Sometimes your biggest weakness can become
your greatest strength.
There was a 10 year old boy, who's left arm was
damaged and subsequently amputated. He decided
to learn judo. His Sensai (teacher) was an old Chinese
judo expert.
The boy learned quickly. After three months, he had
learned only one move. He asked his teacher to teach
him more moves. The Sensai told him that this was
all he would need.
Soon after, the boy entered a tournament, where he
quickly advanced to the finals, where his opponent
was bigger and more experienced. The boy seemed
very out matched. After a long match, the opponent
seemed to lose concentration. Quickly, the boy took
advantage and pinned what seemed to be his superior
opponent.
On the ride home, the boy asked his Sensai. "How
could I win with only one move? "The Sensai replied,
"You have nearly mastered one of the most difficult
moves in all of judo. And, the only defense against
that move, is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become
your greatest strength.
