Translation for Adults
You can overcome any obstacle to your goals. Everyone in this class has faced obstacles: Being motivated to attend your first class or having the courage to pass your belt test. You experience challenges every day. Your attitude is the only real barrier to your success. You are either your worst enemy or your best friend. When faced with challenges, remember that you have the potential to achieve greatness. After all, you have experienced success before—and it was a great feeling!
Translation for Kids
If you have a Black Belt attitude, then you’re able to face any challenge. Think about some challenges you have overcome: An excellent score on a difficult test at school or learning all of a new form for your belt. Your attitude is your real challenge; only it will ever stop you from breaking through obstacles. You can accomplish anything with hard work and determination, two important qualities to earn your Black Belt.
Class Discussion for Kids
- What are two challenges you have overcome?
- How did your Black Belt attitude help you to over- come those challenges?
