Analogies: Set 3 - Learning versus Plateaus, Peaks, and Valleys

Learning versus Plateaus, Peaks, and Valleys

During their journey through Taekwondo, students will reach plateaus, achieve peaks, and experience valleys. Students start their journey from a valley where they know nothing about Taekwondo. Students will reach plateaus in their training where no progress is apparent. If they persist, they will travel over the plateau and continue their climb until they reach a peak in their training. However, during a journey, reaching one peak only means you must transit more valleys, experience more plateaus, and climb more peaks. The good thing is that as they progress, the valleys are not as deep and the peaks are not as high. If the journey ever reaches level ground, it will be over, and so will their progress in Taekwondo.
