Post-Vietnam notes

Just got back from the airport... bathed, unpacked and gave out some presents to my family members.. Glad they like the presents... Feeling very exhausted.. but want to note down a few important revelations before sleeping...

• People fight better when they are not afraid... being vigiliant and cautious is not the same as being afraid...
• What I admire about the super-good players... It's not that they don't get slammed or backthrusted... It's that even if they do fall, they are able to pick themselves back up IMMEDIATELY... and still perform at 100%... without new-found fear and over-cautiousness... That is true confidence...
• Fighting is alot like driving... When you first start driving, you are frightened everytime you step into the car.. Afraid of accidents and making mistakes... and thus, that leads to more mistakes.. but once you overcome the freshness of it... and it becomes as well-adapted... you are no longer afraid.. you can drive without thinking... like Mam says "auto-pilot"
• Experience is very important...
• I managed to sleep well and stay resonable calm for the entire trip... even before my fight... it was much better because I anticipated the 'night-before' fear-attacks... and managed to handle it better... Basically my mind was more focused on enjoying the trip then on the fight... 'ruminating and thinking about the fight will not make me perform any better... it will just tire my mind out'
• I like fighting feather
