This is a story.
Two Sensei were were eating dinner together discussing their lifetime of teaching Karate. At one point, the first Sensei started to sob, "Several of my students are better than me! I feel like I a failure."
The second Sensei began to sob as well, saying, "None of my students are better than me! I feel like a failure!"
Which was correct?
I feel that several of my students are better than me (and several others will become so), and I feel like a success!
I have four children and a granddaughter. I want the very best for each of them. With my blessing and support, I want them to surpass me in every way. I will be their greatest fan!
The same is true of my students. My greatest pleasure is to learn from them!
Respectfully,
Charles C. Goodin
