Running for Life

Last week we held a few seminars and rank test at the London school. At the end of the test Master Chang gave a short lecture. I'd like to share one of his short stories:

A martial arts instructor was walking with a student and they both noticed a rabbit running away from a fox. Much to the surprise of the student the rabbit was able to get away. "Do you know why the rabbit got away", the Master enquired. The student did not. "The fox is running for his dinner," the master continued, "the rabbit runs for his life".

When we 'run for life' we can achieve many things we thought were impossible. Master Chang concluded that he wants all students to run, not for dinner, but for life.
