Noong nakakasali pa ako sa isang martial arts class, napansin ko na ang ilang estudyante ay mas magaling sa napakahirap na physical conditioning ng aming training. Ang mga regulars na nakakasali sa bawat klase ay nakakakumpleto ng ilang daang push-ups, sit-ups, squats, at matagal na planks ng mas mabilis at mas maayos kaysa sa mga katulad kong maswerte na kung makapasok ng isa o dalawang Sabado kada buwan. Ang ilan sa mga iyon ay nagsimula pagkatapos ko at, hindi nakakapagtaka, naging mas malakas sila sa pagdaan ng panahon.

Kung nagsimula ka sa kahit anong trabaho, sport, o hobby, nagtaka ka ba kung bakit ang ilan ay naging mas magaling o mas successful kaysa sa iyo? Hindi lang swerte o natural talent ito. Alam mo ba na may isa pang dahilan para dito at magagamit mo iyon para pagbutihin at pagalingin mo ang buong buhay mo? Iyon ang pag-aaralan natin dito. Ituloy mo lang ang pagbabasa dahil baka may matutunan kang napakabuti.

During the time I was able to join a martial arts class, I noticed that some students were able to do better during the harsh physical conditioning part of training. Those regulars who joined the class almost every session completed the hundreds of push-ups, sit ups, squats, and long planks faster and with better form than students like me who were only able to attend a couple of Saturdays a month at most. Some of them started training later than I have but, unsurprisingly, they quickly grew stronger as time went on.

If you’ve ever started a certain career, sport, or hobby, do you ever wonder why some people become better and more successful than you over time? Ruling out “luck” or “natural talent”, did you know that there’s something else at work and that you can use that something to improve just about all areas of your life as well? That’s the lesson we’ll learn here today. Keep reading as you might learn something amazing.

Dati bumili ako ng isang libro, Zen Flesh Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings. Ang isang kuwento doon (“The Tunnel”) ay may payong tungkol sa tagumpay na pag-aaralan natin dito:

Noong unang panahon, ang isang anak ng samurai na nagngangalang Zenkai ay naging empleyado ng isang opisyal. Sa kasamaang palad, nagkagusto siya sa asawa ng opisyal at, noong nadiskubre sila, pinatay ni Zenkai ang opisyal para ipagtanggol ang kanyang sarili. Nagtanan sila ng asawa at naging magnanakaw sila. Matapos ang ilang panahon, nandiri si Zenkai sa kasakiman ng babae kaya iniwan niya ito at naging pulubi siya sa probinsya ng Buzen.

Para makapagbayad-sala, hinangad ni Zenkai na gumawa ng kabutihan bago siya mamatay. Noong nalaman niya ang tungkol sa isang mapanganib na daanan sa isang lambak o valley kung saan maraming manlalakbay ang namatay, napag-isipan niyang maghukay ng tunnel sa bundok na gawa sa bato. Habang nanlilimos siya ng pagkain araw araw, nagtrabaho siya gabi gabi.

Some time ago I bought a book called Zen Flesh Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings and one of the stories there (“The Tunnel”) best illustrates the success lesson we’re about to learn here:

Once upon a time, a samurai’s son named Zenkai became the retainer of an official. Unfortunately, he fell in love with that official’s wife and, when he was discovered, Zenkai killed the official in self-defence. He then ran away with the woman and they both became thieves to survive. After a while, however, Zenkai grew disgusted by the woman’s greed and so he left her and he became a beggar at Buzen province.

To atone for his past misdeeds, he wanted to do something good before he died. When he found out about a dangerous road in a valley where many travelers died, he decided to carve a tunnel through the stone mountain. Begging for food during the day, he did his work every night.

Bakit ang Pagbasa ng Libro ay Hindi Nakasisigurado ng Tagumpay (at Ano ang Makatutulong)

Ipinapaubaya natin ang ating kaalaman at karunungan sa susunod na henerasyon gamit ang mga libro, articles, video, at iba pang media. Iyon ang paraan kung paano umuunlad ang sangkatauhan at kung paano mas-bumubuti ang mundo. Sa pag-aaral ng kaalamang nakamit ng iba mula sa kanilang mga karanasan, nilalagpasan natin ang ilang taong paghihirap mula sa trial and error. Nagagamit natin ang mga natutunan nila upang makagawa ng mas-mabuting mga bagay. Sa pagpuhunan sa kaalaman, dumadami ang pagkakataon nating magtagumpay. Kapag mas-marami tayong nalalaman, mas-marami tayong oportunidad na magagamit at malilikha.

May isang hadlang lang tayong kailangang alalahanin at ito ang dahilan kung bakit napakaraming “matatalino” ang hindi umaasenso. Huwag kang magkakamaling mag-isip na “knowledge is power.” Hindi ito totoo dahil kulang ang kaalaman lang.
