A TOUCH OF ZEN … ‘JUST TWO WORDS’

Focus On the Positive

 

There once was a monastery that was very strict. Following a vow of silence, no one was allowed to speak at all, except for just two words every ten years.

After spending his first ten years at the monastery, one monk went to the head monk and said, “Bed … hard!”

After another ten years had passed this same monk went to the head monk and this time said, “Food … stinks!”

Yet another ten years passed and the monk once again met with the head monk, this time saying, “I … quit!”

“Well, I can see why,” replied the head monk. “All you ever do is complain!!”

SIFU George Says…

“ I believe that we have the choice to either focus on the positive aspects of our lives or dwell on the negatives. The monk in this story chose the negatives and therefore was not accomplishing much – he was basically wasting his time. Although he spoke only six words in thirty years, he did nothing but complain the whole time – in his head. That’s why he had nothing better to say when he had the chance.”

WARRIOR HAIRSTYLIST

 The Ninja Hairstylist

 

Here I am with my good friend and student, Stuart Phillips. This was December 2013 when Stuart was about to do a blindfolded haircut on former footballer, Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock. We joked that I was there in the event of anything going wrong, but of course there was no chance of that happening. Stuart is a true master of his craft and a genuine celebrity hairdresser.

He has had some amazing clients, is the official hairdressing writer for on-line OK Magazine and is the recipient of multiple awards. This year alone he won two awards at the English Hair & Beauty Awards‘Best London Salon of the Year‘ and ‘Best UK Salon of the Year’ … he received the award for ‘Best Salon in London’ at the London Lifestyle Awards 2014 … and most recently he was declared the ‘Best Male Hairstylist in the UK’ at the International Achievers Award 2014!!

A true Warrior Spirit can help anyone achieve all of their goals in life and Stuart is a Warrior!!!
