Edited by Veve7

Also what means Mind over matter?

What do you mean with mean?

Do you mean to ask what the card does?

Or do you mean to ask what the words mean?

If this is what you mean, then google is your friend.

If you are asking what the words themselves mean:

Guts = Bravery/Courage in the face of danger

Think On Your Feet = Being able to think quickly to adapt to a rapidly changing situation

Hard Knocks = Basically bad luck in life, bad things happening to a person. a full phrasing would be "He comes from the school of hard knocks"

Mind Over Matter = The use of willpower to overcome physical obstacles

Just for explanation, these are all English language slang terms and phrases:

Guts: To have no fear. The gut is the belly, stomach and/or intestines, and "to have guts" or "gut it out" is basically to overcome fear, and thus ignore that uneasy feeling one get's in the stomach when afraid. "Butterflies in the stomach" is an expression for that feeling, meaning fear.

Think on your feet: It's generally easier to solve a problem when you have the time to sit down and calmly think of a solution to the problem. Being able to "think on your feet" means literally to think and solve problems while standing up, in the middle of the crisis itself, when there's little time and nothing is calm.

Hard Knocks: When you make a costly mistake or are forced to choose a coarse of action that you know will end in pain and misery for you, you have taken a "hard knock" in the metaphorical sense. Life has hit you, hard, as punishment for your mistake, or just because hard choices are like that. Those people who have lived a life of many such mistakes or hard choices, due to bad luck or just generally not having other options (due to being poor, for example) are said to have graduated from the "school of hard knocks".

Mind over matter: to ignore pain and use willpower, resourcefulness, and discipline to persevere in a hard situation. Often in fantasy situations where mental powers like telekinesis exist, this is sometimes used for those sorts of powers too, but the expression is originally meant to refer to overcome some obstacle with intelligence, discipline, perseverance, resourcefulness, etc
