The greatness of a life can only be estimated by the multitude of its actions. We should not count the years, it is our actions which constitute our life.

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. 

If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

 STANCE 14

 

 

 

 

No 14 - SMALL Stance: Make small progress but make it continuously

The Small Stance embodies the principle of steady, incremental progress. While big leaps are tempting, the true power of growth often lies in making consistent, small improvements. This stance teaches that success comes from dedication and persistence, where each small step brings you closer to your goal. Progress is often made in subtle increments, not grand gestures.

12 - AN UNEXPECTED MEETING

With Clara on the back seat, Thu-Lan rode the motorcycle at a fast speed while turning into several small streets to get away from potential pursuers. Finally, she stopped in front of a house in the Ngu-Xa neighbourhood.

Clara: "Where are we?"

Thu-Lan: "This is the training centre of master Dinh-Mai. He is my master of martial arts. It is quite safe for you to stay here while I'll return the motorcycle. I'll be back later with my own bike."

The training centre was on a quiet small street. The double wooden doors looked old and heavy. On each side of the entrance, there were two ceramic statues of mythical animals placed on pedestals, which seemed to be welcoming visitors. On the left side of the house, there was a pile of empty cardboard boxes placed near the front of a small grocery store, which was closed at this hour.

Clara: "These statues make me think of the statues of Komainu in Japan."

Thu-Lan: "These are Nghe, well-known fabulous animals that have a mane as a lion and they are stronger than tigers. They are here to protect the entrance of the house."
