Not long time ago in West London, I've been advertising some of our GMMA Academy classes, dedicated to ladies only.
Giving out the leaflets i would briefly describe: what I have to offer.

Having a bit of experience from college years, back in Poland, when I was selling newspapers or distributing leaflets to make some extra money, I would roughly understand psychology of my potential customers.
Knowing and respecting simple fact, that people don't usually go out on the streets with an idea of collecting all free paper they come across or talking to every stranger looking for attention.
Having that in mind I wouldn't over think the way people react or their lack of reaction to my offer.

Some ladies would politely take the flier, some would just pass by. Some would show they interest and appreciation some would have their minds busy or would simply walk they own way trying to avoid another scam.
There was a fit and confident looking young girl, in her early twenties which has handed the flier back to me and with proud expression on her face she said that she "doesn't need a workout ".
Then she walked away and smoked a cigarette.
Clearly aware and proud of outside look that mother nature has endowed her, she was fooling herself that it is going to be everlasting. Ignoring other, more important benefits of healthy lifestyle and exercises.
Thinking of that girl, one very accurate statement said by great fighter, women and athlete Ronda Rousey came to my mind.
Ronda has said in one of her interviews that "she doesn't train to look good and impress the man, but simply to get better and stronger".

Giving lots of attention to our outside look, using technology and shortcuts in every aspect of our modern lives, we tend to forget where real strength and beauty comes from.
We tend to bypass idea of our physical/mental health and our longevity.
My fighting experience has taught me another great lesson which can easily be translated to real life situation.
Inside "the ring" it was never the look of mine or my opponents that would define the outcome of the fight. It was always mental strength and stability which would drive the physical body to push further and harder.
Physical training is a great tool building up our monument, chipping up steadily gives us something more than just outside look.
Gives us the character.
Patience, persistence and desire makes us able to carve in the hardest stone we can get.
And that will always stay with us.
