Shoot and die. Don't shoot... also die
Read this from an online article Top 10 Secrets of Shooting Better in Archery.
Number Five: Shoot and die. Don't shoot ... also die. :-)
"This is a martial arts philosophy, and is similar to the idea of 'burning your bridges'. When you're shooting, you should perform as though you were in a life and death situation. Not so much to increase your anxiety level but to engage yourself by fully committing the shot to the target. If you're really serious about archery, why shouldn't that seriousness translate to full dedication to each shot? 'Shoot and die' means to focus yourself at that moment at the exclusion of everything else. 'Don't shoot ... also die' means that if you don't do to your full ability, you might as well just give up now."
Maybe it sounds a bit extreme as to going to die. Life is precious and we should all cherish it. But “Shoot and die” gives the idea of full commitment to a particular task. Giving maximum attention and effort in achieving whatever we do as if this is the last task in our life. Once we have decided to do something, we should put do our very best in it. No matter how bad the decision can be, we should never look back on our decision and always try to make the better out of it. Guess that is the best way to train ourselves to walk strong in this thorny path in life.
“Don’t shoot also die”, come to think of it, I could have died many a times trying to shoot something.
