Early one winter morning, the sky was a pale blue as the sun rose. In a small village courtyard, a KungFu student was diligently practicing the moves her mentor had taught her. As a reminder of her ambition, she wore a bright red lapel pin depicting a cartoon KungFu girl.
She had worked out since the Christmas break and was determined to keep it up until New Year’s Eve. She took a break to invigorate herself and headed to the ocean side to explore the area and the mysterious forest cave she’d heard about.
In the park, the KungFu girl continued her practice with grace and precision. As she moved, she heard the wind rustling the leaves and birds chirping in the trees. She even watched a group of children playing in the meadow, and smiled nostalgically as she recalled the times she and her friends used to do the same.
Finally, she advanced up the mountain and the sky was splattered with brilliant orange and red as the sun set. At the summit, she felt awe and continued to train until late at night.
Confident in her progress, the KungFu girl removed the cartoon lapel pin from her jacket. She had demonstrated to herself that she was capable of achieving her goals and was determined to continue practicing and improving her skills.
