The Path to Succes: Good things come to those who wait for their actions to take effect
Succes takes time. Changes don’t happen overnight. If choice puts you on the Path to Succes, Commitment and Patience are the Keys.
“Good things come to those who wait” “Good things come to those who take action“.
Two nice sounding, but opposite expressions.
I believe, like with everything in life, the truth lies in the middle…
“Choose and commit to that choice by taking action.
Be patiënt, wait for your action to take effect.
Evaluate the effect, adjust your choice or action based on what you have learned.
Take action again and repeat this process until a desired outcome has been reached.
Always work towards something, you are either progressing or wasting valuable time.”
The Path to Succes: Good things come to those who wait for their actions to take effect
“Good things come to those who wait for their actions to take effect”.
Let me illustrate.
An average beginner will usually start the roll with throwing a random barrage of attacks at his opponent.
He doesn’t have any technical knowledge yet, so he attacks with what he instinctively thinks is right; grabbing the head, wildly pushing and pulling, lunging forward, etc.
He doesn’t know what techniques are out there, so his attacks are random. Therefor, victory (= succes) on his part will for a great part depend on luck and physical attributes.
He fails to CHOOSE.
After a few months a beginner will already have quite a set of techniques in his arsenal. He doesn’t have to resort to random, instinctive ideas anymore.
Typically, this person eagerly takes a certain grip and position in the beginning of the roll.
He makes a CHOICE.
From this position he will start attacking with learned techniques, but expecting immediate succes. Encountering resistance from his actively defending opponent, he abandons the attack he started and eagerly tries the next one and the next one while the opponent keeps blocking. In his eagerness, he lacks control and allows his opponent to take advantage and advance.
More importantly, this person will fail to see why his attack failed and therefor his ability to learn from his mistakes will be greatly hampered.
This person chooses, but in his eagerness he lacks the patience to wait for his technique to have the desired effect.
He fails to COMMIT to his choice.
Given the same knowledge and physical attributes, the difference between beginner and advanced in any field, is
the commitment to a certain choice and waiting for the desired effect before choosing again.
Even in failure the patient person has a better chance of reflecting on what happened. Thus, learning faster in the long run.
Be patient, on The Path to Succes
