Martin Rooney founder of Training For Warriors and expert in conditioning for martial arts has just published his rules. As a philosophical outlook it's great to see what Wing Tsun can compare and contrast with others. I've copied them out down below however please visit his website here: TFW
Rooney’s Rules:
1. The Road to Success does not intersect with the Path of Least Resistance.
2. To be successful in life, you must commit. If you freeze, you lose. There should be no halfway in anything you do.
3. When you take consistent action toward any endeavor over time, small gains will eventually equal large ones.
4. What is easy to do is also easy not to do. Your personal definition of “easy” will determine the height you reach in life.
5. In order to reach greatness, it will not be because of an absence of obstacles, but in spite of them. The Obstacle is the Path!
6. The greatest mistake is to keep making the same mistake over and over again without ever learning from it.
7. You can never gain Momentum if you never get moving. If anything is going to stop you, don’t let it be the start.
8. The success is much less commonly the man with the most natural talent as he is the man that continued to train while everyone else gave up from some self-created excuse.
9. You must first accept responsibility that you are the only one in control of your destiny. Where you are in life is exactly where you are supposed to be as a result of either the things you have or have not done, thought, said, or attempted.
10. If you want what other people don’t have, you must be willing to do what other people won’t do. Find out what stops everyone else and do it!
