2nd lesson from kendo

I’ve been practicing Kendo for a few months and this is what I learned

When I first started, my form and techniques were terrible, and when that happened, other people pointed out and tell me to fix it

Naturally my gut instinct is to defend and justify why i did it like that

“Oh its because of this because of that”

But this type of behavior only leads me down the road of not improving and making more mistakes

Good thing I stayed quiet, take in the advices they give me and I was able to improve my technique fast

Therefore, next time when you receive a criticism,

Don’t get mad just yet, listen to them, see if you can learn a thing from two and move on.

At the end of the day that person probably care about you and want you to be better

So just shut up and listen
