After a few years of training, my trainer told my grandpa to take me home and said there was nothing else he could teach me. Before I left, he gave me a box of meditation books and asked me to read them whenever I was free.”
At that time, Alexander stopped for a moment before continuing, “After reading more of these books, I gradually understood that the key to kickboxing is strengthening the mind. No matter how important the moves are, our minds are most important. From these meditation books, we can sometimes find answers for kickboxing and business skills.”
Hearing what he said, Lily said half-jokingly, “In other words, you almost became a Zen master at teaching meditation.”
If Alexander did, he probably would not have met her.
To her surprise, Alexander nodded thoughtfully. “Well, I almost did.”
Laughing, she playfully swatted at him.
Now, Lily related what Alexander told her to Heather. Shocked, the latter became speechless for a long time as her face flushed and then paled and darkened.
Lily understood that it was easy for her to accept, but it was a huge shock and blow to Heather.
Heather struggled to convince herself that the secret handbook did not exist, as she had always believed in it.
“I know you find it hard to believe, but…” Pausing for a moment, Lily said slowly, “Alex wanted me to tell you that you’re already strong enough. There are always people who are better than us, whether as businesspeople or kickboxers, and there’s no need for you to thrive to become the best, especially in the modern world.”
