I wonder what will finally trigger me to count it all. Branden - I didn't have a really big water glass around. Can we just go with the jug!? Geez. Haha, just joking - very nice thoughts and I think you made some good points there. Karrie – I hope so! I wonder what will finally trigger me to count it all.

Branden – I didn’t have a really big water glass around. Can we just go with the jug!? Geez.

I believe our "coin jars" (budo training) are much bigger... and have far less in them at any one time. That why even masters with a half century of training still train hard to forge out their imperfections. They still see their jars only 75% full. Also, I feel like any sort of training is more of a water glass than a water jug like such. It gets bigger at the top than it is at the bottom, which is why we see more progress at first. The higher you fill it, the more it takes to see a difference... right? Ironic.

My grandfather had a jar just like yours (minus the hole...)and filled it with pennies. Yes, pennies. He managed to count them one day and he had $400! Just think, ten years from now you may have more! Ha! It's so true about the first years of training and how exciting they can be. I'm at the place you are, where sometimes it can be a struggle and I question where I'm actually going. But it's about the journey indeed. Wonderful! Great post!

Self-promoted, no less. Interestingly he lived in poverty most of his life, he could've used that coin jar! Nice post. I think William Chow of kenpo fame claimed to be a 15th dan.
