Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.

I was encouraged from the beginning to see the Earth as the best teacher and in addition was taught the old Gypsy arts of surviving the gaujo [non-Gypsy] world, much of which involved surviving the world outside your door emotionally.

A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine... each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose this student to fit his favourite pattern; a good teacher functions as a pointer, exposing his student's vulnerability (and) causing him to explore both internally and finally integrating himself with his being. Martial art should not be passed out indiscriminately.
Don't ask my master for a quick fix, there are no band aids for these wounds, Instead he will give your heart a check up for free, And tell you why it shuts down , when it should be singing for joy.
Don't ask my master to shed a tear for you, Infact his eyes may even seem to playfully mock you, 'Cause his heart is already bleeding , for the unncessary load of pain that you carry.
Don't ask my master to bless you, He has no time for it, And in any case his hands are busy, going up in gratitude on your behalf.
