“To survive as an instructor you have to understand human nature. It is diverse and many people are not like you. Finding another person with a true MA’s spirit, with integrity, loyalty and a true heart is like finding a diamond on a beach of pebbles.
.
Many people you help will let you down, lie through their teeth, steal from you and disrespect you, your club and your system. You cannot let them sour you, you have to keep the resolve, determination and courage to do the right thing and continue to help others because only then will you keep finding those diamonds on that beach of pebbles.” ??
