Week 3
“Continuous effort—not strength or intelligence— is the key to unlocking our potential.”
Winston Churchill, British statesman, prime minister during World War II
Translation for Adults
Everyone has equal potential to achieve his or her best. You have the abilities to be successful, on your terms. Potential, however, requires effort. Some are born to wealth, which may provide more opportunities; but without effort, not even the rich will achieve their goals. Your effort is your wealth. When you put effort behind your goals, you are experiencing your full potential. You are as privileged as “the privileged” (and maybe more so) because you have an equal opportunity to try to be your best—and your effort may allow you to seize that opportunity better than they. We all have equal ability to put forth effort. Work as hard as you’re able and you will achieve your goals. Stop making excuses and start making effort—and you will unlock your potential.
Translation for Kids
Effort is hard work. You can only be your best if you work hard. Everyone has an equal opportunity to try. You will be successful because you put forth effort. Too many people would rather be lazy. Your life would be easier if you didn’t attend your martial arts class. It’s easier to forget your homework than making the effort to study. Effort is necessary if you expect to achieve your goals. There are no rewards without effort. Only students who work hard become great Black Belts. Even those students who are excellent martial artists must work very
hard to earn their Black Belts. Work hard for your goals. You will reach your full potential. You will succeed.
Class Discussion for Kids
