Discipline is important to learning. With anything new, we're bound to bump into scary places where we have to take a risk and sometimes fail. Passion coupled with discipline keeps us coming back for more. As my blogging buddy, Ben, said above he sees talented kids practicing karate, but they're not really passionate about it so they stop or just go through the motions. I've had several passions over my lifetime. I've enjoyed each one and then moved on to the next discovery when the time was right.

Passion and effort really seem to go hand in hand. I can't tell you how many really talented kids I've seen practice Karate for a little while... and get pretty good... but they could be truly brilliant if they had the passion to put in the effort to keep going with training. I guess talent is only a blessing if we put it to good use! keep smiling, Ben A great post, Patrick!
