What controls your life?

Which do you regard as more important? You martial arts career or your schoolwork/job? Well, if you run a dojo an/or sell martial arts equipment full time, it doesn't matter. In most cases the answer will be your work. But, then again, there are times when we skip or take a leave.

I ponder this for the next school year. In the fall, I shall be taking three Advanced Placement classes. Boy, that will be a lot of work. And as I have probably mentioned before, I will be going up for shodan ho. I foresee a lot of practices and lots of homework. Not to mention that there will be more tournaments soon. With tournaments, especially the ones that are more that two hours drive away, require time off from your careers. And with most tournaments, there are seminars and demonstrations (practices for them included.) . Those which are often a day or two before the main events. And more than not, these pre-events happen on a Thursday or Friday. If you're a person with a career or classes where it is a hassle to take time off, these tournament/seminars/events are a humongous problem.

So, what shall I do?
