1. Я становлюсь дисциплинированней, внимательней и уверенней в себе

На тренировках, нам приходится много раз повторять одни и те же движения, следить за правильностью их выполнения. Для меня это не просто, потому что я еще маленькая и часто отвлекаюсь, но я стараюсь. Благодаря стараниям, я становлюсь дисциплинированней и внимательней. И чем больше у меня получается, тем уверенней я становлюсь.

В начале лета инструктры "Золотого Дракона" были приглашены на детский праздник в McDonalds на Тверской. Мы с удовольствием приняли приглашение - нам нравится заниматься с детьми.

If anyone will ask me what is the most important period in a person's life, I will repy without hesitation: childhood. It is during childhood time that the basic notions about the right attitude towards life, towards the surroundings, toward self are formed; basic habits surface that affect health.

Speaking of health, I not only mean the absense of cough or cold because health has a much broader sence.

Take a car for example. If all mechanisms are intact and are well maintained, if we constantly monitor the condition that the suspension is in and regularly change oil and fill the gas tank with good quality petrol, then the car will run smoothly without giving the owner any hard time. The same goes for our organism. If the internal organs are working cohesively, muscle system is harmoniously developed, the joints have enough mobility, and the body receives the nutrients it needs, only then can we talk about health. Every parent wants to see their child cheerful, lively and carefree happy.
How can this be achieved?

Little yin asked the master:

Teacher-Yang, is there any Truth?

- The truth is only in that which you're asking - replied Yang.

Little yin was taken aback:

- Teacher, then the truth is fleeting and therefore we can say that it is not?

Wise Yang grinned, thumbed one bead over and as if expecting this queston his whole life, replied:

- Truth - it is a road and the road is infinite. And that, which you understand as the Truth, little Yin – is just a cozy tent on the side of this road.

Little yin admiringly listen to the teacher. Answers, which he hoped to obtain, have lost their relevance.

Master's words were more, than answers.

Wise Yang said:

-Knowledge sets a person free.

Little Yin asked:

-Is it true that a lot of knowledge can bring a lot of grief?

Wise Yang replied:

- So they say, when they put on a good face during a bad game.

Little yin asked:

-Is the Path of Knowledge - infinite?

Wise Yang answered:

- Knowledge has no borders, but only a free man can walk this Path.

Little yin asked:

- Free from what?

Wise Yang answered:

- Free from the opinions of the crowd. The crowd always sacrifices the best for the survival of the worst.

Little yin asked:

- Freed, can one grasp infinity?

Wise Yang answered:

- Infinity can not be grasped, but one can become IT. For this purpose, Little yin, you need to calm your mind by immersing it in your heart.

Little yin asked:

- But how does one calm his mind and immerse it into his heart?

Wise Yang answered:

-To do so, you need to go to the lake and see the clouds, and in them - a goldfish.

Little yin went to the lake and saw a reflection of the clouds and floating in them - fish and realized, that all, he sees, is inside of him and he reflects in everything. So he became infinite.

-There are two ways - said Wise Yang. - Path of Knowledge and the Way of Suffering.

-But how to distinguish these paths? - asked the Little yin.

Walking on the Path of Knowledge is easy and pleasant, walking on the Path of Suffering - painful, - replied the Wise Yang.

On the Path of Knowledge you are cheerful and healthy, while on the Path of Suffering you are exhausted. And when you're exhausted, you need to be comforted.

-Consolation is alcohol and drugs? - asked the Little yin.

-First of all - it is the opinion of others on which you depend, - replied the Wise Yang.

- Thus, going with everyone, always be one, and having everything, have nothing. And then you will be freed.

-Path of Knowledge leads to freedom? - asked the Little Yin.

-Path of Knowledge leads to Love, - replied the Wise Yang. - Stepping on it, you're almost free, untill you'll get rid of the temptation to step off it. Following the right Path, you'll find yourself and will fall in love. Then you will get the strength to help others.

-This is great! - Helping others! - rejoiced Little yin. And he began to meditate on choosing the right Path.
