Kung fu translates "time and effort". It is hard work to do the repetitions to make your muscle memory sharp, your body strong and your mind keen and focused. It is what separates you from others, your ability to stick with the hard work, even when your progress seems to have plateaued, you are tired and bored, or you wonder if you will ever be any good at it. Not everyone can do it, they give up. If you want it, keep at it. You hold the key to your success, it comes from within. Yes, you need solid guidance and wisdom of more experienced martial artists, but you are responsible for taking these tools and working your hardest to improve. Time brings results. Master Yang teaches us to keep focused on our goals, to work hard, and in time when we look up and look around, we will see the progress we have made. Looking every five minutes makes the journey very slow indeed.
