Shortcoming OR STRENGTH?

in #health6 years ago

Once in a while your greatest shortcoming can turn into your greatest quality. Take, for instance, the narrative of one 10-year-old kid who chose to think about Judo notwithstanding the way that he had lost his left arm in an overwhelming auto crash.

The kid started lessons with an old Japanese Judo Master Sensei. The kid was doing admirably, so he couldn't comprehend why, following three months of preparing the ace had shown him just a single move.

"Sensei," the kid at last stated, "Shouldn't I take in more moves?"

"This is the main move you know, yet this is the main move you'll have to know," the Sensei answered.

Not exactly seeing, but rather having confidence in his educator, the kid continued preparing.

A while later, the Sensei took the kid to his first competition. Astonishing himself, the kid effortlessly won his initial two matches. The third match turned out to be more troublesome, yet after some time, his adversary ended up anxious and charged; the kid deftly utilized his one move to win the match. Still stunned by his prosperity, the kid was currently in the finals.

This time, his adversary was greater, more grounded, and more experienced. For some time, the kid gave off an impression of being overmatched. Worried that the kid may get hurt, the ref got a period out. He was going to stop the match when the sensei interceded.

"No," the Sensei demanded, "Let him proceed."

Not long after the match continued, his rival committed a basic error: he brought down his defenses. Right away, the kid utilized his turn to stick him. The kid had won the match and the competition. He was the champion.

In transit home, the kid and Sensei checked on each move in every single match. At that point the kid summoned the mettle to ask what was truly at the forefront of his thoughts.

"Sensei, how could I win the competition with just a single move?"

"You won for two reasons," the Sensei replied. "To start with, you've relatively aced a standout amongst the most troublesome tosses in all of Judo. Also, second, the main known protection for that move is for your adversary to snatch your left arm."

The kid's greatest shortcoming had turned into his greatest quality.
