When we were younger, my parents put my brother, sister and I into Jujitsu classes at the local YCMA. We all studied at different levels, but ultimately had the ability to take someone down hard and fast when necessary. Nonetheless, that is not the most important lesson. I didn’t realize it at the time, but there is one teaching that is now the most essential skill I have and that I use in every single part of my life: sports, relationships, work, blogging and living.
This lesson was DISCIPLINE.
I say this because I do pride myself on my discipline as it as ultimately taken me to were I am today and with that said…
I have never seen the art of discipline so well exercised than in this clip:

I enjoyed the monkey too, and the picking inconspicuously at the banana. Hehe!

Oh how cute! What patience they show…and you could see the first dog drooling all the way through it. My dogs have mastered that part at least.
p.s. thank you for your kind words left on my blog about the passing of our Fritzy. It is much appreciated.

Great, now after seeing that I pretty much have to let your brother get himself a “helper monkey”.
Thanks
