Words and Wisdom from Zhuangzi’
By Tony Blencowe
This is from the famous Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi’ so called Inner Chapters written around 500BC. I think it perfectly encapsulates Wing Chun Philosophy.

Chapter 3: Opinions on Nurturing Life
If you sort through for the strongest points fate has provided to you and set your course by them, then your body can be protected, your life can be perfected, your loved ones can be supported, and you can live out your natural life span…….
Cook Ding was cutting up an ox for Lord Wen Hui (Kind Gentle Official). With his hands in place, his shoulders hunched, his foot thrust forward, and his knee bent - every slice of meat fell in front of him as his knife seemed to hum a melody. With a steady rhythm, it didn’t miss a beat. It was equal to the dancing performed to the music of “The Mulberry Grove,” and as skillful as the musicians playing “The Jing Shou.”
Lord Wen Hui said:
“Oh, excellent! How did you come up with such a perfect technique?”
Cook Ding set down his knife and replied:
“Your servant is fond of Dao, which advances techniques. At the time when I first began as a butcher, all I could see was a whole ox. Three years later, I no longer saw the ox as a whole. Nowadays, I sense with my spirit instead of looking with my eye. My brain knows when to stop and let my spirit take over. Following the natural grain, noting the large gaps between the cartilage and observing the huge hollows - they already provide me with a map. When I come upon places where muscle and bone connect, that’s the only time I need to be forceful! A good cook changes his knife every year because he cuts. An ordinary cook changes his knife every month because he hacks. I’ve had my knife for nineteen years, and I’ve butchered over a thousand oxen. It’s as sharp now as it was when it was first honed. Each section of the ox has a gap, and the edge of my knife is narrower than that opening. Those are the gaps where I thrust my narrow blade. So wide are those places where I place my knife that there’s lots of leeway. That’s why I’ve had this knife for nineteen years and it’s still like new. Nevertheless, every time I come to a dense spot, I look for its difficulties. I proceed with caution and keep my guard up, considering when I should stop and when I should move slowly. I move the knife just a little bit and that part is quickly separated, like a clump of dirt shiftng on the ground. Then I lift up my knife and stand up straight, pausing to look at all my work until I’m satisfied with it. Then I properly clean my knife and stow it away.”

Charlotte, NC – Inspiration Mobile, the turnkey mobile solution from The Inspiration Networks, has been selected as the service provider for the United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland’s (UBFOGC) new mobile text daily messages, it was announced today. The service, “UBFOGC Mobile,” will deliver daily inspirational messages to subscribers from renowned mental health educator, psychologist, and author Dr. Gwendolyn Goldsby Grant. To access “UBFOGC Mobile,” subscribers can text “UBFOGC” to “40653” or visit www.ubfogc.org and click on the “UBFOGC Mobile” button. The service is available in the continental United States through most wireless carriers.

Celeste Terry, the assistant executive director for the United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland, said that a portion of the proceeds from subscriptions will be used to support the more than 80 agencies in the Greater Cleveland area that the organization funds annually. “The launch of UBFOGC Mobile ushers in a new era of soliciting donor support for our organization. This service is a great option for donors who want to lend their support in a non-traditional way. They now have the unique opportunity to contribute financially to local non-profits that serve thousands of children, families, and seniors, and receive encouraging messages from one of the most respected counselors and motivators in the country – Dr. Gwendolyn Goldsby Grant.”

Bill Airy, COO for The Inspiration Networks, said that UBFOGC Mobile exemplifies how mobile messaging can be used by non-profits and faith-based organizations to stay connected with their publics. “There are more than 219 million cell phone users in the U.S. alone. Non-profit and faith-based organizations that are seeking innovative ways to stay connected with their members or donors can benefit greatly from Inspiration Mobile. It is a creative, cost-effective solution that delivers results.”

While the use of new technology mediums such as mobile messaging is a main priority for the United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland, Terry said that using new technology solutions is still a rarity for most African American non-profits. “As an African American organization, we’re always striving to stay relevant in our industry and in our community. Inspiration Mobile empowers us to do just that. We have placed ourselves in a better position to sustain our organization and effectively serve the community in the Greater Cleveland area. We are on the cutting-edge.”

In the daily text messages from UBFOGC Mobile, Dr. Goldsby Grant will draw on her experiences as a psychologist, lecturer, author, and advice columnist to deliver insightful tips that span a variety of topics, including: forgiveness, motivation, recovering from mistakes, losing the victim mentality, and more.
