"It's not about being better than anyone else, it's about being better than you were yesterday."

This saying is from Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. In addition to training the body, the training of the mind and the continuous striving to improve your personality for Kano was also a primary goal. His philosophy consists of two core concepts: Maximum effectiveness with minimal effort (Seiryoku Zenyo): what someone does must be done with optimal use of mental and physical energy. In the judo you learn to use the strength of your opponent. In life, this is the principle of doing the right things at the right time. Mutual benefits and well-being (Jita Kyoei): you have to respect yourself and others. In practicing the judo you learn to work together to master your skills. You can not learn the sport without an opponent; you throw yourself and are thrown on your turn. As an IOC member (1909), Kano strongly believed in sport as a means to bring countries together. This concept of collaborative learning is important to me in many areas of my life.

A little better every day?
Every day a little better than yesterday sounds easy, but of course it is not. And sometimes you also go back a number of steps first. It is mainly about being aware of what you are doing and considering whether certain things can be done a little differently, or better.
How does that work for me?
