7 Styles of Wudan

There are many secrets to the universe.

And there are many common misunderstandings.

Everyone always says “Practice makes perfect”

But that is a LIE.

Everyone always comments on how amazing of a speaker I am.

But there are hundreds of millions of people who have been speaking longer than I have.

You reading this, have spent your entire life speaking.

You’ve been practicing since you were less than two years old.

So why are you not equally as good? Why are you not as concise, clear, or compendious?

Why am I exceptional?

It’s because practice doesn’t make perfect.

Repetition alone doesn’t improve anything.

The secret is reflection.

What did you do wrong?

What mistake did you make?

I am an exceptional speaker, because every time I speak I analyze what’s been said.

How could I have said this clearer?

I paused a fraction of a second too long there.

What metaphor would have been perfect there?

I am a great speaker through a brutally realistic self-analysis.

Feedback and reflection are what men miss most.

When me and T got released from jail, we spent weeks sitting down going over why it

happened, where could we have done better.

When I was sparring as an amateur in Luton,

I became the best because win or lose, I would look back and reflect on what I could have done better.

You are the main character in your own movie.

Every scene, every dialogue, every move is scrutinized.

In the grand theater called Life, everyone is a critic.

You should be your own harshest one.

Too many of you go through life without ever looking deeply at the actions that got you there.

Was it perfect?

Could you have done better?

Was that pitfall avoidable?

If you don’t reflect, you’re doomed to make the same mistakes twice.

These are the differences between World-Class and the peons.

There are many secrets to the universe.

There are 7 Styles of Wudan.
