Trustworthiness
Hello everyone! We are almost half way through 2017, can you believe it! We hope all our students from Chang’s Taekwondo Martial Arts in South Surrey, Cloverdale, Tsawwassen and Aldergrove are enjoying the warm weather. Please remember we must take care of our bodies! Drink enough water, wear sunglasses, slop on sunscreen and find shade to hang out in.As for our Taekwondo schools, we have a new word of the month!TrustworthinessTrustworthiness is to be deserving of someone’s complete faith, belief and confidence.
Reliability, Accountability and Dependability are all very important values when it comes to trustworthiness. To be reliable means I will always do the things I say I will do. Accountability means I will take the blame if things go wrong, or I will make right things that might not be. Dependability means not only will you do what you say you will do, and take the blame if things go wrong, but you are so trustworthy that people start to depend on you. For example, all our Chang’s Taekwondo Dojangs (Schools) have Leadership Helpers to assist the Instructors. As these helpers learn and grow, and become Junior Assistant Instructors and beyond, we will come to depend on them. How do we move up the ranks in the Leadership Program? By being Trustworthy; by being Reliable, Accountable, and Dependable.Trustworthiness also plays a part in our training in Taekwondo. When you are a trustworthy person, people want to be your partner. Be it to hold a kicking pad, or spar with, or to practice Self-Defence with.. If you are not trustworthy, then students will avoid and lament being paired up with you! We have a choice to change our attitude every minute of everyday, so let’s all do our best to become Trustworthy this month.. and beyond!**If you would like extra stars:
- Tell your Instructor of a time you showed you were Trustworthy
- Define Trustworthiness in your own words
