On my bucket list is skydiving...
A dream for the future
On my bucket list is skydiving, which seems like an amazing experience, a moment of complete surrender. Another dream of mine is to contribute to building a school in Africa. In Cameroon where my mother is from.
Africa is the richest continent in the world in terms of resources and yet there is a lot of poverty. I see it as my duty to give something back to the continent where my roots are.
If there is anything I would like to teach in the future, it is emotional intelligence. Nowadays, you have almost all information at your fingertips, which means you need different skills in everyday life. Emotional intelligence should therefore become increasingly important in education. Your feelings are very influential; they can define your life. That is why babies are so wonderful; they are so pure in their expression. We always like them, regardless of their behaviour. As you get older, you often forget these things. I think it is very important to help new generations not forget that very purity and teach them to deal with emotions and desires.
Learn skills you can always use
By training in Wing Chun, you learn skills you can always use, physically and mentally. Everything in life starts with movement, with doing. You help remind your body and head to take action.
WuDae is a very nice place to get moving. The school is open to everyone, and everyone trains in their own way. You automatically find your own way in Wing Chun here. It's a great way to get to know yourself and your body better, and to maintain a certain focus in a relaxed way.
