Life and Career Skills

Movies are great source of wisdom, if you watch closely you'll find that there are lots of moments even in a fictional movie with deep insight. Karate Kid is one of them. Master Miyagi teaches the young boy the art of self defense, the martial arts. But he shows him that the external strength is actually generated from deep within. One must have a clean soul and a clean mind to achieve the impossible. The trick to live a fruitful life is to have balance of spirituality and materialism.

Here are some of the quotes from the movie.

"First, wash all car. Then wax. Wax on...Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important. "

"Problem: attitude. "

"Walk on road, hmmm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," squish just like grape. Understand? "

"Better learn balance. Balance is key. Balance good, karate good. Everything good. Balance bad, better pack up, go home. Understand? "

"Okay, here's your first lesson: how to take a FALL!"

"For man with no forgiveness in heart, life worse punishment than death. "

"Never trust spiritual leader who doesn't dance. "
