Important character building gained from Karate:
Self - Confidence Formula.

1. One must believe that and recite regularly that they have the ability to achieve the object of their definate purpose in life, therefore they must demand of themselves persisitent, continuous action towards its attainment. (Goal Setting)

2. One must realise the dominating thoughts of their mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality.(If one believes they cannot achieve they will not, If they believe they can they will)

3. One should be aware that through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that they persistently hold in their mind will eventually seek expresson through some practicle means of attaining the object the back of it. (Negativity breeds Negativity)

4. One has clear aims in their minds of definate goals in life and should never stop trying, until they have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

In conclusion : We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
~ Aristotle
