Moshe is simply saying he is drinking nearer the source. I would keep an empty cup and allow it to accept any ideas , you never know what might drop in. :D
You might find that your Sifu filled his cup with some of his own ideas to compensate for a half full/half empty cup, for $'s, dvd series, book series, uniforms, grading fee's instructor courses, mandatory certification, license fee's, membership, contracts, or any other means to put his proverbial "hand into your pocket" and thats on the first day joining :D:D:D:D .
