Have you ever watched the first couple episodes of American Idol? It amazes me how genuinely heartbroken some people are when they are told they suck. I bet these people have gone through their entire lives with everyone telling them how wonderful they are...Wouldn't it have been better is someone told them the truth? Told them that they needed work and in a kind way, helped them so that they were good? I'm pretty sure that would save them the heartbreak that, lets be honest, entertains the rest of us. So what's wrong with truth? I'm dead set against the "no zero" policies schools seem to have. To me, if you don't know the answers, you don't know the answers. It's the same for me with kung fu. I don't want a participant belt. I've been told things about myself I don't want to hear, but when I go home at night, its just fact, its truth, its coming from a good place, and it's something I need to work on. I used to be so very embarrassed needing to be corrected so much, but now I appreciate it. Don't get me wrong, I still get embarrassed now and again, but it's not as much as before and I know it's just because I'm doing something wrong and I'm being taught to do it right. I know that because I'm being told the truth, that when I get my blackbelt, I have earned it, honestly earned it, didn't try to earn it, just earned it. It won't be blue and it won't say participant.
