the contest last for a moment
though the training has taken years
it wasn't the winning alone that
was worth the work and tears.
The applause will be forgotten
and the prize will be misplaced.
But the long hard hours of practice will never be a waste.
For in trying to win
you build a skill
you learn that winning depends on will.
You never grow by how much you win,
you only grow by how much you put in.
So for any new challenge
you've just begun,
put forth your best ...
and you've already won.

This is what I learn from tae kwon do…
