Master of Nothing

Got focus?

Kung Fu has taught me many things about life. I think about it now as I sit and try to finish an exam in anthropology. This thing with discipline, this thing with focus....

I had a teacher once that used to tell me to stay focused. He encouraged me to stay so very focused, that I would forget about whether I was "good" or "bad" in what i did.

I have remembered my lessons well, I hope.

Nothing wrong with having a lot of intrests, but if you really want to master something you need to focus on it and dedicate yourself to it. You need to DO, you need to practice. You need to stop asking if you are good or bad.

With my intense intrests in anthropology, renaissance painting, occultism, literature and Kung Fu I often need to focus on having focus, else I, for example, end up having read 5 pages in 10 different books instead of 50 pages in one. When I end up like this, having done a little in many different things, I just feel like I've done nothing and accomplished nothing.

The same goes with training, I think. Nothing wrong with wanting to learn many different martial arts, but you might end up as Master of none.

I have too many intrests to train more than one Kung Fu style. I want to become a master of something. I dedicate myself to Wing Tsun.

Stay focused.
