..... The tiger is Physical Power, fury, and determination..... the dragon is more enlightened, and its strength comes from within, it chooses when to fight, and avoids it whenever possible. The tiger is always a part of you, and it is human nature to be the tiger..... the true master knows this, and as a dragon knows when to use the tiger, and when to be the dragon....

Confused yet lol...... simply put.... Know when what you have is not adequate, and know how to use the force within, not be controlled by it!
