Another of life’s Big Things is discovering who you are

The problem with many people is that they are subjected to external stimuli such as this and accept it, even assimilate it. Individuals with strong personalities are usually pretty good about establishing their own identities, but others, like me, have to work hard for.

Despondent, Po sought refuge at the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom where he gorged himself on fruit to help sooth his pain. He was approached by the wise Master Oogway.

“I pretty much sucked today more than anyone in the history of Kung Fu. In the history of China! In the history of sucking!” said Po.

“Probably,” replied Oogway.

“The [Furious] Five! You should’ve seen them. They totally hate me!” said Po.

“Totally,” said Oogway.

“How’s Shifu going to turn me into the Dragon Warrior?” said Po. “I’m not like the Five. I’ve got no claws. No wings. No venom. Even Mantis has those… thingies. (sigh). Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.”

“Quit. Don’t quit. Noodles. Don’t noodles,” said Oogway. You are too concerned about what’s what and what will be. There is a saying, ‘Yesterday’s history. Tomorrow’s a mystery. But today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”

Quit. Don't Quit. Noodles. Don't Noodles
