It is true for any of us, no matter what our age, gender, race, or religion. When a person decides to go above and beyond, success is always the result. It may not be measurable, it may not be totally visible to everyone; but to the person who went that extra mile, it is unmistakable.
Going the extra mile in school means doing his or her homework completely and correctly before handing it in, studying even when he or she does not have a test or staying after school to receive extra help from the teacher. These are simple things that everyone knows should be done, but can be overlooked easily.
Going the extra mile for a martial arts student could mean a number of things: practicing at home, attending an extra class when time permits, participating in activities that will better his or her training such as a specialized class, a camp or even an extra private help lesson, or purely taking his or her training seriously each and every day. These students become Black Belts in the true sense of the word.
These small ways of going the extra mile, of which I have only named a few, are examples of the things in life that build successful people. Those who walk around doing only what they need to in order to get by, do just that. Those who go the extra mile, succeed!
It our mission each and every day at Shelby Choi Kwang Do to mold students to succeed!
