STRENGTHS OF STRENGTHS

Sometimes your weakest point can become a great strength. Take the example of a 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo, despite having only one arm after a traffic accident.

He started his first lessons of judo with a pretty old Japanese teacher. He did very well the requirements of the teacher. But he did not understand why, after three months, the teacher was teaching him only one move.

"Teacher" - Unquestionably curious, the boy said brusquely - "Why do you only learn to move every move?"

"That move, I just know it's moving, but that's the only way I'll need to be able to win," he explained gently.

Although he did not understand the idea, he still believed and continued to practice hard.

A few months later, the teacher took the boy to the first competition. To his surprise, he easily won the first two matches. The third match was a tough one, but he still struggled and eventually won with only one move. Can attend the finals, the boy surprisingly about his achievements.

In this fourth match, your opponent is bigger, stronger and more experienced. The match took place for a long time, the referee worried the boy might be too much should suggest time to rest. But the teacher did not agree and asked the referee to resume the match.

The match was resumed, the boy's opponent made a basic mistake: not guarded carefully. He used the lesson of how to move to defeat the opponent. He became the winner of the match and won the championship.

On the way home, the boy and the teacher took a step by step look at each battle, then the teacher encouraged him to say the question is in his head.

"Teacher, how can you win all your opponents with one move?"

"You win for two reasons," he said. "First, I did one of Judo's most difficult tricks, and secondly, with that defense, you could have won The focus of the opponent on the weakest part of his arm is then to knock them down. "
