Weakness may be your strength

[Guest guest]

Weakness is also strength

 

 

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had

lost his left arm in a 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, " 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. 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.

moral of the story- Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses

and we blame God, for the circumstances and our self for it, but we

never know that our weakness can become our strength one day. Each of

us is special and important in this world, 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!
