If I gave up on aiming for the big things, of helping the world towards communism, instead just aiming for me, then I would totally fail in my real dream of communism.
Buuttt...my little dream is to play guitar really well, and I'm getting tuition now. I play every night till my fretting fingers hurt, and I'm actually getting good ( i think better is more accurate than good...) I
will be able to play Dick dales Misirlou by the end of the year (thats the opening track off pulp fiction, the really fast one,
http://www.dickdale.com/miserlou.html)
I might also set up a proper kung fu kwoon, but have multiple styles training throughout the week. Would be cool to establish the centre for martial arts in Europe. Have all the big tournaments played at my centre. And knowing you've taught people well, and they've gone on to set up their own kwoon's or dojo's, get a small chain going.
As for that dream, well its not quite a dream yet, but I'm about to start going back to my lau gar kung fu classes, so that its always a possibility.
Actually thinking about it, the hours would be great if I did it. Two hours a night Mon to Fri day, then two diff two hour sessions on sat and sunday. It'd give me plenty of time to do other things. I could do a course in acupuncture and chinese medicine, and once qualified set up my practice next to the kwoon.
Actually now I've thought about it, I really like this idea. Flexible working hours, work for something I love, if bussiness is bad in one place can always move somewhere else with it and try it again. Enough free time to keep going with my communist work too.
Sweet, I'm set. Just have to do another seven years of lau gar before they let me have a black sash, then even more to progress after that.
