I just wondered what you guys considered serious minded. I own a martial arts school called Davis Warriordo Academy. It is based on the premise that a true warrior is one who is experienced in the "battles" of life. The dimensions of the warrior are dedication to excellence in the following areas:
Martial Arts
Physical Fitness
Intellectual Breadth
Spirituality
Social Skills
Emotional Quotient
Vocational/Financial skill/development
I guess the reason that I am serious minded is because everything I say, think, or do, I try to base according to excellence in these areas. I have many faults! But I try to set goals that work on my weaknesses. This is what I try to instill to my family and my students. Just interested in you guys ideas.

EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA, A GAZELLE WAKES UP.
IT KNOWS IT MUST RUN FASTER THAN THE FASTEST LION
OR IT WILL BE KILLED.
EVERY MORNING, A LION WAKES UP. IT KNOWS IT MUST OUT RUN
THE SLOWEST GAZELLE OR IT WILL STARVE TO DEATH.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU ARE A LION OR A GAZELLE.
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU'D BETTER BE RUNNING!
