  Speaker 1: it's I like because it's real. H m hm h
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: m h m hm m hm. My name is yen
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Le So I come from China when I was voting.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So I go into so Temple study mashwats. Then true father,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I come to UK. So now I leave in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: UK for twenty years. So I'm growing up in Shinyang.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So I grew up the village. My family is quite poor. Uh.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I got to sleep brothers and least three sisters. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'm the youngest of one. I'm number seven, so you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know that time. I'm born nineteen seventies, so that time
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: everyways Paul so with me, I leave the vinity even
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: more poor. You know, when Paul, you will have trouble.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: My family is stolen because with Paul. So also because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm the youngest one. So when I grow up, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: will have problems because people always give me trouble. So
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: make me quite angry person because they just bully me
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: or beat me. So just make me over with the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: mount fighter back. But I'm small, so it's difficult for me.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Basically I grew up very tough place. Also it's good
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for me, make my character very tough. Won't get something,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I have to fight to get it. It's makes my
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: character correct even stronger. In China, usually you want to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: school it seven but I want to school it five
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I leave the village because nobody look after me. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I want to school it earlier, so people will. When
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you're weak, people will choose you because they got confidence
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: experience for me, more you make yourself stronger, or push
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: yourself even you're scared, you tell yourself you have to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: do it. The more you do it, more people don't
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: give you trouble, even you are the youngest one in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the class, because then now you're correct, people beat me up.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I want them room for it is not this. It
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: is not a reason before you in the village. Seriously,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you only want get enough food to eat, not be hungry.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You don't have a dream. You don't know what you picture.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You know, you have no ideas. Every day. You just
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: want to have enough to eat. You know, have safe life.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: When you poor in China, you can only have You
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: don't have much choice or studying really hard, going to university,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: or enjoying the army or do much work. You only
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: have street choice. For me at that moment, I only
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: think I got the street choice. Everyone different. Yeah, it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: for me. Life. If you enjoy your life, if you're
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: happy with life, is fine for me. It's different because
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: because our teaching in West are teaching all the students.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So for me, I want to be a good examples.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I want to open more doors for them. I have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of students that become personal trainer, someone becomes stummer,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: someone open the school because they see me I did.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: People always use edge to to excuse edge. Also the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: one can execute to stop themselves. Say oh I'm fifty,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sixty. What's wrong You're sixty, what's wrong fifty? Yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. You know if you think it matter.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: When you're eighteen is a problem. You say, oh, I'm eighteen,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I cannot do gymnastics. I'm too old. You know, someone
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: start from five. You know it's excused. You desire, it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not enough to conquer you excuse Yeah. For me, discipline
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is not really strong words for me to describe my
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: journey because the reason is you have to from your discipline.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You stick with something, you keep going in your blood.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You won't dig it for me, I won't dig it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I won't see how long I can go. I'm fifty. Yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I think i'm good. I'm sixty. I won't look I'm fifty, yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'm good. When I'm seventy. I won't look I'm fifty,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: saying I want challenge. I want to give people. Example
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: when one day people say, oh, look I started with shift.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He's seventeen. Okay, he's still saying, yeah, I won't change
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: people the way to make excuse you don't know if
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you're strong, If you set up your target, you folks,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: your journey, then will bring lung long happiness for you. Yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: short happiness is very easy. Get drunk, you're happy five
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: minutes now to day you say, fuck, I shouldn't do
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this because you don't like yourself. Then trust me. One
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: week later you forgot. You repeat it again. You mean
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: your life. You're cycling, you know, go anywhere. It's just
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the same place. You didn't go. Simply go to gym
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: use the bike. Yeah, you didn't go anywhere. You didn't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: go anywhere because you're scared to change. You know, people
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: say I don't like my job. Hey, excuse, you work
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: for twenty years. If you don't like why you do it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You're scared to change because you don't know if you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: will change what's happened. So this reason. Most time you
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: kill your dream, you kill your direction, You're killed it's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: not someone killed you. You did life. Sometimes no choice
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is the best choice because you have to do it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: They give you, give me that time, give me a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: strong discipline. So when I set about set up my target,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: then meant how long will detach? I know this is
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: my journey. I will get it. I will get it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: You know when you go to time for he's studying
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: martial arts. Then you started understand a little bird life.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Before you were angry. You want to fight with people.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But when you learn fighting, you slowly, slowly. You don't
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: want to fight anymore because you want to fight someone
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they can fight. You want to have equal fight. You
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to the street to do this
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: anymore because you know it can beat him because he
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: don't know any much. For us to get success, do
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you have to sacrifice things like seeing your mom and dad. No,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: because it's for me. It's difficult because I'm leaving the West,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: my parents in China. This situation makes sings happen. Uh
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you you you don't need to be locky this. Yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: but when I'm fifty, when you're older, I'm guarrant for me. Okay,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: my friend will be less and less not getting more
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and more because I know who is my real friend,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: who is not my real friend? And now I also
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: know which meeting I need to go, which meeting I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: don't need to go. You got more more time for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: me before people say I'm very busy. I don't have time.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You do go, time you go, You got time to drinking,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you go, time on the phone. You know now, especially
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for now people, when you open your phone, since you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: looks some sense, you will not stop. You will keep going.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Then when you look at watch halfways gone or one
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: wise gone, you know what you learn? Nothing? Nothing on
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: your body. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm better than everyone.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I'm the same. Sometimes one locker phone or lock fight,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I said, it's good, keep going, I realized I don't.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't learn anything. I just make me excited. When
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm watched fighting, I watch I write him down what
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: technique I like? I took my phone cloth that I'm
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: tried movement. I keep going after I in my world. Yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: everything on your bodies belong to you. Everything not your
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: body not belong to you. You buy the horse not
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: belong to you, One day will be someone else. You
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: don't know who are the horse anymore slowly. You will
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: not focus what you lose. You will focus what you have.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: You do something suddenly put one hundred percent effort in.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Then after you don't care any anymore because it's your
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the is your best. Same you kick again. You tell
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you that I think my best. It's all I can do,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: so you never thinking anymore. This reason when you go
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to skill, difficult to lose because you do the million
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: millions time so someone can take it. Someone cannot take it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They destroy your life because you can't see the west
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: west in the same some famous boxer, they stop fighting.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: The life change, make tas change. I'm happy he changed
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it back. No, he'll become back. But a lot of
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: people not seeing him, they lost their life. They destroy
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your life. The discipline go another way. They not drink alcohol.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: They stop training. They say I need a drink. They finished.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: The killer said learning my life. I would want to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: learning because only you're learning. You make you bring brands fresh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: also make you Your skill would be better because you're hungry.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: If you feel full, that's your live stock. Because you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: are the best, you don't need to learn. No one,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: no one can say the best. So for me, I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: always think I'm the students, So I like to learn
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: with different people. It's for me life don't need to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be that tough. But for me because I said, it's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: because my background makes me thinking that way. Yeah, everything
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I need to prepare myself prepared. Giving me for me
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: propried is give everything you can to make yourself ready.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: What's what's the biggest lesson you've learned in terms of
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: becoming successful and how you define successful? Like, what's the biggest? Then? Uh,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: successful for everyone have different meaning. You know, for me,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: successful is I got a dream. It's mean I got
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a dream, I didn't let it go, and I have directions.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So every day I tell myself, you need to go.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: You need to get your dream, you need to get target.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: So more I'm doing. Next day I don't want to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: do it. I tell myself you need to go more.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: You do more. You close. You don't seem the traffic.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: You know, when every car stop, everyone worried, start worried.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Since can't moving, you will not worry even moving very slow.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You know, you go somewhere. Yeah. So for me life,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: most time we got trouble. It's not most unhappy, you know.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So when you have the problems, you have to try
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: it away. If you can't deal, if you cannot change,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: let it go. You have to focus something you have,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: not to always focus something you don't have. You know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I want to reach. My dream is for me. I
• 16:11
