Wrestle in the Center of the Ring
I always keep in mind and tell myself to wrestle in the center of the ring. That means to act on the challenges immediately, and not wait until you are pushed to the edge of a deadline.
I am sure most of us have the experience of burning the midnight oil before an exam. Many of us must have run out of time and faced a test in a desperate mood. Since the time and date of an exam are scheduled beforehand, we should start sooner if we want to get a good grade. But many of us don't.
In Japan Sumo wrestling, we see that some wrestlers wait until they are on the very edge of the ring and about to be thrown out before they really fight to defend themselves. I often wonder why they don't use their 'super power'
strength while they are still in the center.
Our life is no different. when we are in the center of the ring, we feel relaxed (shuang~) because there is plenty of time and room to make our moves. Then we put forth a flurry of activity when we are pushed to the edge of the ring.
We should always pretend that there is no time or room left, and make our efforts long before we are actually about to be pushed out of the ring.
