Just wanted to be honest and let you know I'm "borrowing" your quote from Shunryu Suzuki for a blog I'm posting tomorrow about eliminating the ego and making sure you approach life with a beginner's mindset. Thanks very much, and your blog was a great read.<br /><br />Chad<br />Buildthefire.com<br /><br />Blog, to be posted on Friday 6/21 - www.buildthefire.com/the-beginners-mindset-from-toddlers-to-javascript:void(0)tchaikovskyChad Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603227677493135168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-78740639041739843682013-06-10T08:49:03.914+01:002013-06-10T08:49:03.914+01:00Hi Matt, the kids really love doing this so it'...Hi Matt, the kids really love doing this so it's a great alternative when sparring gloves aren't available.Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-37849393732678894882013-06-07T14:50:31.643+01:002013-06-07T14:50:31.643+01:00Some interesting alternatives here Sue.
