today's advice from pjb...

... possibly inspired by yesterday's today's mood. the following are quotes from the movie Karate Kid (more specifically, quotes from 1st of the KKid trilogy):

Cobra Kai Sensei: Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Cobra Kai Student: No, Sensei. Cobra Kai Sensei: Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Karate Student: No, Sensei.
Cobra Kai Sensei: Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Karate student: No, Sensei

STRIKE FIRST, STRIKE HARD, NO MERCY

... so here's the deal - i'm still typing. (yeah, that's right. the report is tragically late, but i must continue - start to finish.)

anyway, if you have ever watched any of the Karate Kid movies and found yourself quoting from it, a must read is ESPN's The Sports Guy "Holy Trilogy of the Karate Kid".

(o.k. ... enjoy, while i type)
