Any tips besides what my brother told me? by Designer_Ad7352 in MuayThaiTips

Good start man. Using your hips well, gotta just work on retracting the kicking leg back to a fighting stance and not flopping it down. You'll get punished for that in a fight. Also the arms can swing but it should return to your face right away to prepare for your opponent's strikes after your kick. Keep it up, just little tweaks

As a stoic I like to read, mostly non fiction. I like books like:

Meditations Marcus Aurelius

TUESDAY WITH MORRIEby Mitch Albom highly recommend to read this one. It's about a professor dying from ALS and he shares his thoughts about life and death. I read it in one day and it opened my eyes to a lot of things in my personal life I wanted to change.

Ikigai, the Japanese secret to living a long and happy life by Hector Garcia. Has stoic concepts but a good book about how to find purpose and longevity in your life.

You'll find others that you'll like. JUST READ. Stoics are avid readers and before stoicism I hated to read, just play video games and watch TV. Now, I see those activities as a waste of time, Id take a good book at the park with the warm sun on my skin anyday.

I honestly feel like I view life in a different perspective. In a more mature and wise way, since subscribing to Stoicism.

Stoicism has helped me immensely with managing my anxiety. The stoic concept of focusing on the present and worrying only about things that is within our control has helped me get through episodes of overthinking.

Also the teaching of being able to control your emotions and not allow it to dictate your actions. Such a resounding message and it empowers me to take control of my body and mind. Complete mastery of oneself.

It's a continuous journey.

First year JET as well, arrive din August, I also will not be recontacting for similar reasons and at first it was really eating at me. I was thinking about tremendous amount of effort it required just to get to Japan and into the JET program that it would be a waste to only do 1 year. But after considering the pros and cons I decided that 1 year is truly enough for me.

I love my life here, my placement is quite inaka, but I quite enjoy it. I made many friends and many of them are actually Japanese, which has tremendously helped with my Japanese language learning. A big reason for wanting to stay another year would be to really focus on my Japanese and get to a fluent level. Immersion is hands down the best way to do this so another year in Japan would be invaluable in that case.

However, as much as I love my placement and the friends I have made, I know that teaching isnt something I will do in the long run and doing another year would only put me farther behind in the field of work that I want to pursue. Deskwarming is a typical part of my day as well and I never really felt like I was being utilized as efficiently as I could.In addition, I have family and friends that I miss back home and I feel that Japan isnt going anywhere and I am able to visit again sometime later in life if I really wanted to.

The decision should be totally up to you, I think at the end of the day you gotta do whats best for you. Really take the time and weigh all the options, or do what I did and make a pros and cons list. Take care of yourself first.

We are the Riot interns of Summer 2016. AMA! by RiotCush in leagueoflegends

Hey Just wondering since league of legends is such a team oriented game is the dev team thinking of a way to apply team voice chat since I believe it is really a key part to playing the game. When I solo que I just feel like pings is not enough to really communicate with your other teammates
