"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." ~Albert Einstein 
Wing Chun isn't about knowledge. It's about imagination because Wing Chun doesn't give you a script, it gives you the tools you need to open your mind. Just as Bruce Lee said, "Don't think, FEEL," this opening of the mind allows your subconscious to take over. Continued practice of Wing Chun you to connect your mind to a place of relaxed awareness where everything becomes part of "the flow". You learn to stop trying so hard, stop pushing and start appreciating the moment. As you become one with the concepts of Wing Chun, you learn to embrace confidence with future outcomes.

This is exactly what Thoreau was talking about when he said, 
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours."
