Separating from his friends and family, Kai was finally going to chase his dreams. For too long, they told him that he wouldn't survive without their support.
"Screw them. I'll be successful and attain my dreams no matter what!"
Nothing was stopping him now. As he rose through the ranks, ascending to higher heights than he ever thought possible, he couldn't believe how far he's come.
"And I used to doubt myself too, I can do anything I set my mind to."
In the process of getting his next achievement, his head got too big.
Reality humbled him quickly.
POP!

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.

Action Required
It was the early 1980s, and I worked forty hours per week and also helped teach martial arts three nights, taking my daughter with me to karate. My good friend at the time was a black belt, like me, and we were both judges in local karate tournaments. After class, we went to Godfather's Pizza for dinner. I ate salad at their salad bar many times during those years and loved it. She and I would watch all the karate and kung fu videos, so popular then, at either her place or mine on weekends. We loved the cheesy kung fu movies. Our bodies bobbed and weaved with each punch and kick. We would holler out and watch the unbelievable stunts. We discussed all the films with our martial arts friends. There were many with unknown stars, but also the Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris movies and, later on, Steven Seagall ones; we were entertained by them all.
