Lessons from a Japanese story. a 10 year old boy decided to study
> judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating
> car accident.
>
> The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was
> doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of
> training the master had taught him only one move.
>
> "Sensei,"(Teacher in Japanese) the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be
> learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the
> only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.
>
> Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept
> training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first
> tournament.
>
> Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The
> third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his
> opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one
> move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in
> the finals.
>
> This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced.
> For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the
> boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out.
>
> He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the
> sensei insisted, "Let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his
> opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the
> boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the
> tournament.
>
> He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed
> every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage
> to ask what was really on his mind.
>
> "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
>
> "You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost
> mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second,
> the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your
> left arm."
>
> The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.
>
> Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame God,
> the circumstances or ourselves for it but we never know that our
> weaknesses can become our strengths one day.
>
> Moral: "Each of us is special and important, so never think you have
> any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its
> fullest and extract the best out of it!"
