Try hard to not be what you hate

As a martial artist, I pushed myself to be the best I could in as many aspects of the various arts I could find and think of and have the opportunity to work with. As a martial arts teacher I strove to teach, push, pull, and challenge. I went through a moment by moment reflection on my actions, and was constantly striving to become a better communicator, a better facilitator of the knowledge I could pass on and help each student discover in themselves.

Now that I am directing the films that I am writing, I am similarly reminded to really strive to make the kind of movies I want to watch, write the kind of scenes I would want to do myself, work with the actors the way I would want to be worked with.

Learning from other teachers, and working under other directors; there are those I respected, those I was able to learn and grow from, and those I was really able to use as an example of what I would hope to never do or never become.

That 'do unto others' thing is a pretty damn good rule...
