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.

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.

POST 719 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."
