Lessons from the Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi

This is one of the classic movies in the 1980s - The Karate Kid.

In this movie, Mr. Miyagi asks his disciple, Daniel, to do household chores all day, like sanding the floor, painting the fence, waxing on and off etc.

This goes on for several days, and Daniel finally can't take it anymore, and begins whining and complaining, wondering why he's only asked to do these seemingly meaningless tasks.



Mr. Miyagi then asks him to show him all these movements one at a time, and then begins throwing punches at Daniel!

Surprisingly, Daniel automatically blocks all these attacks, without even thinking twice, using the exact same movements that he has been doing for the household chores.

This goes to show that the basics while most boring, are the most important!
