for your life. You have to push, push, push, and NEVER quit.

If you`re going to play the game, you have to know the rules.

Actually, you can see a sort of metaphor of American thought in the growth of the martial arts programs over the past 50 years.

We`ve had a number of topics, discussion, and mention of books like "The Secret," and "Think and Grow Rich." They`re books that use some version of philosophy, spirituality, and mental energy to connect with the physical in order to accomplish something. Martial arts are the same, although entirely different from, say, boxing or weight training.

Going back to the first series of "Kung Fu," most of the audience got all caught up in the fighting parts of the show. It eventually led to the ridiculous sequels to "The Matrix," where the punching and kicking became meaningless. However, a much more important part of each show (Kung Fu) was the development of the lessons from the past, and how they worked in the present situation.

We now have a massive number of Baby Boomers entering old age, with physical strength and agility declining. Tai Chi is becoming a big deal for health improvement, but it still focuses on the body, not so much the mind, the way it`s being taught.

I would suppose that bringing it all together, including the increasing "yearning" for some sort of meaning of life these days, that if you were to put together a martial-arts-based dojo that focused more on connecting the body and mind to the universal energy sources, it would work.

I`m also thinking of such things as Quigong (Chi gong) and the emerging link with energy physics, and wondering if the time might be right for western culuture to look more closely at that overall, integrated health  idea.

The focus wouldn`t be on martial arts. It might lean more towards the idea of yoga, although not focusing on that either. It`d be more like "live well, feel better."

Well, to be an entrepreneur, you should be patient to your work. It is normal you feel boring when the business has been a long time. Some problems appeared and everything seemed unlucky. But it is the essential step of the total successful. If you hold on the line, you will get  new passion and be enthusiastic to the job, you will also find the new interesting in your work. Just adhere to, good luck to you!

An now, glass-hoppah...you must seek to locate the buttocksial area upon the next step in the journey. Or, in the Americanized version: Git yer butt movin` and see what it would take to set up a dojo and git `er done!

(I dunno.....the "glass-hoppah" version seems more poetic, though....)
