Martial math IV-10.000 dreams for no-man
February 15, 2017
Dreams are for the night. There is a purpose for them. The brain is re-arranging “all details” just like a good housekeeper makes sure at the end of the day to put back all things used, to where they are supposed to be stored… And by doing so, he will ran around in the house and pick up anything he will find in front of him, without thinking much about the order of doing so. He will pick up a toy from the floor, a wine glass from the dish-dryer, a jacket from a chair, a magazine from the couch and on it goes.
In a similar manner the brain picks up any unfinished thought and feeling, and any half-processed incoming “message” by its natural sensors. From an almost un-noticed sexual desire, to the sting from a protruding nail in the garage, from the momentary scare caused by an careless driver, to the un-expected memory appearing from our past…
Everything must be put in the right “box” during our sleep, by the part of the brain which works its… nightshift!
This is why dreams seem to be so crazy and random, but they actually are not!
Daydreaming is an entirely different story… It is usually, a serious distraction with no use, which can make us miss-out, from the actual life which goes around us. We must wake up from daydreaming! Make a plan that will work, instead…
But we have an expression which falls in neither of the previous categories. It is “making dreams in order to achieve them” And we call them dreams because they are elusive, random and uncontrollable like night dreaming is…
But have you ever had the experience of dreaming at night and being aware of the fact that you are dreaming?! Everything in practicing Martial Arts starts with being aware of what you do… Even in dreams!
10.000 dreamers will achieve nothing, but everything great starts with a dream!
Where are we truly, in this math?
10.000 younglings passionately dream of becoming “one day” Martial Artists…
It turns out that only 1.000, from that sum, will finally sign up for that task.
1.000 beginner-students start their practice…
They do so, for a period of days, weeks, months, and then they evaporate.
100 practitioners follow their art for some years…
Proves out, that they will abandon it at the exact point where they should have not.
10 Martial Artists practice and simultaneously teach their art…
Yet, they will never fully complete their training.
1 of all becomes a Martial Arts teacher, skilled, running his own school, gaining fame, earning money…
Still, at the end, his entire venue will leave no trace behind.
None out of the 10.000 will ever be like their wild dream was.
None, like in zero.
Zero represents pretty much nothing, but it is still a number…
And then, when one least expects it, and totally out of nowhere, a man will rise who is exactly like all the promises that the 10.000 have been dreaming of. And all stand flabbergasted of how that could be.
Is he the zero man or the materialized dream of 10.000?
Why is it so difficult to follow your dream to the end, without spoiling it?
What is the material needed to follow this through?
I may be writing this, but I haven’t got the slightest idea of what it takes…
I only know one thing for sure. That the above numbers are fact!
And I seem to fail in doing the math that will bring a solution to this problem…
Maybe math is not my strong point!
