Inspired...

Inspiration is the key to unlocking potential and genius. Believe me when I say that there's a trapped genius in us trying desperately to break free.

In challenging the norms and expectations of society, we are forced to examine new and different ways to solve problems - since new problems are created from old solutions, we need to think beyond the present.

Our solutions like a game of chess should anticipate future disruptions and take care to avoid them occurring.

Inspiration equally requires perspiration as Thomas Edison said - 1% Inspiration and 99% perspiration. Equally the "WILL" to persist in a direction in spite of difficulties encountered - that is the true worth of the measure of a dream...

Dream (Inspiration) Perspiration (Effort) Challenges (Obstacles) Goal(Achievement) - the path way to success.

However there always challenges: It is always perspectives that provides the aim

Those who have changed the universe have never done it by changing officials, but always by inspiring the people.

Imagination rules the world.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step

Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven.
— Philipus A Paracelsus

Wow...

I'm lost for words here but from reading about the practitioners (and believe me when I say the word) one comes to the conclusion that humanity is a race with no boundaries except those that are self imposed.

It is this that makes us truly great - imagine hence the being that has granted us this capacity to develop and evolve not just physically but mentally as well...

A video that should shed some light on what "this" is...

Also a quick search on wikipedia should provide additional information - it is actually becoming mainstream as a feature in several films (Casino Royale, Borne Ultimatum)
Ps: search for free running, parkour

As a philosophy - it espouses the elegance of flight as opposed to traditional martial arts that espouse self defense...

This gives a new meaning to leaving your enemies in the dust...
