The following was take from the newspaper Investor Business Daily and ,.”IBD’s 10 Secretes to Success.” Investor Business Daily 7 March 2006: A4.

So many success stories, including your accomplishment to Black Belt, take on the same qualities. I put a Tang Soo Do spin on the list of 10 secretes…you can add or change to fit your goals. Please take a minute and discuss these with a family member to see how you might change a behavior, thought, or action to succeed at what you are trying to accomplish. Master Roberts (Sah Dan, WTSDA ID #022103) Arrowhead Tang Soo Do; Glendale, Arizona. 3/13/06

News Paper: IBD’s 10 Secretes to Success (Investor Business Daily (pg. A4), Tue, March 7th, 2006.

How it fits to your Tang Soo Do (TSD) Training...

1. "HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of negative environments."
 TSD – Others will try to keep you from your true goal of Black Belt, don’t let them.
2. "DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them."
 TSD - YOU will obtain your Black Belt; write it down in big letters and place a picture somewhere you will see it every day!
3. "TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started. Just do it."
 TSD - Write down the date you will test for your Black Belt and every belt prior to that; and make a weekly schedule to meet that goal.
4. "NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills."
 TSD - Purchase ALL of Grandmaster Shin’s Books, additional books, attend seminars and clinics offered.
5. "BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up."
 TSD – Work daily toward your goal, stretching, cardio work, and finding areas for improvement.
6. "LEARN TO ANYALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes."
 TSD - Look back to all material to your basics, extend yourself and your techniques and strive to improve by looking at the details of technique.
7. "FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don’t let other people or things distract you."
 TSD – Things you accomplish will cost you resources of time, money, and talent. Sometimes it will take your strength to stay the course by not spending time idle on things that don’t matter.
8. "DON’T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE; BE DIFFERENT: Following the herd is s sure way to mediocrity."
 TSD – Enhance your training and reach out past what you see is possible in your training.
9. "DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others."
 TSD – Be respectful, listen and follow direction from your seniors at all times.
10. "BE HONEST AND DEPENDALBE; TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise Nos. 1-9 won’t matter."
TSD – Hold to your integrity and life will follow the course that makes the other nine secretes accelerate your success.

START - TAKE ACTION TODAY! - Master Roberts

Hi all,
WTSDA REGION 2 CLINIC CANCELLED (3/10/-06) -
Sorry we were not able to make the clinic in Utah – snowed out/bad weather. But, we are all home safe and NOT stuck in the snow. The regional director is evaluating a re-scheduled clinic.

We were very fortunate to have these clinics to attend and grow our knowledge and skills. Although we have missed the opportunity to attend this clinic and missed out on the learning experience, we are all save. But, some of our World Tang Soo Do Brothers and Sisters, two of whom, made it to the clinic and found it cancelled. Also, some purchased tickets and were out the cost of the tickets because they were going to fly into Vegas and the weather was not bad there. The regional director is looking into collecting donations to support their loss; checks will be made out to the WTSDA Region 2 and submitted to the Regional Secretary. If you are interested in contributing a few dollars, let me know and we will collect a pool and forward it on to the treasure. I will find out the goal and send further communication.
