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 Sensei (teacher) was an old
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 Sensei 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 Sensei 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.
