The weakness of the boy
The weakness of the boy
A 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo despite losing his left arm in a tragic car accident.
The boy began lessons with a Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he didn't know why, after three months of training, the master only taught him once. Finally the boy's "sensei" (Japanese instructor) said, "Shouldn't I learn more moves?" "It's the only move you know, but the only move you need to know," replied Sensei.
The boy did not understand very well, but he believed in his teacher and continued to work. Several months later, Sensei took the boy to his first competition. The boy surprised himself by winning his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but after a while the enemy got bored and beat them. The boy was an expert in his single act to win the match. The boy, still in awe of his success, made it to the finals.
This time his opponent was bigger, stronger and smarter. For some time the child seemed to be ready. Concerned that the boy might be hurt, the referee called for a stop. He was about to stop fighting when Sensei intervened. "No, let him continue," Sensei insisted. Immediately after the start of the match, the opponent made a mistake: his guard fell. Immediately the boy did his job of pinning him down. The boy has won races and competitions.
Become a champion. Back home, the kid and sensei go through all the moves of each match. Then the boy took courage and asked what was really on his mind.
"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with one move?"
"You won for two reasons," replied the sensei. "First, you've learned about one of the hardest punches in all of judo. Second, the defense is known for that move for your opponent to grab his left hand."
A child's greatest weakness has become his greatest strength.
Moral: Sometimes we think we are weak and we blame God, circumstances or ourselves, but we don't know that our weaknesses will one day become strength for us. We are all special and important, so don't feel weak, don't feel proud or hurt, live your life and do good!
