We Can Always Do More Than We Think We Can.
In 1839, George Dantzig was a math major at Berkeley. He stayed up late one night studying and the next morning he was running late for class. When he arrived he saw some problems on the board and thought they were homework. So he wrote them down. He did them a few weeks later and handed in the problems.
Later, his professor calls him in, “Mr. Dantzig, I can’t believe what you did!.” Dantzig thought “Oh no, I am in trouble!” The professor said, “No, you solved an unsolvable problem! Because you were late to class, you didn’t hear me tell everyone that they were unsolvable.
He solved it because he thought he could. So many times in life, we can do more than we think we can.
So, what could we do if we didn’t have the presumed belief that something was impossible? How much could we go out and get done?
Sometimes it may help us to be ignorant about limitations, and not know that things can’t be done and just figure out how to do them.
At Life Skill, in order for a student to earn the rank of black belt and to become a leader, there are three considerations. First is Belief. It is a core belief of ours that anyone can earn a black belt and become a leader with our guidance. And it is our responsibility to instill that same belief in each student to help them reach their goal of becoming one of our black belt leaders.
Everything in life that we aspire to accomplish is because someone instilled the belief that we could do it. That person may have been your parent, teacher, coach, or even your martial arts instructor.
Let’s team up and be that person together! And teach these kids… We can always do more than we think we can!
Life Skill is with you!
