A Japanese story ...PLS READ IT FULLY

[Guest guest]

> �

> A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact

> that he had lost his left arm in a devastating 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,�(Teacher in Japanese) 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.�This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and

> more experienced. 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.�

>

> Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we

> blame God, the circumstances or ourselves for it but we

> never know that our weaknesses can become our strengths one

> day.�
