On one occasion about 15 years ago my teacher said to me,
"Would you like to know the fundamental principle of TaiChi?".
Of course I was extremely eager to receive such a gift & told him so.
He then proceeded to tease me, "Mmm, I'm not sure that you're ready".
I tried my best to allay his doubts.
He teased a little more, mainly for dramatic effect, before finally saying,
"The fundamental principle of TaiChi is not to be a turd.
Now go away and work on that one".
This is actually quite a profound statement.
