A path through life is like 2 sides of an equilateral triangle. there is a wrong path or side and a right path or side. The further progress is made down the wrong side, the harder it is to get back to the right side. The path becomes longer and more entangled with difficulties.
Training follows a similar pattern. An untrained person often lacks guidance and if their path lacks structure, the stage can be reached, where there is no route back across the triangle, the only option being to go all the way back, "unlearning" all of those bad habits and the further down the wrong path you are, the harder that journey becomes.
The return journey is not impossible but it takes a strong character to firstly identify or admit to such issues and an even stronger character to correct it.
It never ceases to amaze me though, how many such characters exist and it gives us, at Rubicon Developments Limited, an unbelievable level of satisfaction, when we meet them and in some small way, assist.
Training is like the guidance of a parent. We never stop needing it and we never stop passing it on. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
