Preparation

 A crucial mistake that I have made countless times through my years of being in kung fu was not being prepared. Even at my black belt grading, I didn’t come prepared for everything. However, it is only now that I’m starting to realize that this goes for everything in life. Whether you are studying for a test or going hiking in the woods, you can never be too prepared. Something as easy as creating a list of needed items in any possible scenario can easily mitigate the problem of unpreparedness. That is something I have to start doing. Not only can it be potentially harmful if your not prepared, but you can also miss out on many opportunities that may never be seen again.
