Contemplation Journal
Aim Small, Miss Small!
Aim small, miss small is a phrase made popular by two movies, The Patriot and more recently, American Sniper. This means that if you just aim at a target, you may miss the target entirely, but if you focus and aim at a specific bullseye, you may miss it, but still hit the target. In other words, pick a small target on a much larger target. You may miss the intended target initially, but because you have a tighter Margin for Error (in Kenpo speak), the correction needed is much smaller, therefore requiring less effort and delivering a faster result (Economy of Motion).
What is your reaction to the scene in the clip from The Last Samurai, A Mans Destiny?
