*peeks in* ahem...newbie here...:-p (and a game for us!)

Receiving criticism is taken usually in the spirit in which it was given.

 

[Ceicei]

Given a choice, most people will choose pleasure over pain.

 

[TigerWoman]

Pain isn't noticed as much when you are in the martial arts. (least not until a day later )

 

[Ceicei]

Martial arts, for many people, is a favorite activity that takes up a lot of time.

 

[TigerWoman]

Time is best spent in activities that you most enjoy.

 

[Ceicei]

Enjoy what you have for no person knows how long life (on Earth as we know it) will last.

 

[TigerWoman]

Last night, I was leg tired from walking all day through art fairs.

 

[Ceicei]

Fairs are fun events to visit.

 

[TigerWoman]

Visits to friends or loved ones that have no airport are easier done in the summer even though it is too hot.

 

[Ceicei]

Hot dojos are very common.

 

[TigerWoman]

Common interest in martial arts makes MartialTalk so successful.

 

[Insedia_Cantharis]

Succesfull people are rarely rich.

 

[MA-Caver]

"Rich" is relative

 

[Ceicei]

Relative or not, we are all related in some way--depending on how far back you go.

 

[Lisa]

Go tell it on a mountain, over the hills and far away!

 

[Ceicei]

Away went the foot--and the body--when the kick is done incorrectly.

 

[TigerWoman]

Incorrectly done form for a test would certainly result in failure.

 

[MA-Caver]

failure can happen sometimes, it's the often known inability to accept it that's the problem.

 

[TigerWoman]

Problems to a martial artist either have to be solved or they can be a hindrance at minimum or a roadblock at maximum.

 

[Ceicei]

Maximum dedication to training is often found prior to promotion.
