What are blogs?

Hello once again, so where are you? and what are you doing?   
ha ha made you stop and think, which is not a bad thing, obviously you are reading my blog and possibly just killing time. But what are you really doing when you read blogs? Do you become a better person for reading them? or do you comment to see if you can help, or just liked there blog? What does reading other people's blogs actually do? Well it can do a number of things, but it is up to you what those things are. Does a blog make you happy, sad, angry, inspired, what do they do for you? What I think for me reading someone elses blog is an opprotunity for me to grow as a person and do better understand someone emotionally sometimes. So what blogs, that you read and write are just a giant bag of opprotunity for you to take advantage of. Whether you dip your hand into that bag of opprotunity is up to you, and up to you how to use it. hmm this awfully sounds familar in what kung fu seems to offer, I wonder if they have a big bag of opprotunity as well?( by the way yes they do) Reading and writing blogs is a small way of letting you figure out the small opprotunity you get to have that can benifit you. Then eventually you can learn that you are surrounded by opprotunity, and now there seem like there so much for you to take now. But as I have learn its is the smallest opprotunitys that can change your life forever. Like how my friends grandparent messed up the name of the martial arts my friend was actually taking. Kung fu or Taekwondo. Such a small thing changed my life forever. So next time you read a blog stop and think what is actually happening to you at that very moment as you read the blog or write it, and take in that opprotunity you have just taken and possibly make it great. So remember everyone stay extrodinary.

Hello numbers

Hello everyone, I have really dropped the ball on journalling,but I am journalling now so here we go. What I am about to share is something that first made me appericate the mircale of the small things. When I was in high school a teacher challeged our class to write to a million. Our teacher bet his house, his car, and everything he had in his bank. If we could write to one million in 6 months. We all thought "what ane asy challege easy money here we come". The rules were that we had to hand write the number down and they had to be put in this form "1,2,3,4....ect." Well we all started to write to a million that day. Much to our surprise in about a week we did not have that much done yet, I think we got to around 3200. Everyone else in the class ended up giving up and decided that it was impossible. I was the only one left to keep going. I still belived that I could do it I just had to increase the amout of number I wrote a day. I just thought they had no ambition. I ended up writing 2000 numbers a day. I was doing this during school hour; not my smartest move, but I was determined. eventually I got to 10,000 and I was thinking off giving up, but then my teacher unintentionally challeged me again. He said the last time he asked his class to do this a kid wrote up to 23,000. I was now on a mission to destroy that kids accomplishment and do it better. So I continued to write the number. As I got higher in the number it was harder to keep my 2000 a day quota; also my hand was beginning to hurt. I eventually matched the prevouis kids number, now I wanted to destroy them and make sure no one else would ever try and beat my number. So I ended up writing 10,000 more than the previous person. Now about now it has been 6 months since I started writing to a million.I decided for sure now to throw in the towel, my hand was cramping a lot, and I was not paying attention in class. So I went up to my teacher and asked him if he would make a deal with me, since no other of his students ever got as high as me ( which I think was around 33,320) I offered to give him my binder of number for $50, He thought about it, then he said ok I will give you $50. It was a bitter sweet moment for me, because I was giving away 6 months of my time that I spent on these numbers for $50. Also I had all these numbers in a 2" binder with it decently full of paper with numbers on them. That day I learned just how big a million really was and I made $50. So when I Ho Chaun said lets do 50,000 push ups and sit ups I proably had a better understanding in what I was getting myself into. And the messed up part about this the 50,000 push ups and sit ups are easier to achieve then when I wrote to 33,320. mainly because no repeating yourself. example . 31,111 , 31,112,  31,113... etc. I got so sick of rewriting the same number, but in the end I learned a vauble lesson, and if I could go back, I would probaly still do it again. Anyways I guess that's my spiel so remmber stay extrodinary.
