Lack of Effort Brings Lack of Inspiration

I just wanted to mention to all the students something that they may not know.

Some of us have issues asking for help. We often wait for it to be offered. A lot of people use body language of needing help in the form of acting sluggish and giving up. They try and make it obvious that they need help. The problem with that is: if you show little effort to try, a lot of blackbelts are not going to want to show effort to help.

I can say, that in my point of view, if I see a person give up, I lose all desire to offer help to that person. I do not want to offer help to someone who appears like they many not use it, especially if they appear to not care. If you don’t care, I don’t care.

When you lack intensity, effort, and drive; the feeling is contagious. The blackbelts will lack those traits when it comes to teaching.
I am not trying to offer criticism to anyone, I am offering advice.

If you have problems asking for help, the best body language you can use to get help is to try your best, put in effort, put in intensity, and act like you care. We will notice if you make a mistake or if you do not understand and we will come and help you. We can see the lost look in your eyes. But, like I said, if you appear to not care or want to try, we will not care or want to try either. So help us help you.
