Regard your soldiers as your children, and they
will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them
as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you
even unto death. Sun Tzu

The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living”
by Karl W. Palachuk
Article 2003010002
The hardest thing about examining your life is getting started.
- - - - -
I’m sure you’ve read this quote before: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates said that at his trial for heresy. He was on trial for encouraging his students to challenge the accepted beliefs of the time and think for themselves. The sentence was death but Socrates had the option of suggesting an alternative punishment. He could have chosen life in prison or exile, and would likely have avoided death.
But Socrates believed that these alternatives would rob him of the only thing that made life useful: Examining the world around him and discussing how to make the world a better place. Without his “examined life” there was no point in living. So he suggested that Athens reward him for his service to society. The result, of course, is that they had no alternative and were forced to vote for a punishment of death.
Luckily, we don’t have to choose between an examined life and death. But the sad thing is, most people avoid leading an examined life. It’s not that they don’t have time or make time. They actively avoid examining their lives.
People who do examine their lives, who think about where they’ve been, how they got here, and where they’re going, are much happier people. No one has all the answers. And no one’s life is free from trouble and strife. But those who have some sense of where they belong in the universe also have a context for understanding how all the elements of their life fit together.
If there are two people, one with a map and one without a map, who has the better chance of reaching her destination? The one with the map, of course.
When you set aside time to examine your life,
You get to choose your destination; You get to set the goals;
You get to determine the path; You get to decide how long it will take;
You get to decide whether you’re on the right path or the wrong path.
In other words, you begin to know your self and to take control of your life. You decide who you want to be and begin to become the person you want to be.

"Arguably the best fighter ever produced by the Gracie clan," -Mens's Fintess Mag.---------- Translated from Japanese, Jiujitsu means "the soft way." Chokes and joint locks are primarily used to get your opponent to give up. Jiujitsu emphasizes seizing your opponent and taking the confrontation to the ground. Over 90% of street fights finish on the ground, hence ground-fighting skills are extremely important for self-defense. Taking an attacker to the ground eliminates around 80% or their arsenal, leaving you in a perfect position to finish the fight. Carlson Gracie jiujitsu gives you the finishing tools.---------- Jiujitsu came to Brazil in 1915 when a Japanese master taught it to the son of a Brazilain politician, Carlos Gracie. Gracie learned that one could control an opponent, of any size, from all positions with the right knowledge of body mechanics and a certain degree of suppleness. Gracie started employing these techniques in local "anything goes" prize fights. When Gracie had children, each was taught Jiujitsu. The eldest son, Carlson Gracie, was taught Jiujitsu as soon as he could crawl. At the age of 17, Carlson entered in his first fight. He won on that day, beginning a career-long undefeated streak. Carlson started his own school of Jiujitsu in Rio de Janerio. Carlson's school became know for producing some of the world's greatest champions.-----------
