a. What does Driving Bible mean? Hieu wrote a driving manual (called the "Driving Bible") for the driving school. It is still in the making and will be published one day for the entire world to see and learn from. If you want to learn anything about driving, then the manual has the answer to it all. One authority. One source. The Driving Bible is it.
b. No excuses. Just because it's dark (or the sun's in your eyes) and hard to see, that doesn't give you an excuse to make a mistake, to run a stop sign or hit another car or pedestrian. If you can't see very well or not very confident (at blind intersections or congested situations), then go SLOWLY until you build up your confident, skill level and have had more driving experiences.
c. The Drive, The Reason, The Motivation. When you are on the road, you must know there's a chance that you can injury or kill someone or yourself. If you take unnecessary risks or not fully focused, and you're in the car with family members and you get into an accident (whether its your fault or not--you could have prevented it), you could crippled them for life or even lose them. Just know this when you drive, have it in your mind, let it occupy your thought as you navigate the roads. Now to go deeper: how about the other drivers on the roads? Will you let them go home to their family? Will you let their family members who are riding with them live? Have that thought in your mind as well. On a lighter note, will you cause someone to be late to work, to school, to a meeting, wedding or social event because you're braking unnecessarily or cutting in and out of traffic, trying to get somewhere 5 minutes quicker while at the same time causing a domino effect, having the driver behind you brake and the driver behind him also braking and the driver behind him didn't brake he's not ready for it or was momentarily distracted?
d. Don't give up. Winner NEVER quits. Quitters NEVER wins. Just because you suck at driving, it doesn't mean you'll suck forever. You can be a loser today and a winner tomorrow. But that will NEVER happen if you don't continue to persevere. Despite the odds, you MUST forge ahead and believe in the best. It will come (if you do everything you're supposed to do); it's only a matter of time. If you can't lane change correctly or parallel park in 3 steps, ask yourself (or someone else, such as Hieu Tran) what are you doing wrong or not doing right. Then fix the problem. Don't repeat your mistakes. Learn from them. It takes time to be good at something and it takes much more time to be great at any thing.
e. Calmness in any situation--no matter what No matter what happens, whether you crash or die, remain calm. Because if you're not, then worst things can happen (you'll make more mistakes). For example, you're stopped behind another car. You see a driver behind you not stopping. At this point, there's nothing you can do but embrace for the impact. You know you will crash. Now you can only decide how you will react to that, and if you can minimize the impact.
f. Don't be a creature of habits. Expect the unexpected In the world of driving, ANYTHING can go. A drunk driving on the wrong side of the road. Someone not checking their blind spots and side swiping you. A girl on the cell phone swerving into your lane. A teen in a rush to get somewhere and runs a red light or stop sign. A guy having a bad day and taking it out on you by tailgating you. An emergency vehicle suddenly hits you from nowhere. A car braking in the middle of the street because the driver thought the pedestrian "might" cross. A little kid chasing a ball that's right in front of you. Conceive of all the possibilities and be ready for them. That's your biggest defense.
g. Superior Competitor. It's not about who's the strongest, the faster, or the smartest. It is about the individual and his heart. No matter what he does, where he's at, he will excel more than the others because of his will, his determination. So when it comes down to it, it is not the subject or task but it is the man himself who makes the subject or task interesting and worthwhile. If you're in school, for example, certain subjects can be of little interest, such as history or mathematics. As stated before, it is not the subject. It's about being competitive: mastering what's at hand and therefore beating your opponents (others who strive to do better than yourself). Take history, for instance. You read the facts, the dates, the names. Now you find the reasons for the result of these causes and why are they important then (and today as well) and think of the possibilities of what could have gone wrong and how that would affect the country and you. You make (however you go about it) history important, give it life and interest; not necessary because you love the subject, but because you want to be the best at what you do; no matter what you're doing. Apply this competitive nature to anything and you're bound to succeed. History is one application and driving is another and relationship and health and so forth. Be the Superior Competitor!
h. Determination versus experience. Regardless of the technical knowledge a person possess or personal experiences, if one has the drive and the will to accomplish that drive, then he will be victorious in the end. If someone wants to beat you coming home from work, it doesn't matter if you know the best route, he will beat you solely because of his desire to. There is nothing you can do about it, unless you want it more than him! Good luck on that though! In conclusion, it's not necessary the experienced driver who is a better driver, but the one who is most competitive (aggressive).
i. Progression. It is okay to make mistakes as long as you don't repeat them unlimitedly. Know what you did wrong and fix it. End of discussion. It is okay to repeat your mistakes several times, but it is NOT okay to continuously repeat the mistakes and it's NOT okay to not do anything about them. Work on your weaknesses first. Not your strengths. Build up your weaknesses until they become your strongest skills. Stick to what you're good at, what you know and build upon them beyond perfection (beyond any known level). Don't repeat your mistakes. Learn from them. Don't do the same thing over or you'll get the same result. If you want something different, then make some changes!
j. The "Un-Natural" Driver. For the last 16 years, you've been walking, so expecting to be a good driver in less than a year is unrealistic. Instead, to be a decent driver is a practical goal. Therefore, driving is not natural. No one is born to drive; everyone has to learn how. Driving is a task you must always have to think about (be focused when doing it). You will spend countless hours and numerous years attempting to perfect the art of driving. It will be difficult and exhausting, with endless repetitions of maneuvers and errors. But in the end, the reward is unbelievable--obtaining skills few people possess and even fewer have mastered. The so-called "natural" driver is a common misconception. "Naturally," you can only do so much--not hit anything, drive in a straight line, apply the gas and brake pedals decently, make wide turns, and so forth. Driving goes beyond this, and to get to this beyond-ness, you have to have the technical knowledge and insights; however, before you reach this stage, you have to have the experience, the ability of self-reflections and awareness of your surrounding. If achieving all of this is not possible by yourself, then there are unique individuals, such as Hieu Tran, who can show you the way, leading you on to the path of being a great driver.
k. America, the Greatest Nation, and Sacramento is its Greatest City. As you mature, you think of others and less of yourself. You give more than you take. You began to contribute to society instead of damaging it (being the problem). You (your hard work and shared-knowledge) are the fuel that gets this nation moving. If parts (certain states) of our nation fails, then eventually all of it will fail. The problematic re-occurrences don't solve themselves: traffic violations, injury and death accidents. But rest assured, since America is the Greatest Nation, it has the Greatest Drivers in the world. Absolute Best Driving School is here to guaranteed it!
l. The Pyramid of Driving. Here are the 5 levels of achievement regarding driving: Where you are at and where you want to end up.
Greatness (God, Power, Immortality)
Mastery + Responsibility =
Discipline + Creativity =
Perfection + Time =
Forms + Speed + Repetitions =
L. How to possess confidence. It is false to say you're confident if you are starting a new task. It is false to believe you possess it on your first try. Confidence is the direct result of countless failures. Without failures, there can be no confidence. The more the failures and the greater the failures, the stronger the confidence. When you fail, you have to specifically know why you failed. Now that you know, it doesn't mean you will not fail again. (It is ignorant to think so.) At least, however, you know what went wrong. With this new knowledge comes time--time to perfect your forms.
M. What is beyond confidence? Mastery level--In the image of God. As the sun rise and set, as night comes after day, and Tuesday comes after Monday, all your intentions WILL come true. When you want something, you will get it. When you do something, it will happen. Nothing matters. Nothing stands in your way. Everything you desire is AT-WILL, regard of time.
P. How to possess faith. When you want something to happen, it will happen. Faith is the end result of your desire. Don't mistaken it for the journey. It is the middle man, your guardian angel. It is this unseen (many times, unknown) power; this force that lead you to your heart's desire. If you want to lose weight, then you will. For example, you lose your accounting job because you're too depressed to go to work because co-workers make fun of your weight. You get fired, move back home with your parents, and then spend all your money and time working out. In time, you chiseled your body and landed a career as a personal trainer. That's faith. No matter what happens, you WILL get what you want. It is not what people think, how you feel or what is going on. But in the end, did you get what you want? Do you know what you want? Faith is automatic. You don't have to exercise it. You don't have to use it. Don't mistaken though: if you originally want something and then later change your mind to get something else, then faith will work for you to get that something else instead of your original desire. Regardless, faith is there--weather you acknowledge it or not.
Q. How to build Will-Power. Will-power means actions. The more the actions, the greater the will-power. If you want to get an A in school, first you have to be there! Show up every day. Come on time every day. Listen to the lectures, ask questions, and do your work. When you come home, you have to open your books and read the assignments and do the problems. It is not good enough to do an assignment once. Mastery of anything does not come after one application. The universal law states that mastery is only the product of countless applications of the same task, and there is no ending to any single task. One task can never be mastered (perfected) completely--not even in one's lifetime. However, striving for it will get you closer to the goal of mastery. Pretend it takes you 10 minutes to complete a math assignment. Doing it 5 more times, it will. take you an hour total. As a result, you will remember the assignment for years to come rather than forgetting it once you have completed it. With that one hour of application, you have obtained that mathematic knowledge for a lifetime!
