Listen to Your Heart / Follow Your Heart
隨心而行 is the closest way to express this idea in Chinese. Literally translated, this phrase means “Allow your heart to dictate your behavior” or “Let your heart guide your conduct” in Chinese. You could also translate this as “follow your heart.” Or, with a bit of imagination, it could mean: “let your spirit be your guide.”
Note that in some cases, “heart” can mean “mind,” “soul” or even “spirit” in Chinese. In ancient China, it was thought that the big pumping organ in your chest was where your thoughts came from, or where your soul resides.
Ancient western thought followed a similar belief. Thus phrases like “I love you with all my heart” and “I give you my whole heart.”
Taekwondo Tenets / Spirit of Taekwon-do
跆拳道精神禮義廉耻忍耐克己百折不屈 is General Choi's writing that is often called “The Tenets of Taekwon-do.”
The actual title would be translated as “Taekwondo Spirit” or “The Spirit of Taekwondo.” It was originally written in Korean Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korea for about 1600 years).
General Choi's original calligraphy is shown to the right. Your custom calligraphy will be unique, and not an exact match, as each calligrapher has their own style.In modern times, the common form of written Korean is Hangul (a phonetic character set). The table below shows the text in Hangul and Hanja along with a pronunciation guide and a brief English translation:
| Traditional Korean Hanja | Modern Korean Hangul | Pronunciation | English |
| 跆拳道精神 | 태권도정신 | tae gweon do jeong sin | Taekwondo Spirit |
| 禮儀 | 예의 | ye yi | Courtesy / Etiquette / Propriety / Decorum / Formality |
| 廉耻 | 염치 | yeom ci | Integrity / Sense of Honor |
| 忍耐 | 인내 | in nae | Patience / Perseverance / Endurance |
| 克己 | 극기 | geug gi | Self-Control / Self-Denial / Self-Abnegation |
| 百折不屈 | 백절불굴 | baeg jeor bur gur | Indomitable Spirit (Undaunted even after repeated attacks from the opponent) |
| Note that the pronunciation is the official version now used in South Korea. However, it is different than what you may be used to. For instance, “Taekwon-do” is “tae gweon do.” This new romanization is supposed to be closer to actual Korean pronunciation. | |||
